howie b Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 (edited) Okay, so I have an ASUS V9280/TD (Ti4200), and I am going NUTS trying to figure out how to display it on my TV. The problem is, that my TV does not have an S-video connection. Now before I go spending money on an S-video cable and an S-Video to RCA converter (this is what I think will make it possible, because I have RCA outputs on my TV) is this right? Is this what I need to do? Run the S-video into my Video card, and then an S-Video to RCA converter to my TV? Anyone please help me gain back my sanity!!! *EDIT* This and This are what I'm talking about. sigh..doesn't anyone have an answer?!??!!??!!!

Guest Trios Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Yes, that would work. My video card came with a s-video to RCA adaptor, but it plugged into the video card and you put an RCA cable from that to the TV, but I'm sure either way would work.

Some_Guy_ Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 If it's not too late, that won't work unless you buy an s-video coupler as well. What I would do is buy the first item (converter) which plugs directly in to the video card, then a standard RCA video cable to go to the TV. If you bought both of those, you would plug the cable in to your vid card, plug a coupler to the other end of the cable, plug in the adapter to the coupler, then a standard RCA video cable to your TV.

Guest Trios Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Ugh, I didn't look at the stuff he was buying before I posted, and just expected that he knew that you would need a adaptor with the ports switched (s-video female, RCA male) in order to do what he was looking for. Yes, that adaptor works the way mine does: plug it into your video card, and plug an RCA cable between that and your TV. No need for an expensive S-V cable.

howie b Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 oh, sweet....luckily I didnt buy either yet, so all I need is the converter just to clarify? (the $9.99 item?) Thanks again guys. JHB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHB Yes, all you need is the converter as long as you have a spare RCA cable lying around somewhere. Otherwise, you'll need one o 'dem too.
