VIDEOTAPE EDITING 75
Method #2
If you have a monitor-style television set, you can monitor
the effect your video enhancer has on your recording by
sending the output of your enhancer to both the VHS
recording and to your TV monitor. In order to do this, you
will need to purchase a “video distribution amplifier”.
Because of the nature of video output signals, one video
source must go through a small amplifier to go to two places.
Connect the AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUTs of your 8mm/VHS
Dual-Deck VCR to inputs of the video distribution amplifier.
Connect one set of amplifier outputs to the AUDIO/VIDEO
INPUTS of your VCR. Then, connect the other set of
amplifier outputs to your monitor TV. With this connection,
you will see the signal from your enhancer on your monitor,
and the effect you see will be recorded onto your VHS tape.
Note:
If you rewind and Play back
your VHS tape with this
connection, you should switch
or connect the Enhancer to
"Bypass". Otherwise, you will
end up processing previously
processed video, or "double-
enhancing".
Note:
See the Monitor Connections
section of this Guide for a
description of monitor-style
TV's.
