S-Video and Composite Video 

S-Video and Composite Video sources are input through the S-Video Line-In jack in the 
rear panel of the frame grabber board. 

On the 

Sub-Type

 selection you can select between the input type and the video type. 

The selections are: 

Composite NTSC, Composite PAL, Composite SECAM, S-Video 

NTSC, S-Video PAL and S-Video SECAM

.  

The 

Input Timing

 section shows the detected source timing. Please note that this is NOT 

the selection that the user did in the 

Sub-Type

 above.
