Source: Sets the crossbar of the video card.
The crossbar determines which video and audio input signal will be recorded.
The crossbars are connected in series to the video recording chip itself. In the
output field, the video output (for the crossbars) is the input for the recording
chip (video or audio decoder-in) of the video card. In the “Input” field, select
the signal source that will be used by the video card to capture for this input.
Many video cards have separate crossbars for audio and video. If you have a
problem, try out the different configurations until the right sound matches the
right image.
Composite-in = the normal video input (typically a cinch jack)
S-video = S-video input (mini-din jack)
SVHS-in = SVHS input (special cable)
Tuner-in = TV signal of the integrated tuner
Display
Video decoder: If the picture only appears in black & white or it flickers, the
video standard may be set incorrectly. In mainland Europe, PAL_B is used.
VideoProcAmp: Fine-adjustment of colors, brightness, contrast etc. We
recommend against changing any of the manufacturer’s settings.
Format: Please do not change anything here. The capturing format is set in the
"Recording quality" option in the video recording dialog.
Station selection
This option is only available if a TV tuner is integrated into your video card.
Audio
Songs, noises, or instruments can be easily recorded in MAGIX Video Pro X4
using the audio recording function. A hooked-up microphone or various audio
devices (especially a stereo system) can be used as recording sources.
Connecting the source for recording
First of all, the source of the audio material must be connected to the sound
card input. Again, there are several possibilities which primarily depend on the
type of equipment you have.
If you are recording from a microphone, then please connect the microphone
to the microphone jack on your sound card (usually red).
