3.3 Installation Procedures
3.3.1 VGA S
YSTEMS
To install the VGA/Video Portable Pro in a VGA system, take these steps
(referring to Fig. 2-1 on page 11 and Fig. 3-1 on page 16):
1. Make sure your computer (laptop, notebook, or desktop PC) is turned
OFF.
2. Slide the VGA
↔
MAC switch (component 4 in Fig. 2-1) to the
left
side
(marked “VGA”).
3. Plug one end of the included VGA passthrough cable into your
computer’s video-output port. Plug the other end into the Portable Pro’s
VGA IN port (component 2 in Fig. 2-1).
4. If you are using a local monitor with the Portable Pro, plug one end of
the monitor’s video cable into the monitor’s video-input port. Plug the
other end into the Portable Pro’s VGA OUT port (component 3 in
Fig. 2-1).
5A. If you’re going to use the Portable Pro’s
composite-video output
, plug
one end of the included composite-video cable into the Portable Pro’s
VIDEO OUT port (component 7 in Fig. 2-1). Plug the other end into
the VIDEO IN port on your TV, VCR, or video projector.
5B. If you’re going to use the Portable Pro’s higher-quality
S-Video output
,
plug one end of the included S-Video cable into the Portable Pro’s
S-VIDEO OUT port (component 6 in Fig. 2-1). Plug the other end
into the S-VIDEO IN port on your TV, VCR, or video projector.
5C. If you’re going to use the Portable Pro’s highest-quality
RGBS video
output
, plug the DB9 end of an RGBS cable (included with the AC331AE
only) into the Portable Pro’s RGB VIDEO OUT port (component 10 in
Fig. 2-1). If this cable is the one included with the AC331AE, plug its
male SCART connector into the female SCART connector on your TV,
VCR, or video projector. If this cable is a BNC-type RGBS cable with four
male BNC connectors (not included), plug them into the RED, GREEN,
BLUE, and SYNC connectors of the RGBS VIDEO IN port on your TV,
VCR, or video projector. (The ends of the cable should be color-coded—
red, green, blue, and black, for example—to help you determine which
connectors should go together.) If you need an RGBS cable, call Black
Box for a special quote.
