Video-In
Before the WINNER 2000/Office can react, the signals must be clear. It is of no use if you
try to connect the antenna to the WINNER 2000/Office . The antenna’s HF signal trans-
mits information for several channels, and not a simple, unambiguous video signal as
required by the
WINNER 2000/Office . If you wish to display a TV picture on your monitor,
then you cannot simply take the antenna-output of your video recorder. Instead, the video
recorder’s Scart connector must be connected with the composite input of the
WINNER
2000/Office .
Video-Out
Unlike a computer monitor, a television set is not able to process the VGA signal from a
graphics board. Comparing the 15-pin output for the monitor with a coaxial antenna cable
makes it immediately clear that the signals are handled in fundamentally different ways.
The
WINNER 2000/Office is equipped with its own translator, a chip which converts VGA
signals for the television. This signal can of course be used by other devices such as pro-
jectors with a video input or a video camera.
Input and Output Connectors of the WINNER 2000/
Office
After getting a general overview in the previous section, we will now describe in detail
the input and output connectors on the
WINNER 2000/Office . If, for example, you wish
to connect an older video camera and you have trouble finding a suitable adapter, then
the description of the pin assignment for various connectors in the appendix of this man-
ual may be of use to you.
