My two thoughts are that it is either an OEM card and that would be for RCA and S-Video on the front panel of the case, or else the Ti 4200 has capture capabilities and the connector allows audio to pass through to the sound card. I am more inclined to think the former is likely (front panel connector).

I am only guessing however. Chances are you can ignore the connector and use the card without it, as for testing out its function... No idea.

Edit: FrontX used to have an S-Video option which looked like that;

Packard Bell brought video to the front panel through the same connector;

Though the one on the other end seems to differ. It does certainly make that look like the most likely solution (S-Video/Composite In or Out).

Thanks.
Yeah. Most likely a tv/video/grabber something connector. I came across the mention of such technology, in the search of a GF4 card
with a power connector on it.
No mention of any such card that requires power and only mentioning of a MX card wich "comes without powerconnector", someone wrote.
So I guess that this is by no chance a power connector at all? 😀

Regarding that encoding stuff and video-in-framegrabbing-stuff. This is just something I probably will not use at all.
Perhaps I will. If I desire to do it. I just don't see any need for such technology at the moment.

There is no chance it is power whatsoever. Even the Ti 4800 did not need a power connector, so the smaller Ti 4200 certainly will not need one. So yes, if you do not intend to use those features, ignore the connector entirely because you won't need it, the card should run as intended otherwise.

True that. 😀
I allmost knew the answer in advance. Yet I had to check, in order not to do something completely stupid.
And make an arse out of me self.

Does the card have DVI-out? I vaguely understand that in some cases audio can be carried along with the video data.

There are two vga headers on the card, a s-vhs and a composit. No DVI-Out.

It looks like an audio input, but that only makes sense if there's somewhere for the audio to go out the back.

At first I thought the connector at top was audio, but you've said it's a composite video. Is that certain, or could it be an audio jack?
Is that Mini-DIN connector only 4 pins, or does it have more? If it has more pins, it's possible some of them are audio.

Some laptops in the past has sound line out embedded into their VGA out connector, and came with some special VGA to RCA (Audio + Video) breakout cables. If this card has the same feature, this might be the sound input (looks like the proper connector for this).

My medion geforce 3 ti 200 also has the same connector,it's some kind of video connector,connects to a box in front of the medion case.

Almost certainly the case here. Just ignore it, or try to get the original media bay (might be easier and cheaper to get a complete system though...).

It's definitely NOT a power connector.

Thanks all.
Yeah. I remember those blue medion cases.
Allways wondered how they made that video-in without a tv-card.
