Hi,
I've had this adapter in my leads box for years, but have no idea what use it is. The three phono plugs are labelled video, left and right, other end is a female 6-pin DIN socket. any suggestions please?
Thanks,
John

You're right, it's a old video adapter cable. Probably of no use these days.
The more common one here had a triple RCA at both ends, with the same colors.
European equipment of that era may have had DIN plugs instead of RCAs.

It looks like an S-VHS to composite video and stereo audio cable to me, but I may be mistaken about the S-VHS side.
When I lived in Europe I had a cable set with a multi-pin DIN in each end and a handful of adapters like the one you show and also with SCART plugs. The kit was useful back in the days of analog video.

I think you're thinking of S-video. That used a mini-DIN connector rather than the larger one shown here.

Hi,
Tom appears to be correct! I've been told the same by someone else that this lead was part of an AV video adapter kit, which would have have a bunch of different short adapters that you paired up to make the lead required. Sadly I just have this orphan lead without its partner so it is fairly useless. So any takers (in the UK) welcome!
