The first diagram (1) shows a typical video production setup. The
TitleMaker 2000 is connected between a video source (A), which plays the
picture to which you will add titles, and a recorder (C), which will record the
results. Some common variations:
1 The diagram shows a camcorder (A) as the video source. Other sources,
such as a VCR or camera can be substituted.
Hint: You can leave the unit permanently connected. When the power supply is
plugged in but the power light is off, the input signal is passed through to the
output and no titles are added.
2 The output can be connected directly to a monitor (B), instead of going
through a VCR, if you plan to display titles without recording them.
3 The source is optional — the TitleMaker 2000 can operate without a
source, generating titles on its own backgrounds.
This chapter describes how to connect the inputs, outputs, and monitors.
Chapter 4, "Connecting Editing Equipment" goes further, explaining how to
attach editing equipment, such as an edit controller, video mixer, video
processor, or effects unit.

What You'll Need

A Video source (optional). Any standard video source with composite (RCA-
style) or S-video (Y/C) outputs can be used, including VCRs, camcorders,
cameras, video disc players, video production equipment (such as a mixer,
processor, or another titler), and computers with television outputs. If no
source is used, the TitleMaker 2000 will create titles on its own back-
grounds.
