Installing Video Cards With VIVO

If your video card features VIVO (Video In, Video Out), all you have to do is to install an adapter on the video card’s mini-DIN connector to use this function. You can see if your video card has VIVO function by reading its manual or simply by checking if it came with a VIVO adapter or not.

As you can see, the VIVO adapter has more cables than the standard video capture board adapter. This happens because VIVO function, as the name implies, also feature video outputs, feature usually not present on standard video capture boards.

On Figure 13 we show the VIVO connectors. In this particular model the composite video input uses an orange connector, and not a yellow one.

If you pay attention, you will notice that the VIVO function doesn’t provide audio inputs, differently from what happens with standard video capture cards. In this case the audio output from the VCR must be installed on the “line in” input from the motherboard (or sound card, if you use an add-on sound card).
