502 Appendix C Working with Professional Video and Audio Equipment
The following illustration shows a typical non-DV-to-DV setup:
To connect video and audio outputs from 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 Connect the remote device control.
