vivo?

it means Video input, Video output.

heres the definition:
An acronym for Video In, Video Out. This term is used to describe the additional inputs/outputs that many graphics cards have, allowing them to display frames onto televisions or digital flat panels screens, and record signals from video.
 
thanks geoff, so does that mean that i can use the 3 cable thingy (dono what its called, its the stuff that most vcrs and some dvd players use) and run it back into the computer and record things?

no, it means that you can use your TV as a computer monitor, and its probably an S-Video output. so no, you cant record things onto your computer, thats what you would use a video capture device or tv tuner for.

some vid cards use not the svideo cable, but simply the yellow video plug to transfer the image to the television.

i've seen them too, but usually its an s-video, although most video cards come with an adapter to convert s-video to a standard video plug.
 
ooo actually i can run images back into the comptuer and record, right now i'm running my game cube into the computer and its working!! YAY! My card came with a cable that has video in. Now i can transfer old vcrs onto computer. Sweetness.
 
How did you do that? I have cables that I can hook my gamecube to the S-Video port but how did you get the image onto the PC?

well mine came with this cable that splits the S-video cable into a composite video in/out and a s-video in/out. So i can connect my gamecubes video out (yellow plug) into the composite video in plug and it will display on the computer screen. Then i can choose whether to record or take still shots.

edit: sorry read your question wrong. Well the ati card came with a cd with drivers and a whole lot of programs. And one of them is called TV and through that it displays w/e you have connected.
 
Well I got the TV program and even installed the WDM drivers for the card but it still won't display. Wierd... What other drivers did you install? Does something actually have to be connected to that yellow plug on the VIVO card?
 
you mean the compositve video in thingy? yeah the yellow plug from your counsol or tv or w/e. The only thing right now i can't figure out is how to get sound working too.
 
It won't even work for me... I have the composite connector and everything too. The TV program says I have no video capture device....do you have a tuner card? My card also came with a S-Video to 3 composite connectors, one blue one greenish and one red...go figure. The yellow connector on the VIVO card has something to do with the sound I think. I'm just going to e-mail ATi....
 
My card came with a cable that has video in, but how i can watch tv in my computer, do i need special program
 
well when u said vivo i thoght u meant something else. i read in a magazine that vivo is the name of intels new processor (i think its vivo) its supposed to be like a multimedia processor. wait no nvm its called viiv. here it is. sry bout that
 
YAY!! I got my gamecube to play on my PC. To get audio, you have to have a Y-splitter that connects the Red and White Audio jacks to a headphone connector, then you have to get a cord that looks like two headphone plugs connected by a cord and plug one in into the headphone connector on the Y-slitter and the other end into your "Line In" connector on your sound card. If you needs pics of the connectors I can get some.
 
alright, here are some, this is what the headphone cord looks like. http://media.shiachat.com/tutorials/mm_headphone.jpg
see, it has a headphone plug on each end.

The Y-Splitter looks like this

The red and white audio plugs from the gamecube go into the
small red and white connectors. The large red connector is where you plug one of the above headphone jacks into and the other end of the above headphone jacks go into the "Line In" connector on your sound card.
