Figure 3. TV Connections
While composite video is more common and works with most
televisions, S-Video provides better picture quality. NetStream 2000TV
connects directly to a S-Video capable TV using a standard 4-pin S-
Video cable which fits in the 7-pin DIN.
The component video cable, available separately, allows the display of
NTSC and PAL video in the component RGB and YUV (YPbPr)
formats. RGB is also available with an optional European Scart
connector. Use a software utility (DVD Station‚ page 20) to switch
between RGB and YUV modes (TV Output‚ page 26).
NetStream 2000TV can be simultaneously physically connected to
BOTH a VGA monitor and a TV using the Monitor Out port and the S-
Video or Composite Video out port, respectively. In this case,
NetStream 2000TV defaults to delivering windowed video information
to both the TV and the VGA monitor. For full screen video output to TV,
see HDTV on Full Screen‚ page 26.
Advanced Connections
The NetStream 2000TV package includes connectors that allow you to
pass MPEG audio through to the internal CD Audio In connector on
your sound card.
1.
Attach the CD Audio cable from your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
drive to the NetStream 2000TV CD Audio In.
2.
Attach another cable from the NetStream 2000TV's internal Line-
Out port to the CD Audio In connector on your sound card. (See
Figure 1, page 10 for connector locations.)
Note 5.
Adjust streaming video client software settings to show either full-
screen MPEG displays on a television, or windowed MPEG videos on a VGA
monitor.
Note 6.
This connection does not pass audio to the TV. For proper audio
connections, see Audio Connections‚ page 11
Note 7.
For best playback quality, connect NetStream 2000TV directly to a TV,
rather than to a TV via a VCR.
