Technical information

Preparing your equipment and assembling cables
1 Make sure that the video equipment you want to connect has either an RCA-type video port or an
S-video port.
2 Place the equipment near the Macintosh.
3 Make sure you have the cable you need to connect the equipment to the Macintosh. The cable you
need depends on what kind of port your equipment has.
m If your equipment has an RCA-type video port, you’ll need the composite video to S-video adapter
cable that came with your computer.
m If your equipment has an S-video port, you’ll need a cable with S-video connectors at each end. If
your equipment didn’t come with this type of cable, you can purchase one at an electronics store.
