User manual ATI XCLAIM TV

[. . . ] All of the intelligent television functions of XCLAIM TV are controlled by the Xclaim Video Player software which came with the XCLAIM TV package. For complete instructions on using XCLAIM TV, refer to the Xclaim Video Player Users Guide. XCLAIM TV's Connectors XCLAIM TV is equipped with all the necessary connectors so you can put TV on your desktop right out of the box. Using the video and audio inputs, you can also connect a VCR, camcorder, or video conferencing camera to XCLAIM TV, so you can watch a videotape or live video on your computer. The XCLAIM TV connectors, and their associated icons, are summarized in the following diagram: Rear Panel CATV or Antenna Input Enhanced S-Video Output Sound Output (Stereo Miniplug) Sound Input (Extended Stereo Miniplug) Front Panel Power LED Indicator Left Audio Input (White) Right Audio Input (Red) Composite Video Input (Yellow) S-Video Input Page 2 Making the Connections To receive maximum performance and a complete set of features, connect XCLAIM TV to XCLAIM VR. [. . . ] If the power indicator does not light when XCLAIM TV is connected and your Macintosh computer is on, make sure you are using the 7-pin enhanced S-Video cable that comes with XCLAIM TV. NOTE Page 5 Connecting Video Equipment to XCLAIM TV If you are planning to capture video and sound from a VCR, camcorder or other external video equipment, you should make the connections using the input ports on your XCLAIM TV tuner. These input ports provide a passthrough function to route video and sound from the external equipment to your computer. Once you have made the appropriate connections, you enable a pass-through function by selecting the input source using Xclaim Video Player s Remote Control palette (refer to the Xclaim Video Player Users Guide for help in selecting video sources). XCLAIM TV has pass-through inputs for the two major video formats S-video and composite. (To determine the format that your equipment uses, check your equipment manual. ) For audio, the two RCA-type audio inputs (for left and right audio channels) are typically used for audio pass-through; however, when capturing video to XCLAIM VRs composite input port, the Sound Input port ( ) on XCLAIM TV provides the audio pass-through. To connect S-video equipment, you will need a standard 4pin S-video cable (available at most electronic supply stores). To make composite video and audio connections, you can use three separate cables, or an all-in-one cable (three joined cables one video and two audio) with RCA connectors at each end (available at most electronic supply stores). The yellow connector is for the composite video, the red connector is for the right channel audio, and the white connector is for the left channel audio. The illustration on the next page shows some typical congurations. If you are connecting mono video equipment (i. e. , only one audio channel), you can use either the left or right audio input on XCLAIM TV for the audio connection, but typically the left (white) audio input is used. If your video source provides composite video and S-video, S-video will produce better results. To use S-video, simply make the appropriate connection to XCLAIM TV, then select the S-Video input source using Xclaim Video Player s Remote Control palette (refer to the Xclaim Video Player Users Guide for help in selecting video sources).

The Sound Input setting should match the audio input connection that you are using. If you are using the Sound Input port ( ) on your Power Mac, the Sound Input setting is typically Microphone or Sound In (depending on the particular model and OS version); if you are using RCA audio connections, the Sound Input setting is typically RCA In or AV connector. Installing the Software The installation disks included with your XCLAIM TV install all of the components necessary to operate XCLAIM VR and/or XCLAIM TV (connected to either XCLAIM VR or an Audio/Video option card in a Power Macintosh G3). The specic installation disk you use is determined by your conguration. Before beginning the installation, quit any open applications and disable any anti-virus software that may be running. 1 Insert the appropriate XCLAIM TV installation disk for XCLAIM VR or G3 into your drive. 2 Double-click on the Installer icon The ATI splash screen appears.
