5 Connecting the VS-66FW

This section describes how to connect the VS-66FW. In particular, how to:

 Connect the VS-66FW rear panel (see section 5.1)

 Control via RS-232, for example, using a PC (see section 5.2)

 Control via RS-485 (see section 5.3)

 Set the dipswitches (see section 5.4)

 Connect the REMOTE Connector (see section 5.5)

5.1 Connecting the VS-66FW Rear Panel

You can connect the VS-66FW to up to 6 devices, using IEEE-1394 cables

with 6 pin connectors. The example in Figure 4 illustrates how you can use

the VS-66FW to capture and edit real-time video and audio from one video

camcorder to a computer, and from another video camcorder to a laptop. The

data from the computer is stored on an external hard drive.

To connect the VS-66FW, as the example in Figure 4 illustrates, do the

following:

1. Connect the two FireWire ports of a computer, as follows:

 Connect the first FireWire port to PORT 1

 Connect the second FireWire port to PORT 2

2. Connect a FireWire device (for example, a video camcorder) to PORT 3.

3. Connect a FireWire device (for example, another video camcorder) to

PORT 4.

4. Connect a FireWire device (for example, a laptop) to PORT 5.

5. Connect a FireWire device (for example, a hard disk) to PORT 6.

6. Set the dipswitches (see section 5.4).

7. Connect a PC (if required) to the RS-232 IN port (see section 5.2).

8. Connect the power cord
