</div>What you describe and if it's what I'm thinking about (the<br>
composite/component adapter that comes with the card) isn't a svideo<br>
converter.<br>
<br>
Just that the 5200 use a svideo connector to output all the various<br>
analog connection and you use the provided adapter to get<br>
composite/svhs or component video.<br>
<br>
This is not the type of cable you can plug to any svhs connector and<br>
expect to get the proper output, it only work with the card using<br>
those specific connector: typically the same video card<br>
