Setup with a Video Output Device
With this setup, you can play video and audio through an external video output device.
Because using a video output device can result in increased latency, you may want to
combine this setup with an audio-only setup, and switch between the two setups.
This setup uses the following equipment:
• Your computer and display
• Video output device (FireWire device or PCI Express card)
• High-quality video monitor
