370783 2005-07-09 17:22:00 I have a Ati 9800Se

It has video output and i can plug it to the tv but the problem is I've never seen such kind of video output hole before

The hole is black and theres 3pins at the top 4 pins in the middle and 3 pins at the bottum..

Any idea what it is?

Doesn't the card manual tell you?

370788 2005-07-09 22:14:00 Usually those multiple pin "s-video like" plugs are specially wired for the special conversion cable that comes with the card, which has "RCA video out" and "S-Video Video out" sockets on it. A short adapter cord with multiple plugs on it. godfather (25)
370789 2005-07-10 04:39:00 The manual states its video out which clearly is not Ninjabear (2948)
370790 2005-07-10 05:32:00 It looks very much like the port that I have on my TV capture card. A plug like the one on this page (hardware.earthweb.com) goes in it, ie the one that has four other plugs on the end of it. FoxyMX (5)

There's nothing new. ;)

In the early days when it was necessary to have a number of terminals on a single computer (often an Intel 386 when the computer was a PC and the company was rich), such cables were fairly common. The PC only allowed a couple or derial terminals easily, so there were multiport serial interface cards which used only one interrupt. You may have noticed that there's not enough room for even 2 DB25's on a PC backplate. So there would be a DB50, and a cable split out at the other end for 8 DB25s.

Those cables were called "octopus" cables, for the obvious reason. Maybe someone's been pulling the legs off to make video cables. ;)
