Technical information

Connecting the equipment to the computer
1 Attach one end of the video cable to the Video Out port on the video equipment.
Follow the directions that came with the VCR or camcorder.
2 Plug the other end of the video cable (or adapter cable) into the S-video input port (æ) on the
computer.
If the connector doesn’t slide easily into the port, check the pin alignment and try again. Don’t use
force, which could damage the computer or cable.
Important The S-video connector is a round plug with several small metal pins, which resembles
other Macintosh connectors, such as those for a printer, modem, mouse, or keyboard. Don’t confuse
the connectors; they’re not interchangeable.
