S Video to Coax Adapter?

[Shermanator]

My video card has S Video out, but my old crappy TV only has coax input. Is there any adapter i could get for this? I guess I might be able to find a VCR with a S Video in, but I'd rather not.

Does anyone know if this exists?

I have no idea. Try searching on google. If they don't sell such adapters, you can buy a s-video -> rca composite adapter, then hook that up to an rf modulator.

I have no idea how to do that but i think you posted in the wrong forum.

might want to post video stuff in the video forum....

you could get an svideo to rca cable i believe, and then use a vcr or rf modulator to hook it up to coax then to TV

You can go from s-video to RCA to coax. They do make some RCA to coax adapters, I believe.

 

[Squisher]

ArmenK is correct, you need an rf modulator in there.

i dont know if that would work, im not sure but i dont think the signal would work that way

Why wouldn't it? He's just sending video. As long as he doesn't want to send audio and video to the TV, he shouldn't have a problem.

I've seen these used before and it should work just fine...and for $1.79 to me it'd be worth a shot.

My GeForce 2 came with an S Video to RCA adapter and I just run that through my VCR.......

i had the same problem trying to hook my lappy up to my tv.
the guy at radio shack said that there's no way to go from svideo to coax.

needless to say, I still tried a bunch of different combinations of adapters/vcr and such, but to no avail, not even the just the video.

However, that was a while ago, so maybe they've figured something out by now.

this would be interesting to find out . . .
hmm
cuz i too have an ancient TV and will soon have S-Video out on my card. . .
i think i'll have to use a VCR with an S-Video to RCA adapter. . .
