Using the S-Video-out jack The 7-pin S-Video-out jack connects the computer to an optional S-Video device such as a television, VCR, camcorder, overhead projector, or video capture card.

Connect the other end of the cable to the video device, as instructed in the documentation included with the device. 3.
