I have a 9800 pro and when you connect the wire in the back it has both a video out and a video in... how do I see what is coming in the video in... what software do I use... I tried searching for answers and only got stuff about the version of the card with the tv tuner... my card doesn't have a tv tuner... I just want to plug in any source (say a cable box) into the S-Video input and then see what's coming in it on my screen. What do I do?
 
I am retty sure the S-video just for things like video cams and the sort, not for cable.
 
I don't have any experience with vivo cards, but I would think it wouldn't really matter what you are pluggin into it, as long as you are using s-video.

Didn't software come on a cd with the card?

Who is your card's manufacturer? Sapphire, powercolor, etc? I would suggest checking with that particular company. They might have video capture software on their websites.
 
Are you sure your card is a VIVO? Without VIVO (Video In Video Out) you only have output options from the S-Video port.
 
How can I tell? There is an adapter for the back that plugs into what looks like a S-Video port but isn't. This adapter Has four wires: RCA Video-in, RCA Video-out, S-Video-in and S-Video-out. When I install the Multimedia Center from ATI it doesn't give me the TV player, I think because I don't have a Tuner. But the TV player also has the option to read from the composite or S-Video input (see previous link). So right now I'm trying to find video software that will read from an S-Video/RCA input (like the TV player in the ATI Media Center does). But I've had no luck...
 
It sounds like you definitely have a vivo card. I might contact Powercolor's tech support to see what they suggest, if I were you.


Good luck.
