Title: What connector is this? NOT S-Video
Post by: Texasmame on September 16, 2006, 09:57:43 am

On a ATI All-In-Wonder card.  Looks like it wants to accept S-Video but doesn't.  What kind of cable is this?

TIA,
John in NH

Thanx.  Off to try and find one today.  All else fails, guess there is eBay!   :cry:

Well there seem to be two jacks like it on there, so I'm presuming one is input and one is output.  Since the last user posted an input cable, I just wanna make sure you know to get an output cable and not the input one...

Although it may seem obvious, I will admit that sometimes in the heat of getting things I often overlook the most obvious details...

That is of course if you're planning to use this card for TV-out like I'm presuming... If you want it for s-video input then you're all good!  ;D

Yeah, it's just for the S-out for MAME.

Bummer. 
Best Buy - strike one!
Radio Shack - Strike Two!
Fry's  - STRIKE THREE!

Nothing local.  EBay it is, then!  :-\

What's wrong with the site that was posted above?

They have the input and output cables for $16.95 each.

Just seems easier than eBay...

Nothing is wrong with it but eBay's prices are about half of that. . .

ATI cards are great for TV to PC output. Depending on whether your PC has AGP or only PCI slots:
AGP: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161150
PCI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814241001
Both are great cards and cost between $30-$36
