Thats ambiguous, all you really needed to do was correct my syntax and change S-Video to RCA "Convertor" to "Adapter". Thanks for muddying the waters.
That's not it. There are Convertors and there are Adapters and which you need depends on the capability of the card. If the card only does S-Video then you need a Convertor. This changes S-Video to Composite. Some equipment however puts out EITHER S-Video OR Composite on the same connector and auto switches between them somehow. In the later case all you need is a connection adapter. Which is what I said originally.
Apologies to Jake for my tardy use of incorrect Jargon

Thats Defo S-Video
If you have an S-Video input on your TV you can go direct with an S-Video Cable
if not you will need the following items, available at somewhere like Maplin.
Not necessarily. I don't about this card but some Apple video cards with NTSC/PAL capability only have S-video connectors but can also output / input composite video on the same connector. They came with short adapter cables that provide an RCA connection. These are not S-Video to composite adapters, just connection adapters.
S-Video to SCART
So you need a S-Video to RCA convertor like this

then you would purchase a single Male ended RCA like this

and a SCART to RCA Adapter like this
