1Make sure that both the Macintosh and the video equipment are turned off.

2Attach one end of the video cable to the Video Out port on the video equipment.

3Plug the other end of the video cable into the S-video input port on the video input card.

About the S-video port: The S-video port accepts 4-pin and 7-pin connectors.

If the connector doesn’t slide easily into the port, realign it and try again. Avoid using force, which could damage the card or the connector.

4Insert the RCA plugs on one end of the audio cables into the left and right Audio Out ports on the video equipment.

If you’re using a Y-adapter audio cable: Plug the single end of the cable into the Audio Out port on your video equipment.
