Needed this piece to convert my s-vid to RCA for my old-school tube TV. Worked as it was supposed to. :)
I thought it strange that this product was so hard to find in a brick and mortar store. I tried Radio Shack, Target, Best Buy, and others without finding it. I have a tv that lacks s-video so I needed this to covert S-video signal from my laptop and then I can show photos on a bigger screen.
The product worked on both video cards. The product works. I tried it on a 4-pin S-Video out connector on an S3 video card and on a 7-pin S-Video out connector on an ATI video card. The color intensity was lower on the TV, but then that was how I had the TV set up. FYI: The little arrow on the product (S-Video side) in the product picture is only there to show the reference position of the S-Video pins, and does not have anything to do with the direction of the conversion.
The converter works great, excelent picture quality, great for viewing movies from the computer in the tv. I would recoment this to everyone, has the quality of the higher priced converters for a fraction of the price.
I tested it between my PC's AGP graphics card S-Video output and the composite video RCA inputs on my Color TV, B/W and Green Screen monitors. If you want a high quality S-Video converter, then search no farther. I bought this little guy, tried it, and said "Hit the road." to my bulky S-Video to RF converter. All three had very good pictures. It beat my RF converter hands down, was easier to use, and shipped fast.
