What is the connector out on the V5500 for?

As the title says. I can't tell you the name of the connector out because I'm not home but I was just wondering what it's for.
 
If its a 4 pin molex connector then its so you can connector to the Powersupply daisychain with other 4 pin molex connectors to supply the V5 the proper amount of watts in order for it to perform best. 4.8watts for each chip if me memory serves me right.
 
woops, sorry should have been more specific. On the PCB there is a row of pins that look like they take a connector. In fact they look remarkably similar to SLI. I was just wondering what it was actually for.
 
Happygamer thanks for the links. I got the whole power connector bit 😀 that was fairly obvious. How is that cable used for DVD? I've yet to muck around with DVD on PCs, mainly because of that wildly expensive standalone dvd player with more outputs than I have fingers.
 
the connector is for a hardware dvd decoder. but you can use software dvd decoders if you have a dvd cd player. I use hardware dvd and software decoders. The best software dvd decoder I have used is ati radeons. I had a radeon card and the software decoder works good on the V5.
 
fair enough. I guess I should read up on the world of playing DVDs on your pc but I can't be bothered. More than content with my DVD player.
