Does any know what these cables do?

[necro007]

Hi, it would be great if any of you guys or gals could help me out.

I'm trying to find out what do these cables do.

Can any one tell me.

Here are the pic's of them:

Pic-1

Pic-2

Any help would be great.

Edit...,I found out this one is for HD.

From left to right, you have composite/svideo in and out; Component out; S-video cable; composite cable.

Those are for the VIVO, Video In, Video Out.

first one: idk
the second one is component out
the third one is svideo cable
the fourth one is regular av cable

 

[Matthias99]

From left to right: VIVO (I think), YPbPr (component) output, S-Video, RCA.

To use the component output: plug it into the socket it fits into, enable component output through CCC, connect YPbPr cables between the plugs and an HDTV.

Edit: Beaten to the punch like a red-headed stepchild.

Pulsedrive has it right. The first cable is your standard VIVO cables: it has inputs and outputs for Composite video (the yellow plugs) and S-Video.
-The second cable is component video out. That supports progressive scan resolutions up to HD: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i.
-The third one is an Svideo cable (and a pretty decent quality one at that!)
-The fourth one is a composite video cable (and a pretty decent quality one at that!)

Okay thanks for the replies.

From all of your input i understand that....

From left to right...

1..composite/svideo in and out: But can any of you tell me how to use it(when would i need to use it).

2..component video out: But can any of you tell me how to use it(Iam i right by saying that this cable is used on a HDTV).

3..Svideo cable : This one i have used befor on a dif card, so thats not a problem.

4.. composite video cable : Again i don't know how to use it.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Also:

Cables 1 and 2 are not very long, so i won't be able to connect it to my PC and my HDTV at the same time how do i use them.

Help please....

This is a VIVO cable used for video input and output. Two of the plugs are inputs, so you can connect an external device (VCR, game console, cable box, etc.) and view/record it on your computer with appropriate software. This should have come with the card. The other two are outputs, so you can display your video card's output on a TV (or feed it into a VCR or the like).

You plug it into the 'middle' socket on the card (between the two DVI/VGA outputs).

2..component video out: But can any of you tell me how to use it(Iam i right by saying that this cable is used on a HDTV).

Plug it into the 'middle' socket on the card, enable YPbPr output in CCC and select the resolution you want. Use component (YPbPr) output cables to connect the plugs to the matching inputs on an HDTV.

4.. composite video cable : Again i don't know how to use it.

How can you not know how to use a composite video cable? It's a frickin' video cable; plug it from the input/output of the VIVO cable into a device that takes a composite input/output. It's just like the S-Video cable, except for RCA video.

Cables 1 and 2 are not very long, so i won't be able to connect it to my PC and my HDTV at the same time how do i use them.

They just give you composite/S-Video or YPbPr plugs on your video card (respectively). Use the included S-Video/composite tables to connect the VIVO cable to other devices. You'll need to buy a separate set of component cables to use the component outputs.

So correct me if i am wrong,

1..Cables 3 and 4 i can use out of the box, correct.

2..Cables 1 and 2 i need to buy some cords to connect them to my tv.

Any idea where i could get thouse cords from.

Also is there any way to use my TV speakers to play songs or sounds from my PC just like you could use the S-Video cable to display my PC desktop on my TV.

Thanks for the help.

Cables "3 and 4" and can be used with Cable "1" to connect inputs or outputs. If you want to connect two things via composite or S-Video (rather than one of each), you'll need more composite/S-Video cables.

Cable 2 gives you component (YPbPr) plugs that can be used to connect your PC to an HDTV and actually get HD-quality output. You can get component cables at most places that sell AV equipment (although most B&M stores will gouge you horribly on them; I suggest cablesforless.com if you want them cheaper). Note that if your HDTV has DVI/HDMI or VGA inputs, you can use those as well.

Also is there any way to use my TV speakers to play songs or sounds from my PC just like you could use the S-Video cable to display my PC desktop on my TV.

I'm gonna have to go with audio cables on that one?

You will probably need a stereo minijack->stereo RCA adapter plug (like this one), if that's what you are talking about. Then plug it into the audio inputs on the TV or your receiver.

Thanks just one more question,...

..........................................................

Is there any other program i could use to enable it cause CCC is just too big, i don't like it.

Could i use ATI Tray Tools.
