Video Input & Video Output
You can use the S-Video connector to send and receive video signals to
and from video devices that use standard AV cables such as Video Cam
Recorders or DVD Players. However, you must use the VIVO cable which
is supplied in the packaging when your card supports Video Input, Video
Output functionality. At one end of this cable is the S-Video connector that
you attach to the card. The other end will have up to 4 connectors which
may include one or all of the following connectors: S-Video-In,
S-Video-Out, Video-In (AV), and Video-Out (AV). Attach AV video devices
to either the Video-In connector or Video-Out connector depending on
your needs.
Note: In order to use the Video-In functionality, you must have installed the
WDM (for VIVO use) drivers from the Setup CD-ROM (see software
installation section). If you are only using Video Out functionality, you do
not need to install the drivers. Also note that you must use the audio
connectors on the mainboard to transmit audio signals.
