S-video to coax?......s-video to monitor?

[feralkid]

Greetings, i'd like to connect my dvd-rom (via xtasy 6564 s-video out) to an older television w/o s-video. I also would like the option of outputing (sp?), from this same card to a separate monitor, which sits at a 'gaming station'. Are either of these things a. possible? or b. easily done with some sort of adapters? The radio shack drew a blank, i figure i can do much better here. Thanks!

svideo to rca is possible

not quite sure if i get your second question. you want to run s-video to a second monitor, yes?

not sure if you're gonna be able to pull that off

Many thanks! This site actually has both. Regarding the second question, yes, that's what i'd like to do. It looks like the same site has this also, it's an s-video to VGA adapter: $81, (ouch).

yeah...that's gonna be tough.

you'd almost be better off getting a video card with 2 outputs that you could "clone" so that the same thing shows up on both monitors...but good luck finding a card with dual outputs that ALSO has really good 3D support!

You can get a monitor splitting cable to hook up two monitors and run the s-video out via RCA to the tv.
