[AG-TECH] Last minute equipment questions

[Ivan R. Judson]

Jonas,

There was a version of the card that overlapped pins somehow that had an
SVHS like connector on the board and a dongle to provide Composite
conversion.  That's what Many is talking about here.  Not to be confused
with a signal conversion dongle which you're right is a different beast
altogether.  This dongle is most likely a pin selector...

S-VHS is a two component (Y/C) signal, a transition connector does not 
convert a component signal to composite. Use the S-VHS output direct
from 
the camera to the win-tv card.

(some older win-tv cards had composite inputs, the newer one's are
strictly 
S-VHS)
