chaintech ti4600 vivo? what's the dongle look like?

[MIDIman]

I just bought a card on AT last week - chaintech ti4600 GT60 - and the seller sent it with an interesting video/s-video dongle. It has four connectors on it - a black s-video, black rca video, a yellow s-video, and a yellow rca video.

Question - apparently this card is capable of VIVO, but doesn't come with the retail box. The dongle he supplied did not come with the card, but the main connector going into the card is the same.

So - which of these cables is video in and which is video out? Or is it possible that it is for 2 video outs?


I tried loading drivers - but all I got was the nvidia detonators, and the WDM video driver from chaintech. Nothing worked of course, and I'm assuming its just because I'm mixing two different driver versions. Tonight I will uninstall the chaintech WDM and install the nvidia WDM instead.

I believe yellow is out (if this is a standard arrangement) and black is in.

superb - and driver-wise, all I need is the original nvidia drivers, and the WDM driver right?

Are there any simple shareware programs I can use to test it out? Was running it through Movie Maker in WinXP, but I'm not sure how capable that program is.

Yes, you should be fine with the nVidia driver. I do not use nVidia's video in to capture, but the video out works fine for me.

I use Ulead Videostudio 7 to capture with. Ulead has a free trial version you can use to try it out. Video capture can be flaky to say the least so be persistent. Let us know how it goes.
