Introduction

ViVO is an acronym for "Video In Video Out". Featured on some video cards, such as the Nvidia GeForce range and the ATI Radeon series. It enables the card to have bidirectional video transfer (input and output) through one connector, by using a specialised splitter cable. ViVO can receive input from RCA or S-Video sources, and typically moves output over RCA, less commonly over S-Video. However, at this time, S-Video is more widely used for VIVO by both Nvidia and ATI.

Some ViVO cables also support the output of component Luminance, and 2x Chromiance, enabling HDTV support. However as this connection is not digital it does not support HDCP which would be required for official HDTV support as set out by the EICTA.
