Devices that connect to the board include any DV format video
camcorder or recorder that has an IEEE-1394/DV connector.
s
Print to tape (Transfer of DV data from the computer back to the tape):
Note that not all PAL DV devices available on the market support a
playback back to the camcorder. Please refer the documentation that
comes with your camcorder/VCR. If you want to playback to analog
VCR’s, you can also playback your video back to (analog) tape using the
miroVIDEO DC30 or miroVIDEO DC30 plus boards.
For more information on video standards (PAL, NTSC) refer to the
Appendix on page VII. You will find a list of compatible devices in the
Appendix on page VII and in the readme file.
To be able to check the quality of your video footage during editing, a TV
set or a video monitor is required. (Some camcorders have an integrated
display. If you own such a device, you do not necessarily have to connect a
monitor.) In case you do not want to connect a TV set or video monitor to
your DV device, you can always use the preview window provided in the
miroVIDEO DVTools, though the quality and size is limited.
To connect a television/video monitor to your camcorder/VCR, you need a
S-Video or a composite cable or a cinch cable for the audio inputs/outputs.
