Editing 3 pin Mini-DIN connector (section)

== Sourcing components ==
The original VESA standard made use of the 3-pin Mini-DIN connector to interface with hardware stereo, and the 3D Vision receiver converts that signal into a 2.5mm audio form factor. Both of these connectors can be purchased individually from electronics stores. 
* The Mini-DIN connector can be found online at a number of parts suppliers; a male configuration is required for interfacing with the graphics cards. Some examples of sources are [http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=6588 here] and [http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CUI-Inc/MD-30/?qs=WyjlAZoYn50LKaaWkCeT5Q%3d%3d here.]
* For the stereo jack, the easiest method is to purchase a 3-conductor stereo cable in the 2.5mm male-to-male configuration. The number of conductors refers to the number of plastic rings separating the metal parts of the tip. Some examples can be found [http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=37_54&products_id=7393 here] and here [http://amzn.com/B00291F4RM at amazon.]

The 2.5mm stereo cable should be fairly easy to find, and only one side needs to be the correct configuration. Note the 2.5mm port often comes in a 4-conductor configuration (3 plastic rings), as it often connects a microphone in addition to the stereo signal. This configuration has not been tested and is not recommended as it will have an additional wire connection that may prevent proper signal transfer. After you source the cable, cut off one of the ends of the cable and strip back the insulation so that you expose what should be a red wire, a white wire, and the braided shielding for ground.
