Hi there,
I have an ATI PCI-E graphics card that I need to use for VHS video capture.
The problem is that this card has a non-standard 32pin input/output breakout
socket, and I don't have the original breakout cable. Original cable
is rare to find and unreasonably expensive, and there is no pinout posted on the web.
Of those 32 pins, there is vga out, s-video in/out, maybe also audio in/out.
I just need to figure out which 4 pins out of those 32 is S-VIDEO-IN
(luma, chroma and two grounds; all the pins pierce through the PCB and fully
visible on the backside). I could then remove that [mildly offensive word removed] socket with a heat gun and install a nice s-video-in socket.
How do I do that with a multimeter without frying the card? How would you go about this?
Any help would be much appreciated..
