Using Your Display for Video
and Image Playback
This chapter explains how to use your display to play videocassettes and view television (TV )
and digital camera images. It also tells you how to connect video and camera equipment to
the display.
About Video Formats
There are three technical standards for television and video that are supported by your
display:
m NTSC—National Television System Committee, used by most countries in North America
and Asia, including Japan
m PAL—Phase Alternating Line, used in most European countries (except France) and
Australia
m SECAM—Sequential Couleur Avec Memoire, or Sequential Color with Memory, used in
France
When you are using the display in video mode, you can select which standard you are using.
For more information, see “Using the On-Screen Display in Video Mode” on page 40.
Connecting Video Equipment to Your Display

either Super VHS video (S-video) ports or composite video (C-video) ports.
m You can connect a VCR (videocassette recorder) or camcorder to the display and play
video.
m You can connect cable TV directly to your VCR, connect the VCR to the display, and view
television on the display.
m You can connect a digital camera with a video output and view images on the screen.
