what kind of port is this-radeon 9700 AIW

[zily]

Hi,

I got a radeon 9700 all in wonder, and naturally I would like to use the video input.

There is a port/jack/whatever labeled CATV, which I can only assume means Cable Tv(?). However, it is not a coaxial cable we are all so used to. It looks very different and was wondering if anyone knew how to hook up cable to it, or at least know what this is.

I've attached a picture of it.

Thanks guys,
-Daniel

Have you tried hooking up a cable to it? it almost looks like it would fit, and it should.

well this is what i find by using google,, it looks like you need to use a cable box,. then a catv cable goes from the box to the catv socket on your card,.

im just guessing... but that socket looks more like this kind of coaxial cable...http://www.cablewholesale.com/specs/30x3-03120.htm

I actually beleive it's another type of input(out of the states) but is easilly converted to standard coax. Radioshack has the converter.

Yeah, I think i saw that same plug on a korean website as their standard cable connecter. I'll check out radioshack.

if anyone else has any ideas, let me know,

thanks

I know that's what it is because I have a capture card that required the same plug

Yeah, looks to be coaxial, I would just use the S-Video and a converter to RCA video. For my TV, I most of the time use the S-Video and component video converter and plugs. If I had a vid card with HDMI, I would use that.
