Why won't my Hauppauge capture card pick up S-VIDEO in colour?

[lagger]

Hello,

I purchased a Hauppauge ImpactVCB-e and installed PCI Express on my Dell XPS 8300 to capture from Panasonic NV-HD675B VCR.

VCR has 2 SCARTS and audio out only on the machine

Capture card has 1 S-VIDEO and COMPOSITE yellow along with audio 3.5 jack


So I have a Belkin SCART adaptor, with a good quality S-VIDEO cable connected from the VCR to the Hauppauge S-VIDEO slot.

Sadly, despite drivers reinstalled (which show fine in Device Manager) 4 different (and brand new) S-VIDEO cables of varying price and a different adaptor, the S-VIDEO always outputs black and white via capture software (tried Hauppage Capture and VirtualDub2)

It does however play in full colour via SCART to SCART on the TV (connected with a SCART to S-VIDEO cable plugged in to the adaptor in the back of the VCR).

Why is the PC and capture card not picking up colour?

There picture is slighty lined and noisy during playback, fairly clear, but always black and white.

Help appreciated.

(Using Windows 11 on 3.4Ghz i7 XPS 8300)
