of the VCR. This configuration results in lower
picture quality. If you normally do not connect
the VCR to the TV through the antenna socket,
then you must first program the video recorder
channel in your television.)
(8) Ethernet
This port is an interface for exchanging data with
other devices (e.g. computers), but at the time this
manual was printed it is not yet supported by the
software. There are two lights next to this port.
One of these lights is permanently lit red.
(9) S-Video OUT (YC)
You can connect VCR (Hi8, SVHS, or MiniDV)
to this port to output to tape once your project is
completed. If your video recorder supports a YC
(S-video) signal, then you should use this as your
output, because YC (S-video) is superior to CVBS
(RCA).
(10) S-Video IN (YC)
You can use this input instead of the front input
in order to connect your Hi8, SVHS, or MiniDV
camera. Ideally, MiniDV should input via the DV
port, however, the YC (S-video) port may occasi-
onally be used if the footage needs to be corrected
with the
Brightness, Contrast and Saturation
controls in the Video Settings screen, (see section
5.3: Video Settings ).
(11) Video OUT ( RCA)
Here you can connect a VHS vcr, Video8 recorder
or TV.
(12) Video IN (RCA)
You can use this input to connect your VHS or
Video8 input device as an alternative to the front
inputs.
(13) L/R Audio OUT (RCA)
The audio outputs are here, and should be used to
output to your VCR or TV.
(14) L/R Audio IN (RCA)
These audio inputs can be used instead of the
front inputs.
(15) DV (IN/OUT)
This " DV " port can be used instead of the front
input and output to connect your MiniDV/
DV recorder or your camera. The Prestige will
automatically detect which DV input you are
using. (It is recommended that you have only one
DV device hooked up at any given time.)
(16) 3 USB
One of the three USB ports should be used to
connect the trackball. The other two can be used
for other options (e.g.
Twister, PC-Link, Power-
Key Option , etc.). For users wishing to connect
more than 3 USB devices, we offer a quadruple
HUB. The HUB is a distributor supplied with a
support (for horizontal mounting), a USB con-
necting cable (length 1.5 meters), and an AC
adapter.
(17) VGA
You can use the VGA port to connect a computer
monitor in addition to your TV monitor. In this
way you can view the menus on the computer
screen and see your video footage without
overlapping menus on the TV screen (see
Chapter
6 "VGA Mode"
).
Important note: Never disconnect cables from
Casablanca Prestige while the machine is on. Al-
ways turn off the machine before you disconnect/
reconnect cables!
2.4 Installing the OS software
When starting,
Casablanca Prestige reads the OS
program from the hard drive.
It is possible that the supplied
Casablanca Pres-
tige OSversion on the SmartMedia card is more
recent than the version already installed by your
dealer (or at the factory). Press the button on the
front side of the machine to turn it on. The Main
menu appears after a greeting message and you
can compare the version number on the Smart-
Media card with the number displayed in the
System Settings screen. If the version number of
the SmartMedia card is higher, then you should
install the more recent version.
The SmartMedia card is very sensitive so please
avoid bending it or touching the gold contacts
