Custom versions can either have
4 x RCA jacks (2 x Audio 2 x Video)
or
2xRCA for Audio and 1x MiniDin for S-Video

The plug in adapter has 3 x RCA jack (Red,White,Yellow) + Minidin so can be
used for Composite or S-Video.

Due to the extra work involved in fitting the alternative sockets there is
an
additional cost of £10 per unit compared to the adapter cost of £6 each.
that
gives a finished price of £50 for the AVS-TXP and £45 for the AVS-RXP (The
P
suffix indicated Phono... the UK name for RCA jacks)

I know there are several but only Extron springs to mind instantly. Good
stuff
but horrendously expensive ( at least over here ).

Hope that helps
