devices
The RT.X100 Xtreme breakout cable has two composite video connectors (one
input and one output), and two S-Video connectors (one input and one output).
Most video equipment uses composite video, but some devices (for example,
S-VHS VCRs) use S-Video, which provides a higher quality video signal.
If you have a video device with S-Video connectors, you should use the Matrox
S-VIDEO in and out connectors on your breakout cable. You can use the Matrox
S-Video connectors instead of—or in addition to—the composite video
connectors. If you use composite and S-Video connectors, you can connect up to
four video devices to RT.X100 Xtreme at the same time (two input and two
output).
RT.X100 Xtreme video output is simultaneous on its composite (
VIDEO) and
S-Video (
S-VIDEO) lines. Both video input types can be connected at the same
time, but only one video input signal at a time can be used by RT.X100 Xtreme.
You need to select either the composite video input or the S-Video input signal in
Adobe Premiere. For more information, see “Defining your Capture settings” on
page 55.
