Chapter 1 Setting Up Your System 31
Setting Up a System Using a PCI Video Interface Card
with Breakout Box
Many PCI cards aren’t big enough to fit all of the necessary video and audio
connectors. In these situations, a breakout box is connected to the PCI card via a
multipin connector on a long cable, and the connectors are accessible on the breakout
box instead of on the back of the PCI card. A breakout box is also useful because it
allows you to place the connectors somewhere more convenient than the back of your
computer, such as on an equipment rack or a desktop.
This setup uses the following equipment:
 Your computer and display
 Video interface (PCI card with breakout box)
 High-quality video monitor
 Audio speakers
Analog or digital VTR Computer
(with PCI card)
Breakout box
BNC connector
