What kind of video card TV output is this?

can use SVideo with it or use the NVidia BreakOut Cable for component video

I see. I have a break-out cable for component that is seven-pin, which didn't come with but happens to fit the (I thought was) HD output on an old laptop I have. Where does that kind come in?

I don't know why you posted that.

I think he posted the picture to answer this question:

It did sound like you were asking where does this type of connection come in quality-wise compared to others.

I can't see that one at all - but I'll re-phrase it thusly:

How many PC-end HD-type connectors are there?

Why are they different?

And why, when I have the one I mentioned above going between my laptop and my TV, doesn't the laptop see that anything's connected? (It does see S-video, when that cable is used.)

HD? Well VGA handles HD resolutions, and there's both the round connectors to component and VGA to component cables. Some video cards also have HDMI out

Why are they different is sort of hard to answer completely and succinctly. VGA is the PC standard connector , component was the standard for HD before HDMI existed, and HDMI is the new standard.

Is no one understanding that the 6800 image above has nine pins, and the one I described my laptop having has seven pins?

Obviously not.   

Considering this is the first time you brought it up and it's your question, I think you need to state exactly what you want to know.

This on an Nvidia 6800.

Why you asking the question what kind of output when your showing us the picture Someone who asks for help because they cant figure it out for themselves should rethink how they reply back to the ones that are trieing to help them!

Well considering we can't see your laptop, how are we supposed to know your laptop has 7 pins?  My old laptop had more than 7 pins spread out between many different connectors.
Your original question was answered with the first reply.
Perhaps if you told us exactly what you are trying to do then maybe just maybe we can help!

I'll re-start this a different way. No pictures, so you can't cheat.

a) S-video outputs/inputs are four-pin.

b) I've seen a video card TV video out that has seven pins

c) I've seen a video card TV video out that has nine pins

d) I have a TV out dongle that fits the seven-in output, and apparently for Component input on a TV, as has three ends colored respectively red, blue, and green.

e) I have found nothing on either output type. Has anyone here seen these two outputs on video cards or any PC-type of video output, and do you know anything about them?

Thank you so much. That clears up a bit of things.

Now, regarding my laptop. It has the seven-pin output. However, the laptop will not recognize the TV when connected via the component dongle, and the manual only says 's-video port', so I'm guessing other models in the series may've supported component source, but not this one, right?

Not all formats support "communicating" from the display device! What I mean by this is a format like Component is one way. There's no way to "detect" a device is attached.

[SavannahLion]

I haven't the foggiest what the OP's erm... beef is. Getting rid of the image of the port was... less than helpful actually.

In any case...

7 pin

9 pin

The likelyhood the seven pin diagram matches what you have

I was getting that idea. Hrmmm.

Oh come on. Where's your sense of ad-venture?

I don't know. In light of the above, it may not matter. Thank you, though.

Gray_Area,
Please forgive me but what is the point of this post again?  You wiped out your original post.  Perhaps you could tell us what you are trying to do and then we can recommend different options.

I have all the information I need. Thank you.
