How the adapter works
The Adapter has a USB connection for your PC and video connections for your camera's AV, Video, Video out or S-Video socket. With some cameras, a special cord will have been provided by the camera manufacturer.

The adapter is only for standard definition. For high definition video capture, we suggest using the Blackmagic Design Intensity card.

Proving the adapter will work with your camera before purchasing
You can test if the Video adapter will work with your camera using the following process:
- Set your camera to standard definition

- Identify your camera's AV, Video, Video out or S-Video socket

- Connect the camera to your TV's video input socket using the cord supplied by the camera manufacturer

- Turn on the TV and camera and identify the camera setting to see the 'live' picture

- If you having difficulties seeing a 'live' picture consult the camera manual, contact the camera manufacturer or try an alternative camera.
