Primary then close the program by clicking on the X .
The Primary program simply makes a setting in the Windows Registry
that tells the WinTV application to always use the Primary mode of oper-
ation. This can be changed at any time to "Allow Overlay" by re-running
Primary and clicking
Allow Overlay .
When using Primary Surface mode, you will not be
able to view live Closed Caption data overlaid on your
TV Window.
Connecting the WinTV board to a VCR, Video
Camera or Camcorder
Most VCR’s or camcorders have a female RCA jack labeled “Video
Out”. Most also have a jack labeled “Audio Out”. Most video cameras
simply have one output connection labeled "Video Out".
To connect the video to the WinTV board, use shielded video cables
(not supplied) with male RCA connectors on both ends:
- connect from the “Video Out” jack on your video camera, VCR
or camcorder to the Composite Video input jack on the
WinTV board.
Note:
Some WinTV models have a yellow RCA jack on the back
panel bracket. Others have a high-quality S-Video input jack, which
requires a supplied S-Video to Composite video adapter to connect
to your camcorder.
To connect the audio from your VCR or camcorder to the WinTV, use a
1/8” stereo minijack extension cable (1/8” male minijacks on each end)
and:
- connect the “Audio Output” 1/8” minijack on the VCR or camcorder
to the
Audio LineIn jack on the WinTV board.
Note:
Some camcorders use RCA connectors instead of 1/8” mini-
jacks to connect the audio. If so, you will need an female RCA to
1/8” minijack adapter. These adapters can be found at most Radio
Shack stores.
