Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
TV Connections
There are two options for connecting your REALmagic NetStream
2000 DVD/MPEG-2 Playback Card to a television: S-Video by
using a standard S-Video cable, or composite video by using an S-
Video to Composite cable.
The REALmagic NetStream 2000 DVD/MPEG-2 Playback card can
be connected directly to a TV using a S-Video cable. The S-Video
TV Out connector on the REALmagic NetStream 2000 is a 7-pin
S-Video connector, which can be connected directly to a TV using a
standard 4-pin S-Video cable. If your television set does not have an
S-Video input port, you may connect it to the REALmagic
NetStream 2000 by using an S-Video to Composite adapter cable.
Composite Video is more common and works with most televisions.
The S-Video Out connector provides better picture quality.
The component video output cable, available separately, can also be
plugged into the S-Video port. With this cable attached, NetStream
2000 can display NTSC and PAL video in the component RGB and
YUV (Y Pb Pr) formats A software utility described in the next
chapter can be used to switch between RGB and YUV modes.
