Hello I am currently try to to connect this 6 pin female connector to a Capture card ([Amazon.ca](https://www.amazon.ca/Elgato-Video-Capture-analog-iPhone/dp/B0029U2YSA?th=1)) which contains 4 pins. Is there a cable that does this ? ![Image (5)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/8/e/8ec4e0ec21f4c923dac73641d13aea0ffdc32033.jpeg) ---

@achertov I am not seeing that we currently list an option that would do that conversion. If you are able to find enough information to know the connections each side has you can build your own cable to do the conversion. The below link shows the 4 and 6 mini-din connectors we do list. > **[Connectors, Interconnects | Circular Connectors | Circular Connector...](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/circular-connectors/circular-connector-assemblies/436?s=N4IgjCBcoGwJxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDaIAzACxwBMdIAuoQA4AuUIAymwE4CWAOwDmIAL6EAHJMQgUkDDgLEyIWjQDsFAAwhCtbRTAwNTVh0jc%2BQ0RLVgArLPmK8hEpHIUND6aeYg7Jw8AiLihGBwkgjQcmhYbiqeILqMYulAA)** > > Circular Connectors Circular Connector Assemblies are in stock at DigiKey.

What device is exporting video (source) over your (Mini-DIN-6) cable? wonder if it’s a custom cable? Regards, ---

Looks like they also chain power over the 6-pin.. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/b/0/b086ffc2a8d4b24802dd4716e11ab45a3792fc06.jpeg) S-video is 4 pins, GND Y, GND C, Y and C… [S-Video - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video#9-pin_Video_In/Video_Out) You’ll need to check the pins on your Mini-DIN-6, to see if you can grab those 4.. A big warning on this connector: `Again, there is no standardization between manufacturers as to which pin does what, and there are two known variants of the connector in use.` Regards, ---
