The following illustration shows a typical non-DV-to-DV setup:
To connect your VTR to your analog-to-DV or digital-to-DV converter:
1
With your DV converter turned off, connect the 6-pin connector on the FireWire cable
to the FireWire port on your computer.
2
Connect the 4-pin connector on the FireWire cable to the DV converter.
3
Connect the video output of your VTR to the video input of the DV converter.
4
Connect the audio output of your VTR to the audio input of the DV converter.
Note: The DV converter mentioned above could possibly be a DV VTR that can convert
analog video and audio input to DV FireWire. Some decks need to be in record mode
to allow this conversion. Other decks may not support this.
5

About Audio Interfaces, Signals, and Connectors
This section describes common types of audio interfaces, signal formats, and connectors.
Audio Interfaces
By default, Final Cut Pro uses one of the built-in audio interfaces included with your
Macintosh computer, such as a stereo headphone jack or a stereo speaker output. If
you need to capture audio from a professional device, you may need a separate
third-party interface.
