Connect video output
To connect to a TV or a video recorder, you’ll
need a composite video (RCA) or S-video
cable.
If your video device (a TV or a video
recorder) didn’t come with one of these
cables, these types of cable are available at
most electronics stores. The type of cable
you use depends on what your video device
supports. Many video devices support
composite video connections, and some
higher-quality video devices support
S-video connections.
For each TV or video recorder, you want to
connect to your Matrox product:
a
Attach one end of your composite video
or S-video cable to the appropriate
connector on your dual-TV-output
cable.
b
Attach the other end to the
VIDEO IN
†
connector on your TV
‡
or video
recorder.
c
Before viewing or recording video
output directly from your computer,
* Only one (1) dual-TV-output cable can be connected to Matrox MMS×2 cards.
