Need cable for 7 pin S Video to Componet or composite
hi all,
My laptop has got S video output with a 7 pin point. But my TV supports only composite and component inputs. Will I get a cable which does conversion from 7 pin S video to composite or compnent? Thanks in advance. |

@anoopdotk, a 4 pin S-video to RCA cable will also work equally good as a 7 pin S-Video to RCA cable.

Re: Need cable for 7 pin S Video to Componet or composite
Thank you krauss and mod-the-pc. I think option given by krauss will be better since it is component.
I hope this is the one 7 PIN SVIDEO to 3 RCA CABLE - Laptop to TV Connector Cable gifts in india at rediff shopping. My TV doesn't support Progressive Scan. Is it OK if i use this cable? |

Re: Need cable for 7 pin S Video to Componet or composite
Could you please advise which cable to use when the TV takes only composite inputs. Using one of the RCA connectors on the 3RCA, I can get the picture only in black and white. I presume I'll need to get the component video converted to composite...or get another appropriate cable.
Thanks. |

Re: Need cable for 7 pin S Video to Componet or composite
@anoopdotk, this cable would give you better clarity than the S-video to composite able. Go for it.
@ManiJ, if your TV takes just composite input stick to a S-video to Composite (single RCA) connector. Plugging in just one RCA pin of a component cable will not work since the color and brightness information are carried separately |

I am surprised you are getting Black & White. Even with Composite, you should get colour. Can you elaborate a bit more - what are your components, and what is your connection methodology? Cheers |

Re: Need cable for 7 pin S Video to Componet or composite
I don't think you would get colours when you plugin the luminance pin of a component cable into a composite video input. It would be just greyscale.

Re: Need cable for 7 pin S Video to Componet or composite
Thanks Venkat and mod,
My regular TV only has a normal RF/Antenna in along with 'composite in' connections. I am aware that I would normally need to get a S-Video to composite cable. However have not been able to get it in the market (SP Road, Bangalore). Have tried multiple times with different electronic/cable dealers - they all seem to believe that the standard way to connect from laptop is the S-Video to 3RCA cable....and arent aware of a S-Video to composite cable. (I guess even if such a cable is available, it is not very popular as the regular electronic stores do not know about it)....Previously I did not have a AV receiver....and did not want to buy too many unnecessary adapters too (I saw those that converted from S-Video to TV RF out were about 2K). I recently got my Denon 1909 receiver....I guess I could give the component video input into the receiver and get a composite out from it. Thanks much again or responding to my query.
