Connecting a Digital Video Deck or Camera 

2. 

Step 

Description 

Connect the analog video from the digital 
deck or camera to the capture board. 

Connect the analog signal with either an 
RCA cable (step 2a) 

or

 an S-Video cable 

(step 2b).  Perform step 2a 

or

 step 2b, not 

both. 

2a

Connect an RCA-to-RCA cable from the 
camera to the in1 port on the capture 
board.

 

Provides a composite analog signal from 
the hardware codec of the camera to the 
In1 port on the capture board.  The signal is 
looped to the Out1 port and used as a  
composite output of the capture board to 
the client monitor (your TV or NTSC moni-
tor).   

2b

Connect an S-Video-to-S-Video cable 
from the camera to the in2 port on the 
capture board.

 

Same as step 2a except the signal uses the 
In2 and Out2 ports.
