Other Items You Might Need
The following video input/output cables are not included with the Hollywood DV-Bridge.
They are usually included with most camcorders and VCRs.
To connect most DV camcorders to the Hollywood DV-Bridge, you’ll also need a 6 pin to 4
pin 1394/FireWire/i.LINK cable, which is usually included with the camcorder. There is a
slight possibility that you might also need the same type of cable to connect the Hollywood
DV-Bridge to your computer.
You’ll need extra cables if you want to keep input and output devices connected to the Hol-
lywood DV-Bridge at the same time for convenience.
You may need additional kinds of cables if you want to connect additional devices to those
that are connected to the Hollywood DV-Bridge. For example, if you are outputting to a
VCR, you may want to connect a TV monitor to the VCR to view your material. This requires
the right kind of cable, which varies depending on the VCR and monitor. It may be neces-
sary to use a coaxial video cable, which is usually included with VCRs.
To use the Hollywood DV-Bridge with an analog device that only supports mono audio, you
also need a Y-adapter to enable connection of left and right audio cables to the Hollywood
DV-Bridge. A Y-adapter cannot convert mono to stereo, but it prevents the sound from only
being audible in the left or right channel.
These items are widely available in electronics stores.
