INTRODUCTION
With the Apple MPEG Media System and the Apple Video
Player System or TV/Video Player System installed, you can
watch MPEG-compressed digital video on your Macintosh
computer’s monitor.
This manual covers installing the Apple MPEG Media System
hardware and software, and takes you through the first steps
in opening the software and watching a movie.
To use the Apple MPEG Media System, you must have an
Apple Macintosh or Power Macintosh computer with an LC
processor-direct slot (PDS) and a video input slot. In
addition, you must have either the Apple Video System or
Apple TV/Video System installed in your computer.
Note: The Apple MPEG Media System does not support
the Apple LC 630 DOS-compatible computer or the
Macintosh Performa 640 DOS-compatible computer.
If you purchased your computer with the Apple MPEG Media
System already installed, turn to Section 4 of this book,
“Playing Digital Video with Apple Video Player.” You can also
get onscreen instructions on how to do this by using Apple
Video Player Guide. This Guide is your resource for all
information about using the Apple Video Player software.
To use the Apple Guide, open Apple Video Player and
choose Apple Video Player Guide in the Guide (h) menu.
See the manual that came with your computer for more
information on using Apple Guide.
