FireWire connections
You can connect a FireWire device, such as a DV camcorder or VCR, to the FireWire port on
your Power Mac G4 as explained in your Setting Up Your Power Mac G4 guide.
¡ Important When using Final Cut Pro with a FireWire setup, make sure your DV device is
connected to the FireWire port on your Power Mac G4 before starting a capture or print to
video. If your DV device isn't connected when Final Cut Pro attempts to capture DV clips or
record to DV tape, your system will become unstable. You'll then need to quit and restart
Final Cut Pro.
Connecting a secondary computer monitor
If you want to use a secondary VGA monitor with your system, such as to provide a second
desktop display for dual-monitor editing, you can connect this monitor to your Matrox RTMac
card. Your primary monitor is connected to the AGP graphics card that came with your Power
Mac G4. Your secondary monitor connects to the standard 15-pin VGA connector on your
RTMac card.
