Background Video
Next we will connect the background video source. The background video is the footage that you want
behind your subject in the finished video. A few examples of backgrounds would be a virtual studio, or a
weather map or perhaps a famous building or landmark. You can feed any video signal as the background
source; most often the footage will be coming from a VCR or DVD Player.
DVD Players and VCRs generally have one of two types of video output:
Most DVD Players and VCRs have outputs like these, although the
layout may differ slightly. There is a mini 4 pin din socket for S­Video
(Y/C) out, and a RCA / Phono socket (almost always colour coded
yellow) for Composite Video Out. In addition there will be two RCA /
Phono sockets for left and right audio (almost always colour coded
white and red).
Some DVD Players and VCRs (mostly in Europe) use a SCART
connector instead of the above. A SCART connector carries many
different types of signal in one multi pin socket. The easiest thing to
do if you have a SCART connector is to purchase a SCART to RCA /
Phono Adaptor as illustrated below.
A SCART Adaptor simply plugs into the SCART Socket and
breaks it out to RCA / Phono Sockets. Some adaptors have an
SCART ADAPTOR
Input / Output switch which changes the direction of the
with In / Out Switch
connections, whereas others are specified as In or Out.
Some adaptors have an S­Video Socket whereas others do not.
If you are buying a SCART adaptor for your playback device
make sure that it is an OUT adaptor.
N.B. If your VCR or DVD Player does not have S­Video output via
SCART Adaptor with
the SCART, using an S­Video port on a SCART Adaptor will only
give you a black & white picture.
