Should i be ok if i use the bundle offer in the box of my vivo card.

I'M using the cord that has 3 different's colors like bleu, red, and
green.
These tree wire are attach to the connector that has 9 male pins.
all this connected to the s-video/composite video in/out.

Should this be ok or should i get some new piece of equipment to
convert the signal from analog to digital????$%%#.

Does the cord terminate with RCA plugs or sockets? If so that sounds
like it. Very often, ATI and OEM leads have arrows moulded into the
plugs to indicate which way round it is: for capture, of course, the
arrows should point towards the card.

Are the colours actually blue, red and green? Most ATI leads I've
seen use red and black/white for audio and yellow for composite video.
Better check which is which before using it.

No, you don't need anything to convert the signal from analog to
digital: in it's essence, that's what the capture process is.

It's not working because he's trying to use a component video adapter
with RCA Composite outs... the adapter for his card has component
input. He is connecting this to a composite output and two audio
outputs. Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe any VHS unit uses
component video, it's a DVD and HDTV thing.

Sounds like the OP is trying to connect to an output but then I was cruising
through the Knowledge Base and saw this. Thought it might apply.

Video input does not work (shows black screen) on certain VIVO products
The information in this article applies to the following
configuration(s):
a.. RADEON VIVO products, based on RADEON X700 Series and higher
b.. CATALYST 5.3
c.. CATALYST 5.4
d.. Windows 2000
e.. Windows XP
With a configuration noted above, it has been found that the VIDEO-IN
functionality does not work as expected. Video applications, such as
Multimedia Center may show a black or blank screen in the video window.

To correct this issue, download and install Catalyst 5.5 display
drivers or higher.

Hope this helps.

Interesting, T Shadow - so which Catalyst driver are you using, DDC?

I'm using the 5.7 version of the video driver. Every thing is setup to
work ok update, and plug-ins too.
I would love too read about that problem on the x700 series. Do you
still have the link...

It's RCA like at the back of my video.

yes it is, And i've found out that there is a way " an arrow is on the
cable pointing outside of my computer. "away from the video card."

Thank you it really help, now it would be nice if i had exactly the
same cable but with an arrow pointing at the card.

Are all the component for video output in the bundle?
i better check that, next time.

Grrr ati.

Could you be pointing to a solution? I'm not the expert here. So
what's the fuzz about the component output and the composite one and
the s-video one too. On my Sony slv-n51 VHS cassette player there is
tree like RCA output and 3 input witch i know there is a function for
itch on, red white and yellow. At the moment i got an extent ion witch
has tree cables with male ""socket" at the end. So i'm trying to use
my video card with what i got in my hand. The second reason that i use
that cable is: I'm not familiar with composite, component and s-video
cable. So I've seen that in the bundle there was a tree RCA cable a
red a bleu and a green one all connected to a "composite plug if i
recall".

That's what I thought. I assume if the X700 is a VIVO it would have the same
purple breakout box for input that my AIWs and HDTV Wonder came with. He
wouldn't be the first one to get input and output connectors mixed up. The
ball is in his court.

Didn't know ATI went to the expense of making a different layout for the
VIVO.

I don't know why, T Shadow. Maybe it has something to do with audio
being connected through the soundcard rather than the videocard,
although I still don't really see why there should be a different
layout.

I have an adapter in my hand ATM that's for a VIVO card: an s-video
type plug that goes into the card, and from this there are four leads:
one composite video in and one out, and one s-video in and one out.

I've also got both VIVO and AIW type regular adapters (with the box
termination) - perhaps I should put a meter on them and see what the
difference is.
