nvidia AV breakout box
does this convert S-video (plug into my gfx cars s-video) into composite
video (allow me to plug my xbox cables into the box) in order for me to play xbox on my PC monitor? seems strange this having to go through the connection to the graphics card.... isnt that then running my xbox off the gfx card in my pc and not the onboard gfx it has? -- -- MSI KT6V AMD Athlon XP2600+ |

Matt -- The poster previously known as PYRO-Maniak Gamertag: GLY7CH Live Games: Amped 2 | Halo 2 | Links | MotoGP 2 | Ninja Gaiden | PGR2 | Rallisport 2 | SC: PT | Top Spin explain then how the s video output on my pc graphics card with an AV breakout box will allow me to connect the composite video cables from my xbox to the Breakout box and the box into the s-video of my pc gfx card, the output is going through my PC's gfx card no? also patronization is quite meager and not really neccesary, if you have no positive feedback to give me other than a simple "erm NO" then please don't bother again. It is a valid query which i expected a valid response for not someone who obviously feels as though they are superiror can anyone tell me if this is correct, here is a diagram from the nvidia website which i have seen this suggests that what i am saying is true, the only query i have is can it be used on any other card rather than the geforce fx5200 cinema card it comes with IE a geforce fx 5200 with s-video connection here is the diagram http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/3578/PodConnect.jpg one more thing has been raised in my mind, maybe this is a type of briding peripherals such as dvd/xbox/video recorder, through the pc to the TV or output any help would be much appreciated cheers chris |

It just means that you're can grab ( save to hard disk or view on screen ) the x-box's output on your monitor. The graphics your x-box produces will still be produced by your x-box, i.e. you won't be running yer x-box graphics through yer geforce card, you'll just be viewing it through yer geforce's video capture input. You'll be capturing video ( PAL/NTSC ) and the video will still be produced by yer x-box. In the same way you could connect yer VCR or cable box to your geforce and view the output on your monitor. The video will still be produced by yer VCR or cable box. Yer geforce will just be used to view or save it to hard disk, it won't be 'doing'/generating the 3D processing on yer x-box. |
