Matrox Electronic Systems LX G450 Scart adapter, Connect audio output, TV or video Recorder

4Connect audio output

Typically, the sound output from a computer comes from speakers connected to your sound card. If you prefer, you can hear or record the sound output from your computer using the same TV or video recorder you connect to your graphics card. To do this, you need an audio cable with a stereo jack on one end and two RCA connectors on the other end. If you don’t have this type of cable, you can buy one at most consumer electronics stores.

a Plug the stereo-jack end of the audio cable into the LINE OUT*() connector on your sound card.

b Plug the other end of the cable into the left (L) and right (R) AUDIO IN connectors of your video device. For more information, see your sound card manual.

SCART adapter

Some video devices in Europe only have SCART connectors. This type of connector includes video and audio, whereas composite video or S-video connectors include only video.

If your TV or video recorder only uses a SCART connector, you need a SCART cable adapter to connect your computer to that TV or video recorder. You need a SCART adapter that has at least 2 or 3 connectors – 1 video and 1 or 2 audio. The video connector has to be either composite or S-video. If you don’t already have this type of adapter, it should be available at your local electronics store. To find out if your TV or your video recorder supports composite or S-video, see its documentation.

To use a SCART adapter, connect the SCART end of the adapter to your TV or video recorder, then connect the other end to your Matrox TV adapter and sound card.

*If your computer has no audio LINE OUT connector, you can use its SPKR (speaker) connector instead. In this case, all your computer sound output goes to the video device you connected to.
