Installing Your VCR To Your Video Capture Board

To hook up your VCR to your video capture board all you will need is an A/V cable (A/V stands for audio/video). This cable is shown in Figure 14 and comes with the VCR.

Your VCR will probably have six female RCA connectors on its back: video in, video out, left audio in, left audio out, right audio in and right audio out. We will need the outputs, i.e., the connectors labeled as ”line out“. Just connect one end of the A/V cable to the corresponding connectors on the VCR. Simply follow the colors on the connectors or the code we mentioned before:

  • Yellow: Composite video.
  • Red: Audio right channel.
  • White: Audio left channel.

Now install the other end of the cable to your video capture board. This is very simple to be done, just connect the connectors that use the same color code. You can see this on Figures 17 and 18.

If you are using a video card with VIVO function, the installation is a little bit different.
