Connecting a VCR or Camcorder to

the USB VideoBus™

After installing the USB VideoBus™, you can now start

connecting the VCR or camcorder to the USB VideoBus™. The

following outlines the steps connecting the USB VideoBus™to

the VCR or camcorder:

1. Connecting a VCR

VCRs usually include either an S-video or RCA (depending on

your VCR) video cable with the same connector on both ends,

to allow connection of the VCR to a Television set. Please use

this cable to connect your VCR to the USB VideoBus™.

1. Connect the Yellow RCA or S-video connector on one end

of the audio/video cable to the "Video Out" connector on

the VCR. Connect the Yellow RCA or S-Video connector on

the other end of the Audio/Video cable to the appropriate

connector on the USB VideoBus™.

2. If you want to capture sound as well, connect the Red and

White RCA connectors on the included VideoBus™audio

cable to the left and right "Audio Out" connectors of the

VCR. Connect the mini-stereo plug on the VideoBus™audio

cable to the microphone jack on the iMac™, G3 or G4.

2. Connecting a Camcorder

If your camcorder has RCA Video and Audio out connectors,

please refer to the instructions above for connecting a VCR.

1. Most camcorders use a custom cable for Video and Audio

output. Using the cable included with your camcorder,

connect either the S-Video or Yellow RCA connector to the

Yellow RCA connector on the Belkin USB VideoBus™.

Using VideoShop™’s digitizing function, you can capture your

own clips.

Equipment needed for Digitizing:

• USB VideoBus™- this will be your digitizing hardware

installed on the computer

• VCR or camcorder and necessary cables

Digitizing Equipment Setup

For digitizing, you will be capturing clips from an external

source, such as a VCR or camcorder. Follow the instructions on

the previous pages about connecting your VCR or camcorder to

the USB VideoBus™.

Before Digitizing

•Important: To capture sound, follow the steps on the

previous page regarding “Configuring Audio”.

• To improve digitizing performance, it is recommended that

you follow these rules:

a) Turn off network sharing.

b) Quit any other applications you are not using.

c) Defragment your hard drive.

d) Make sure you have adequate space on your hard

drive to store the digitized clips. The following

digitizing example will require at least 50MB.

Digitizing Clips (Example)

To Display the Digitizing Window:

1. Start VideoShop™.

2. Select “New” from the “File” menu to start a new project.

Note: You do not have to have a project open to digitize.

You can open the digitizing window at anytime

with the “Show Digitizing Window” command. The

digitized clips will be stored in the VideoShop™cache

folder (or designated digitizing folder). To use the clips,

import them into the bin when you start a project.

3. The “Project Settings” dialog appears. Click on the

“Internet” setting. Both the “Recording” and “Project

Settings” change to “Width: 160”, “Height: 120” and

“FPS: 15”. This means that the clip you digitize will be 160

pixels wide x 120 pixels high. Your VideoShop™project will

also have the same settings and have a frame rate of 15

frames per second.

4. Click “OK” to start a new project with these settings. A

new project starts and VideoShop™’s main windows appear.

5. Select “Show Digitizing Window” from the “Windows” menu.

top left: 160x120.

To Configure the Digitizing Software:

1. From the “Digitize” menu, select “Video On” to enable

the Video digitizing function.

Note: This command is only enabled if VideoShop™detects

a digitizing card in your computer (in our case it is the

USB VideoBus™).

already active.

2. From the Digitizing menu, select “Video Settings”. The
