can i use the Composite in on my PC as a pass through?

[troy1960]

so someone gave me this old P4 HT workstation and apparently it has a GeForce 6610XL in it that can output to scart, svideo and component, and of course VGA and DVI. Great. But one thing i noticed is that on the front panel theres Composite Video and Left and right audio INPUTS. So, i googled a while and they told me to plug something in it; preferrably my old PS2. So i did that. Then i had to download and install Dscaler. So i did. and it didn't work. So my question is: how do i use that composite in? My PC is a Medion PC MT6 MED MT 314. Pentium 4 HT, GeForce 6610XL. Windows 7 home premium. that thing would definately not run win10 by the way. That's why it's got win7.

Help would be much appreciated.

You'd need some kind of software to read the input.
That thing on the front panel was likely used to connect a VCR/VHS player and convert them to digital video files.
Or maybe connecting a security cam system or something to it.

Eitherway, you'd need whatever software that hardware uses.

K den. I'll try Dscaler and VirtualVCR. Found them on google.
