USB capture cables typically offer two input ports for video: “Composite” and “SVideo”. The Composite port is usually yellow in color and looks like a standard stereo connector as found on the back of VCRs. The SVideo port is usually a round, black connector, with a couple of very small sockets inside it. You will most likely need to select the “Composite” video input port before it will display your camcorders video signal. To do this, follow these steps in MotionView:
-
Enter the “Capture” screen in MotionView
-
Press the “Show Camera Controls” button.
-
Press the small “I/O” button on the Camera Controls Panel.
This will display a dialog box (presented by your USB video cable device driver) where you should find a selection for ”Composite”or “Svideo” as the input port to be used by the cable. Once you select the correct input port you should see the actual video coming into the cable.
A very similar method is available in MotionClip.
