With this setup, you can import or transfer audio and video files from card readers, drives, or tapeless camcorders
recorded in digital video file formats, such as Panasonic P2, XDCAM HD, XDCAM EX, or AVCHD. You can also
preview video on a high-definition TV monitor, provided your computer has a high-definition capture card or display
card with component, SDI or HDMI outputs.
1 Connect the card reader, disk drive, or camcorder to the computer, typically with a USB 2.0 cable. Check the
manual for your device for details.
2 Connect the output of the computer sound card to computer speakers or audio amplifier.
3 Connect the video outputs from the capture card, breakout box, or display card to the TV monitor using
component, SDI, or HDMI cables.

With this setup, you can capture audio and video from an analog camcorder or VTR, monitor the video signal on a
TV monitor while editing, and export any sequence back to the camcorder or VTR.
To convert the analog source signal to a digital one the computer can use, this setup requires an analog/digital (A/D)
converter, or digitizer, either installed in the computer or attached to it, or a digital camcorder or VTR capable of
digitizing an incoming analog signal.
1 Connect the analog camcorder or VTR to the computer or its interface, such as a breakout box, A/D converter,
digital camcorder or VTR, using S-Video or RCA video cables. Run video cables from the video outputs of the
computer or its interface to the video inputs of the device. Also run video cables from the video outputs of the device
to the video inputs of the computer or its interface.
2 Connect the analog camcorder or VTR to the computer or its interface, such as a breakout box, A/D converter,
digital camcorder or VTR, using XLR or RCA audio cables. Run audio cables from the audio outputs of the
computer or its interface to the audio inputs of the device. Also run audio cables from the audio outputs of the
device to the audio inputs of the computer or its interface.
3 (Optional) On Windows, if the analog camcorder or VTR has an RS-422 or RS-232 port, connect the serial device
control port on the camcorder or VTR with the serial port (Windows) on the computer using the Pipeline Digital
ProVTR cable.
Note: Native serial device control is available on Windows only.
