Dual planar Stingray bracket
28.09.05 at 14:20:17

This thing is bothering me for quite some time now:
I have this hercules dual planar rush and there is an empty hole on the bracket overooking some pads for a 3 pin connector, and it's sure not for an ordinary mini din 3d glasses output, the hole is too small for that and the pads on the pcb are placed differntly as the ordinary mini din for pcb.
Also is clearly visible that all this 3 pads lead through 3 resistors into a chip (that is also not mounted)

Here are some pics, and if you have seen somewhere something similar to a connector that could fit there or any chip of that dimensions leading to any 3 pin gonnector let me know.

My Hercules card has S/Video out and Composit out. I also have the 3 pin connector. 2 Composit connectors on one board would not be logical

That's the composite

...

again form bottom(thandor's card): dsub,svideo,composite,missing stereo

The photo of the card as i see has been taken by an anche that the composite covers the view to the 3rd pad of the stereo, the pads in this case are big and put in a row
Wich is quite different from my triangulary placed pads

Humm well no need to, It is quite clear on my photos, the mini din connectors such as the one of the stereo and the cinch of the composite are huge comparing the pads on my pcb
