Connections
Connect the power supply (C) to a working wall outlet and connect the other end to the
TitleMaker 2000's POWER jack. The POWER light comes on for a moment, then goes out.
Connect the TitleMaker 2000's OUT jacks to the VIDEO and AUDIO IN jacks of a VCR (B).
Connect a television/monitor to the VCR in the normal fashion, so you can see the VCR's
output. Leave the PREVIEW OUT jack unconnected unless you are using a PREVIEW monitor
(Chapter 21). Turn the television and VCR on.
If you plan to superimpose titles over video, connect a camcorder, VCR or other source (A)
to TitleMaker 2000's video and audio IN jacks. Turn on the video source and start the tape
rolling.
Note: The illustration shows the use of composite (RCA-style) jacks for the video connections.
You can use S-video (Y/C) jacks instead. It is important to use the same type of jacks for the
input and the output. In other words, if your input is connected via the S-video jack, the output
should also use S-video; if it uses the composite jack, the output should use composite too. An
on-screen warning will alert you if you attempt to use the S-video output and composite input.
Note: The audio connections are for convenience only — the audio signals are not affected by
the unit.
