Composite Video Connection
Composite video is a connection type used by most televisions,
VCRs, laserdisc players, and certain LCD panels. The connectors on
a composite video cable have an RCA-type plug. The plug has a long
metal pin projecting from its center and plugs into the composite
video in port at the rear of the television.

To determine if your television supports composite video, look for a
port on your television that matches the composite video out port at
the side of the iTView Mac unit.
Note: The composite video port on the television may or may
not be labeled "video in.” The Video input jack will have
a yellow center.
S-Video Connection
S-Video is a high-quality video connection used by some televisions,
video cameras and VCRs. The connector on an S-Video cable has a
round plug with several small metal pins. It plugs into the S-Video
output port at the side of the iTView Mac unit.
