ATI AIW Radeon 7500

I'm buying a new computer and am thinking of getting a video card that can also capture video. The ATI AIW Radeon 7500 seems to have all the features I need. The video capture part is an adapter that is attached to a wire that plugs into the card. The adaptor has a number if jacks including s-video (which I'll use) and composite. Because these jacks end up attached to the same wire, does the adapture down scale the s-video to the level of composte? This would result in a signal that is less than the s-video signal.


Thanks....

Only if the composite & S-video connections comes from the same component. If you have the TV, for example, on S-video & the VCR on composite it will not degrade the S-video connection on the TV.

Zob, the adaptor I'm talking about is for video capture by the board...
