What are these cables for? (1 Viewer)

Description:

The "hardware" portion that's included in the bundle. It's the usual cables and that includes 2 DVI to VGA converter, a 4pin molex to 6pin PCIe power connector, a S-Video to HDTV converting cable, a S-Video to RCA component out cable, composite extension cable, and lastly, the DIN VIVO/Composite cable.


i know what DVI to VGA converters are in the picture, but i am not sure what each other one is , and what they are used for.

any help?

TOP ROW:

S-video->conventional video cable, maybe for a tv tuner->vcr;

The extension for the video cable;

S-video to S-video I think, the left port is unclear (by extrapolation, this is the "DIN VIVO/Composite cable");

DVI to VGA converter - if you have a newer LCD, it doesn't plug into your video card. This is a convertor to do just that.

BOTTOM ROW:

S-video to your standard TV/video ports for hdtv boxes;

The power cable for a pcie card;

-----

Only one I dunno what it does is the "DIN VIVO/Composite cable" :\

A DIN VIVO/Composite cable is technically a splitter that allows you to connect video in/video out in different connectors all to the same port from the card. I don't see it in the picture though, maybe yours isn't a VIVO version?

VIVO is Video In/Video Out

Video In Video Out, usually seen as the acronym VIVO, enables video cards to have bidirectional (input and output) video transfer through one connector, by using a specialised splitter cable. VIVO is commonly pronounced "Vee-Voe", but other pronunciations are in use.

VIVO is featured on some video cards, such as the Nvidia GeForce range and the ATI Radeon series. It can receive input from RCA or S-Video sources, and typically moves output over RCA, less commonly over S-Video. However, at this time, S-Video is more widely used for VIVO by both Nvidia and ATI.

Some VIVO cables also support the output of component luminance, and 2x chrominance, enabling HDTV support. However as this connection is not digital it does not support HDCP which would be required for official HDTV support as set out by the EICTA.
