NVIDIA Quadro FX 1300

I have some very basic questions. I have NVIDIA Quadro FX 1300 with an
Intel 82801GB LPC motherboard.

My first question is about the interfaces. Besides the 2 outs for the
monitors, what is the 3rd out? 3 pin din or s video?

Also, my old computer's video card had analog and digital ins. How do
I put digital video in the computer besides firewire? I assume that
I'll need an analog-video converter to put analog video in. Do i get a
separate card? Can I (or should I) put my old video card into this
computer as well?

Thanks,

Liz

Nope, it's a stereo out to connect 3D shutter glasses...

Your old gfx card might have had analog in but certainly
no digital input (digital video is usually provided via Firewire and USB
which doesn't reside on gfx cards). And video inputs in general can only
be found with consumer gfx cards (Geforce) and not with professional gfx
boards like a Quadro...

USB? D1? There are several ways and standards for capturing digital
video signals...

yes.

No, there are external converter boxes for USB or Firewire which also
usually provide a better quality than most consumer capturing cards and
especially the video in on consumer gfx cards...

What for?

Thanks. I've worked mostly with sound before and video is basically
new to me.

What are 3D shutter glasses?
