Yup - ferrite bead. This will work fine for a remote control.

Hi caveman.  I checked into the IXUS 105, and the cable supplied with it is the "AVC-DC400" not the "AVC-DC400ST".  I do not know the difference in the cable pinouts, but the cables are not the same (one has stereo, the other does not).  If the pins for video are the same, the "green" plug should be video (and should be yellow), and ideally, one or the other audio plug (red or white), will match the pin for audio.  The only black connector is the USB, except with the "AVC-DC400", where there is one video connector, and one mono audio connector (which is also black)..

If you plug the usb of the cable into your camera, the LCD should blank, and video/audio will be output to a TV, VCR, etc.. If this does not work, the cable must not have the same pin configuration.

Does any part of this work for you?

yup, you are correct..Achillies, the cable is avc-dc400..today,i've been look inside at the avc-dc400 and what I see is that cable is using 6 pin. but i can't see the configuration of the cable. too much glue at the head of cable..I can use the SDM  with my remote shutter running good, I made it my self with 4 cables ( red,green,white, and black)... with 4 cables i've been trying to configure each cable one by one to connect with a/v cable. but still no picture on my video..I'm using A series USB Connector for the remote shutter... what's wrong with my cable ? Should I change the cable with 6 cable like AVCDC400 ?, perhaps you could help me to configure this cables..

I edited that message, because I incorrectly stated info about the standard USB pins, which are not present in the Canon AVC-DC400ST video cable.

So if you would like simultaneous video out as well as USB you must get a different cable or USB connector.

@caveman -  The scenario in your JPG should work just fine.  You will take care of the pin differences (mono vs stereo) I'm sure.
