2. Connect your RT.X100 Xtreme breakout
cable and computer speakers
To connect your RT.X100 Xtreme breakout cable and your computer speakers:
1 Plug the connector into the RT.X100 Xtreme socket labeled VIDEO.
2 Plug the light blue and light green audio connectors (labeled TO AUDIO
CARD IN
and TO AUDIO CARD OUT) into the corresponding colored jacks
on your sound card. If your sound card doesn’t have colored jacks, refer to
the labels on the connectors.
¦NoteIf your computer speakers are connected to your sound card, unplug
them from your sound card, then proceed to the next step.
3 To connect your computer speakers, simply plug the connector into the
RT.X100 Xtreme socket labeled
AUDIO.
If your sound card has an external breakout box (or “rack”), see the next section
for details on how to connect your RT.X100 Xtreme breakout cable to your audio
breakout box.
The following illustration shows the
TO AUDIO CARD IN cable connected to the
LINE IN of the sound card. However, you can also connect the cable to another
input of your sound card, for example,
AUX IN. Regardless of the input to which
you’ve connected the
TO AUDIO CARD IN cable, you must specify your analog
audio input as described in the section “Defining your Capture settings” on
page 55
in order to capture analog audio.
You can choose to connect your other external devices either before or after
installing your RT.X100 Xtreme software. For details on how to install your
software, see Chapter 4, “Installing Your Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme Software,” on
page 33.
