Without a Computer
Converting Analog Video to DV
If you have a DV camcorder or VCR that supports DV input via a 1394 connection, you can
use the Hollywood DV-Bridge to convert analog video to DV without using a computer. To
begin converting, make sure that the Hollywood DV-Bridge is powered up. Then follow the
procedures below.
Connecting Analog Video Input
1. Connect an RCA (composite) video cable (yellow) or S-Video cable (black) to the Video
Out connector on an analog camcorder, VCR, or TV.
S-Video provides higher quality video capture than composite video, and should be
used if the analog device has an S-Video output.
Note: Some TVs do not have Video Out connectors. For specific details, check the doc-
umentation included with your TV.
2. Connect the other end of the video cable to the corresponding Video In connector on
the front of the Hollywood DV-Bridge.
Note: Some camcorders do not have connectors for standard video cables. If your
camcorder is not compatible with standard video cables, use the cables that were
included with the camcorder.
