Connecting
Your device is equipped with the following
connections:
(1) Power connection
Here you connect the machine to the power line
(220-240 V in most parts of Europe, 115 V in North
America). Connect the supplied power cable to the
power plug on the rear side of the machine and
then connect the other end to the power outlet.
Never turn off the machine by pulling the power
cable from the electrical outlet or by cutting power
between the machine and the outlet. Always use
the switch on the front side of the system, or use
the “Off” button in the Main Menu screen, or data
may be lost.
(2) VGA
You can use the VGA port to connect a computer
monitor in addition or alternatively to your TV
monitor. (see Chapter 5 in the Bogart SE manual).
The first time you use Bogart SE, make sure to
connect your TV Set using S-Video or CVBS –
setting up VGA can only be achieved once Bogart
SE is up and running.
(3) DV (IN/OUT)
This „DV“ connection serves as input and output
for MiniDV/DV decks, cameras and other equip-
ment with DV connectability, such as PC systems
with firewire cards, and offers optimum quality. Be
sure that only one DV device is connected at any
time, or errors may occur.
(4) USB (4x)
This USB ports should be used for the included
trackball, the other USB ports can be used for fur-
ther hardware options (e.g. PowerKey Option, etc.).
(5) Ethernet
This port is an interface for exchanging data with
other devices (e.g. computers).
(6) DVI
The DVI output serves as a fully digital conenc-
tion to the monitor. You can find more informaiton
about this in chapter 6 of the Bogart SE manual.
(6A) HDMI
The HDMI output serves as a fully digital connec-
tion (including audio) to the monitor. This output is
not yet supported.
(6B) DVI-I
In addition to the digital signal, the DVI-I output is
also capable of delivering analogue signals for VGA
monitors. In this case, you must change the soft-
ware setting for the screen mode to VGA. In order
to use a VGA monitor, you must connect via a DVI-
VGA adapter.
(7) S/PDIF OUT (optical)
The optical S/PDIF output is used to connect with a
digital audio receiver.
(8) High Quality Audio IN/OUT
This connection consists of both, a left (white) and
right (red) High Quality audio in and output. Special
wiring and construction is used to reach higher qua-
lity (for instance higher signal-to-noise ratio).
(9) Video/TV Monitor RGB (Europe only)
(The following information is not applicable in North
America.)
Connect your TV monitor to this SCART port. For
televisions supporting RGB in addition to CVBS,
the user interface appears very sharp. Be sure to
choose the correct AV input on your television. (If
your TV does not have a SCART port, then con-
nect it through the CVBS (RCA) input or through
the antenna socket of the VCR. This configuration
results in lower picture quality. If you normally do
not connect the VCR to the TV through the anten-
na socket, then you must first program the video
recorder channel in your television.)
(10) SCART IN/OUT
This SCART output can be used to connect a video
recorder in order to tape footage.
(11) L/R Audio IN (RCA)
To capture audio you must connect the cable to
the Audio IN L and R inputs. Sources for mixing
(e.g. CD player) can also be connected here when
needed.
(12) L/R Audio OUT (RCA)
The audio outputs are here, and should be used to
output to your VCR or TV.
(13) Video IN (RCA)
This CVBS (RCA) input is used to connect (via RCA
cables) from a VHS or Video8 input device.
(14) Video OUT ( RCA)
Here you can connect a VHS vcr, Video8 recorder
or TV.
(15) S-Video IN (YC)
If you have a Hi8 or SVHS input device, then you
should use the YC (s-video) input because picture
quality will be better than CVBS (RCA).
