Setting Up Your Editing System

The following illustration shows a typical non-DV–to–DV setup:

To connect video and audio outputs from your VTR to your analog-to-DV or
digital-to-DV converter:

1

With your DV converter turned off, connect the 6-pin connector on the FireWire cable
to the FireWire port on your computer.

2

Connect the 4-pin connector on the FireWire cable to the DV converter.

3

Connect the video output of your VTR to the video input of the DV converter.

4

Connect the audio output of your VTR to the audio input of the DV converter.

Note: The DV converter mentioned above could possibly be a DV VTR that can convert
analog video and audio input to DV/FireWire. Some decks need to be in record mode
to allow this conversion. Other decks may not support this.

5

Connect the remote device control.
