DVI To Composite Cables?
<< < (2/2)
DJ_Izumi:
Yes, those adaptors there are just pinout adaptors.  They'd only be used to convert the pinouts, they are not capable of any signal conversion.  They'd be meant for hardware that could do the conversion first.  With the composite adaptor, teh graphics card would be rendering composite video out the VGA port and the adaptor would just give you the right pinout.  Personally, I've never seen a graphics card that does that, they just get dedicated s-video ports instead.

The component cable is the same.  More suited for converting RGsB over RCA to RGsB over DE15.  Would be great for getting PS2 480p games on RGsB capable monitors. :)

How about a video card with S-VHS out? That's at least better than composite and there was a time not too long ago when many video cards had S-VHS out.
DJTommyTheCat:
Cheers for the responces.  I'll make sure to find a TV with at least S-Video, as I'm certain I've seen display adapters with S-Vid Out.  Or Composite Outs, that too. ^.^
RayB:
Keep reminding yourself of this: Composite = ---smurfy--- quality image. THe only thing worse than composite is one of those old-fashioned RF of co-axial connections.
