7 pin mini din to svideo converter?

scottish_blend

Can anyone suggest a decent cabling place to get such an adaptor?

I have to connect a 7 pin mini din on a graphics card, to a female s-video connection on the TV.

The nearest I can find is this http://img.inkfrog.com/click_enlarge1.php?image=TC11-2.jpg&username=hkibmshop&aid=63774881 on ebay

do I then only need one of the yellow male to male connectors like this http://www.techstore.co.uk/browse.php?a=p&prodLineID=90102 to connect from this connector to the yellow female plug on my tv?

Its only temporary as the graphics card I have has a DVI out on it, and I am waiting on having enough pennies to buy an LCD TV, so the problem will be solved by then, but in the meantime is ithis a temporary solution?

Have you tried just using a normal (4-pin) S-Video lead?

"If I remember" I'll look in my cable box tonight and see what I have. No promises.

i don't think its possible with the layout of the pins - the 7 pin one is laid out horizontally, exactly as the one in my first link and the s video in on the tv is the normal 4 pin v-shape?

Merci beacoup Lorian - I would be grateful, but if you can't, then no matter

A standard 4-pin will fit. The exterior pins of the 7-pin socket are laid out the same as those of a 4-pin.

Thanks irn bru - I came back in just now to look for your original post to thank you. Somebody else has just said this will work to me too - so I'm off to get one on the way home form work. With any luck - I'll be thanking you again from my new pc when i get home

Hope you got sorted.

Apologoies for forgetting to reply. I did look, but alas did not have one.
