ATI TV Wonder 600 USB: AV cable connection type?

[ThumperStrauss]

What the is the AV cable connection type on the side of the ATI 600 USB? See photo.

I have an AV cable (S-Video, yellow, white, red) with a Mini-B USB end in another Hauppauge stick that I would like to cannibalize for use with ATI 600, as I don't have the ATI 600 cable. So, I'm wondering if there is an adapter that converts whatever that USB connection is called on ATI 600 with Mini-B USB.

I too recently acquired an ATI 600 USB missing the AV cable, so I’m giving this thread a bump.

Same situation here. I guess these cables are hard to come by?

Yes, hard to come by.
However, anybody needing one should contact me.

I have a couple of different brands of Empia 286X based USB converters using this same connector. The cables were not compatible with each other so I suspect this is not a generic cable.

Correct, nope, it is not the same. Many of these cables "look" the same, but are not the same. Even the ATI "clones" have different cables (as the "clones" are near clones, not 1:1 identical, hence the " " when I reference these as "clones"). All look the same, but are not the same. Each brand did their own thing, and the communication varies based on bridge/chip factors.

However, I have a cache of cables. It's not a bottomless pit, but enough to make several cable-less owners happy. Just realize these are not cheap, and will probably cost you more than the cable-less bare stick did. But that's why the bare stick is cheap -- it's essentially worthless without the cables. Overall, it'll still be a good discount vs. buying the complete card.

More and more, I also find that the OEM ATI USB extender needs to be trashed. Too flexible, too bent because of how it was initially (badly) packed in the box. I have better USB extenders now, but again only a small cache.

Hey new user here and I've done a lot of digging and as far as I've been able to find, I need to come here if I get lost with this. I recently got an ati tvw 600 which, as others above have also mentioned they didn't have the rca cable. I know this is my first post here and I just registered but if there is one avaliable for me to buy I'd love to. I've been wanting to get into working with old VHS on my computer video projects for years and just the other day I finally decided to get properly started and this is my first roadblock.

Sorry for digging up this thread if it's been dead too long but it seemed appropriate to ask about the cable here where it's been asked before. I didn't think it would be right to start a new thread.

Welcome.

You did fine with posting, bumping.

Anybody needing this cable should always contact me. I try to maintain a stash, both for myself and others.

At times, I'd even resold my personal own cables, to help others. But I'd eventually get more again.

FYI, the "trick" to acquiring more is time. It can be years between locating certain video items online. But I have patience for it, because I have enough gear for myself, and backups of backups. Others rarely have that luxury. For example, you already waited years, you certainty don't want to wait more. This is part of why people buy my vetted gear, not try to find it on their own. For many items, it's just not a fast process. I'm the shortcut, the "easy button". I'll get you/others up and capturing in no time.
