The Intensity Pro requires a breakout cable, pictured below.
Figure: Breakout Cable Component, Composite and S-Video (Volicon)¶
The breakout cable includes Component video leads (R, G, B connectors), Composite leads (G, B connectors), audio (R, W) and the S-Video cable. For Composite video the blue and green leads are shared with the Component video, since the card is configured only for one of the two video modes at a time. See details in the table below:
