HDV camcorder
If you have connected your HDV camcorder before to your computer, check the
Device Manager
to see if your camcorder is detected as a DV device or AV/C tape
device. If the camcorder is detected as an AV/C tape device, you can capture HDV
footage.
Analog video sources
VHS, S-VHS, Video-8, and Hi8 camcorders and VCRs are examples of analog video
sources. To capture video from analog sources, you will need to install an analog
capture card in your computer. Conventional broadcast television is also an analog
source. To capture TV footage, you need to have a TV tuner card installed in your
computer.
Connecting the video device to the analog capture card
To connect your video device to the analog capture card, use either an S-Video or
RCA Composite cable depending on your device's video output. If your video device
has both types of output, use the S-Video connection for higher video quality
captures.
If you want to use the Composite output of your video device, connect the yellow
plugs of the Composite cable to the video output of your video device and the video
input port of the analog capture card.
Most higher-end analog capture cards do not have the Composite/S-Video input
ports crowded on the side of the cards. Instead, these cards come with an external
breakout box that provide all the video input ports at the front of the box. Video
devices can be connected to the capture card more easily through the breakout
box.
