Connecting Your Camera to a USB Capture Device
|
Your video camera may require an adapter cable to plug
into the USB Video Capture device. There are at least three
possible connectors that we know of that could be on your camera. We'll try
to cover each one, and recommend the proper cable you would need to go into
the USB Video Capture Device. All of these cables are readily available at local
electronics stores, such as Radio Shack, for less than $10.00.
NOTE: The USB Video
Capture device can accept either S-VIDEO or
RCA Video connections. Choose either one based on your camera connector
options and personal preference. |
S-Video on your camera to
S-VIDEO on the USB device
A standard S-Video
connector is pictured to the right. If your camera has a connector like this
on it, then you can use an S-VIDEO to S-VIDEO cable to connect your camera
to the USB device. Plug this cable into the female S-VIDEO connector on
your camera, and the other end into the female S-VIDEO connector on your
USB device, and you will be ready to go!

An RCA Video connector is pictured to the right. If
you have this connector on your camera, then you'll need an RCA to RCA cable.
It will look like below on both ends. Plug one end into the camera's VIDEO
OUT and the other end into the USB device's VIDEO IN.

1/8" Stereo plug
on camera to RCA Video + Audio on the USB device
Some cameras use a 1/8"
stereo connector, such as that pictured to the right, to output both video and audio. For
this kind of connection, use an adapter cable as pictured below. One of the
two RCA connectors will carry the video, and the other will carry the
audio.
