Capturing images from an analog video unit on a computer
– Signal convert function
Notes
•You need the software and computer that support the exchange of digital video
signals.
•Depending on the condition of the analog video signals, the computer may not be able
to output the images correctly when you convert video signals to digital video signals
via your camcorder. Depending on the analog video unit, the image may contain noise
or incorrect colors.
•You cannot record or capture the video output via your camcorder when the video
tapes include copyright protection signals such as the ID-2 system.
If the computer has a USB port
You can connect using a USB cable, but images may not be transferred smoothly.
If your VCR has an S video jack
Pictures can be reproduced more faithfully by using an S video cable (optional).
With this connection, you do not need to connect the yellow (video) plug of the A/V
connecting cable.
Connect an S video cable (optional) to the S video jacks of both your camcorder and the
VCR.
