2. Connect the camcorder or VTR to the television monitor with an S-Video or RCA video cable and RCA audio cables, or an HDMI cable.

3. Set the camcorder or VTR to VTR or Play mode.

4. (For HDV camcorders or VTRs only) Make sure the device is in DV playback mode for DV projects, or HDV playback mode for HDV

With this setup you can capture audio and video from an SD-SDI, HD-SDI, or component video device (camcorder or VTR). You can monitor the
signal on a TV monitor while editing. Finally, you can export any sequence back to the camcorder or VTR.

This setup requires either an SDI or component PCI card installed in the computer. Alternatively, it requires an external SDI or component device
connected to the computer via FireWire. Either an internal card or an external device would provide ports, usually with BNC connectors, capable of
receiving SDI or component video signals.

Some SDI and component PCI cards come with breakout boxes which provide ports for the SDI or component signals. Some breakout boxes also
provide ports for genlock. Others provide the necessary outputs directly on the card.

1. Connect the SD-SDI, HD-SDI, or component device to the computer or breakout box using SDI or component video cables. A single cable

with BNC connectors carries SDI video, but three separate cables with BNC connectors carry component video signals. Run video cables
