8 Matrox Rainbow Runner TV – Installation Guide
Connection setup
After the Rainbow Runner TV card is installed, you need to connect cables to it. This section
describes how to connect cables to your TV tuner card.*
1
Connect your antenna or cable TV
Connect your antenna or cable TV to
ANT/CABLE
on your TV tuner card.
If the cable from your antenna is flat and ends
with twin leads, you need a 300-to-75-ohm
adapter to connect to the Rainbow Runner
TV card (see below). You can find this type
of adapter at most electronics stores.
Your cable connections are now set up. To set up your software, see the next section.
* If you’re using a Matrox Media XL-MPEG add-on card, steps 2 and 3 are not necessary.
