TV-out cable w/ SPDIF - what is it ?

I can see that I get an option to choose this adaptor/connector while configuring my laptop.... Is it the connector given here ?

I would be glad if someone who had ordered for this cable can confirm it.... TIA...

 

Hmm sorry to bump but would be glad if anyone could clarify this ?

 

the S-video port on the back also is the SPDIF port when used with that adaptor. And yea, t hat looks like the adaptor thing they use. I dont have one personally, but ive seen what it looks like.

 

These Dell cables are unavailable for order with the machine in Australasia.

Those connectors look like the ones that fit on machines like my old M1210. The plug into the S-Video output. My M1330 hasn't arrived yet, but a look at the manual tells me that it does not have a s-video out so this plug would seem unsuitable for you.

 

No they will fit on the 1520 since it has a 7-pin Svideo out (I saw in the manual).....

 

And sorry to bump but what is the difference between these two :

TV-out cable w/ SPDIF
Composite SPDIF Cable

The second one is costly than the first one though :|

 

(Based on my M1210 experience)

The TV-out has a S-video and Composite Video out as well as coax S/PDIF audio. This will suit most older style televisions, and low end projectors.

The Component dongle has component outputs Pr Pb Y and coax S/PDIF. This will suit higher end televisions and projectors.

My advice is to splash out and get both - they are not listed in this country as accessories so may be hard to come by if you change your mind later. If you must get only one, get the component if it will work with your kit, the quality is miles better than s-video.

I often used both - the component for home with my LCD screen, and the s-video when on the road with the crappy portable projector.

 

Dude it is not component but it says Composite SPDIF cable.... I know what component out is since I am working in the Set Top Box Division at my company

 

well you might work in the "set top box division"...but it IS component.

The COMPONENT DONGLE mentioned has Pr (red), Pb (blue) and Y (green) connections.

 

Dude you are still getting me wrong... I work with those Component cables every day at my company and know what Component out is and I also know there exists a S-Video Out to Component out along with SPDIF but look at my post 4 posts above this one..... I has asked what was the difference between TV/out cable w/SPDIF and Composite(not Component) SPDIF cable... It says Composite SPDIF cable at the place where I get to configure my laptop.....

 

Dude, have you taken a look at the user manual? Pretty good description of the cable options as well as drawings...
1520 user manuals: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1520/

 

I have looked at the user manuals dude and I know there exists both a Svideo to Composite and SVideo to Component adapter cables..... But in my config page for laptop I get these options only :

TV-out cable w/ SPDIF
Composite SPDIF Cable

I saw on one website that the first cable here indeed provides a Composite Out along with SPDIF.... Then what does the second cable do ? Or was the info on the other site wrong and only Component out is provided by the first cable ?

And tomcatTX if you do not know the difference leave it - as this thread is nearly 10 days or so old and I stopped caring regarding this issue after I got no reply for a long time....

 

As spelled out in the manual...there are two cables. One that adapts to composite...the other is for connection to component.
