Apple Power Macintosh 7600/200 Series - Manual (Page 86)

Connecting video equipment
You can connect video equipment to your computer so that you can view
TV and other video images on your monitor, and store the images on your
hard disk.
Your Macintosh can work with two major video formats:
m Composite video, which is used by most televisions, most videocassette
recorders (VCRs), and laserdisc players. Composite video devices plug into
the computer’s RCA-type video input port (˜).
m S-video, which is a high-quality video format used by many video cameras,
VCRs, and televisions. S-video devices plug into the computer’s S-video
input port (æ).
