CHAPTER 3: Installation

3.3 Selecting Your Video Standard

Use the NTSC/PAL slide switch on the back of your Converter to choose which standard you’ll use for the VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and RGB outputs. NTSC is the video standard for the USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and parts of South America. PAL is used throughout most of Europe, the Middle East, Southern Asia, and the Pacific Rim.

3.4 Booting Your Converter System

If you haven’t already done so, plug in and turn ON your computer. The green indicator labeled LOCK on the Converter’s front panel should light, showing that the Converter is receiving a proper signal from the computer. (Refer to Chapter 5 for more information about this indicator.) Make sure the FREEZE IMAGE switch on the front panel is in the NORMAL position, so that your computer-image sequences will flow smoothly.

Your ProVideo Converter or Video Converter II is now ready for normal operation.
