Connecting video equipment If you want to see video on your computer from a VCR, laserdisc player, video camera, or other video equipment, you need to connect the equipment to the ports on the video input card. You can connect one piece of equipment to the S-video port or one piece to the composite video port on the video input card.
Determining which video connector you need Check the Video Out port or ports on your video equipment. A Video Out port should look like one of the ports pictured below. (You may have both ports.) To connect to a composite Video Out port, use a composite (RCA plug) connector.
Connecting video equipment if you use a composite (RCA plug) connector To connect your video equipment you need one video cable and two audio cables, all with RCA plugs at both ends. The cables can be separate or joined. You can purchase cables at electronics supply stores.
1 Make sure that both the Macintosh and the video equipment are turned off. 2 Attach one end of the video cable to the Video Out port on the video equipment. 3 Plug the other end of the video cable into the yellow composite video input port on the video input card.
The video input card ports are exactly the same on a computer with a built-in monitor, and the card itself is in about the same position on the back of the unit as in the illustration below of a computer without a built-in monitor. Your video equipment is now connected to the video input card.
Connecting video equipment if you use an S-video connector To connect your video equipment you need one video cable with S-video connectors on both ends and two audio cables with RCA plugs at both ends. The RCA cables can be separate or joined. You can purchase cables at electronics supply stores.
1 Make sure that both the Macintosh and the video equipment are turned off. 2 Attach one end of the video cable to the Video Out port on the video equipment. 3 Plug the other end of the video cable into the S-video input port on the video input card. About the S-video port: The S-video port accepts 4-pin and 7-pin connectors.
5 Insert the RCA plugs on the other end of the audio cables into the left (white) and right (red) sound input ports on the video input card. If you’re using a Y-adapter audio cable: Plug the double end of the cable (where it forms a Y) into the right and left sound input ports on the video input card.
