ATI AIW 2006 PCIE -- do I need the breakout box?

[robjv1]

I recently purchased the AIW 2006 and it came with everything but the remote and the breakout box. Do I need to track a breakout box down or is there a cable that would suffice? It is an NTSC card.

It appears that this particular model has an 8 pin input (purple) and a 10 pin output (black)

Edit: Here are some photos of the pins for each:

Thanks much!

In theory you could build your own (Usenet: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.laptops/browse_thread/thread/3bfb000f56f99a60/...1436c529abf492). Otherwise, buy it.

Yep, it's a custom device. $20 or so last time I looked, if you can't find one let me know as I have 3 or 4 sets of these.

^ I'm not having much luck. I've found a few sites (like svideo.com) that sell the input/output cables, but not all of the pins match up -- this looks to be the right cable http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/videoware_2166_3044379 -- but the top row of pins don't match the top row of pins on the dongle.

Send me a PM, I'd happily buy a set off of you if you know they'll work with those pinouts and the AIW 2006.

That's the output cable. The ATI breakout box looks like this:


Their VIVO cards do use a cable similar to that instead of a breakout box for inputs.

Search eBay for "ati purple"
This is the input bundle and is required.

You don't need the output bundle.

LS - is this about right?
