VGA to S‑Video / 3‑RCA Adapter Cable Key benefits Enables video output from VGAequipped computers to displays or recorders that accept S‑Video or three RCA (composite/componentstyle) inputs when the VGA card supports TV‑out through the VGA connector. Solves compatibility problems between older TVs, VCRs, projectors or capture devices and PCs that only provide a VGA connection. Simple, passive adapter that uses standard connectors—no drivers or power required—so setup is quick and reliable. What it does Converts an SVGA/VGA signal into S‑Video and three‑RCA outputs when used with a VGA card that has TV‑out capability via the VGA connector. One standard VGA (SVGA) input on one end; on the other end a 4‑pin mini S‑Video connector plus three RCA jacks. Compatibility and function Intended for laptops and desktop PCs whose VGA cards explicitly support TV‑out through the VGA port. It will not create TV‑out where the graphics hardware/software does not support it. Works with equipment that accepts S‑Video or three RCA inputs (composite/component style connections), allowing older audiovisual devices to receive video from a computer's VGA output. Important attributes Connectors: standard VGA (female) input; mini 4‑pin S‑Video connector; three RCA jacks. Design: compact adapter with standard, industry‑compatible connectors for easy hookup. Performance: provides an analog video interface path from VGA/SVGA to S‑Video or RCA inputs when supported by the source hardware. Practical use scenarios Connect a laptop to an older CRT TV or projector that has an S‑Video or RCA input for presentations or playback when the laptop's VGA card supports TV‑out. Route video from a desktop with a TV‑out capable VGA card to a VCR or video capture device that accepts S‑Video or three RCA jacks for recording or digitizing analog footage. Use with AV switchers or mixers to integrate a PC's VGA output into an older AV setup that relies on S‑Video or composite/RCA connections. What to check before buying Verify your PC's VGA card supports TV‑out through the VGA connector (this adapter does not provide conversion if the graphics card lacks TV‑out capability). Confirm the target device accepts S‑Video or three RCA inputs. Included items (as described) VGA to S‑Video adapter: works with VGA cards that offer TV‑out via the VGA connector. SVGA to S‑Video adapter: one standard VGA input; one mini 4‑pin S‑Video connector and three RCA jacks. SVGA to 3‑RCA adapter: cable to convert VGA to S‑Video/signal (VGA to S‑Video adapter). This adapter provides a straightforward, hardware‑level way to route analog VGA/SVGA output to S‑Video or RCA inputs when used with compatible VGA cards.
