Using Video In

Capture full motion or still image video

Your new RADEON™ graphics card has Video In (also known as Composite In)
capability for capturing full motion or still image video. Just attach a video
device such as a VCR, camcorder, or laser disk player to the Video In connector
on the back of your new graphic card.

Connecting a Video Device

To connect your computer to a video device such as a VCR, camcorder, or laser
disk player, attach a composite cable from the Composite Output connector on
your VCR, camcorder, or laser disk player to the Video In on your graphic card.
Most video devices such as VCRs, camcorders, and laser disk players have a
Composite Output, also referred to as an RCA output.
