(9) S-Video OUT (YC)
You can connect VCR (Hi8, SVHS, or MiniDV)
to this port to output to tape once your project
is completed. If your video recorder supports a
YC (S-video) signal, then you should use this as
your output, because YC (S-video) is superior to
CVBS (RCA).
North America customers must use the euro-
scart adapter with the AVIO to get SVHS out.
(10) S-Video IN (YC)
You can use this input instead of the front input
in order to connect your Hi8, SVHS, or MiniDV
camera. Ideally, MiniDV should input via the DV
port, however, the YC (S-video) port may occasi-
onally be used if the footage needs to be correc-
ted with the Brightness, Contrast and Saturation
controls in the Video Settings screen.
(11) Video OUT ( RCA)
Here you can connect a VHS vcr, Video8 recor-
der or TV.
(12) Video IN (RCA)
You can use this input to connect your VHS or
Video8 input device as an alternative to the front
inputs.
(13) L/R Audio OUT (RCA)
The audio outputs are here, and should be used
to output to your VCR or TV.
(14) L/R Audio IN (RCA)
These audio inputs can be used instead of the
front inputs.
(15) DV (IN/OUT)
This "DV" port (optional for CASABLANCA AVIO)
can be used to connect your MiniDV/DV recorder
or your camera and other equipment with DV
connectability, such as PC systems with firewire
cards.
(16) 3 USB
One of the USB ports should be used for the
included trackball, the other USB ports can be
used for further hardware options (e.g. Power-
Key Option, etc.). For users wishing to connect
more than the supplied USB devices, we offer a
quadruple HUB. The HUB is a distributor sup-
plied with a support (for horizontal mounting), a
USB connecting cable (length 1.5 meters), and
an AC adapter.

(4) Mic. IN
You can connect a microphone to this input to
record commentary. This is a stereo input with
a 3.5 mm jack. You can use an adapter if your
microphone has a 6.3 mm jack plug.
You can also connect a mono microphone, but
be sure to set the corresponding Mono mode in
the Audio Record screen.
(6) Power connection
Here you connect the machine to the power
line (220-240 V in most parts of Europe, 115 V
in North America). Connect the supplied power
cable to the power plug on the rear side of the
machine and then connect the other end to the
power outlet. Never turn off the machine by pul-
ling the power cable from the electrical outlet or
by cutting power between the machine and the
outlet. Always use the switch on the front side
of the system, or use the “Off” button in the
Main Menu screen, or data may be lost.
(7) Video/TV Monitor RGB (Europe only)
(The following information is not applicable in
North America.)
Connect your TV monitor (for a computer moni-
tor see port (17) or Chapter 6 "VGA mode" in the
SMART EDIT manual) to this SCART port. For
televisions supporting RGB in addition to CVBS,
the user interface appears very sharp. Be sure
to choose the correct AV input on your televi-
sion. (If your TV does not have a SCART port,
then connect it through the CVBS(RCA) input
or through the antenna socket of the VCR. This
configuration results in lower picture quality.
If you normally do not connect the VCR to the
TV through the antenna socket, then you must
first program the video recorder channel in your
television.)
North America customers must use the euro-
scart adapter with the AVIO to get SVHS out.
(8) Ethernet
This port is an interface for exchanging data
with other devices (e.g. computers). Please read
chapter 9 "Ethernet-Transfer" in the SMART EDIT
manual.
Please note: On Solitaire, use only the labelled
port (found beneath the DV
port) for Ethernet-Transfer.
