Connect your audio/video source to the capture card
If your video source device is DVI, connect your video source cabling (sold separately)
directly to the DVI input port on the capture card.
If your video source device is VGA or HDMI use the appropriate DVI adapter to connect
your audio/video source cabling to the DVI input port on the capture card.
If your audio/video source is component or s-video/composite use the appropriate
breakout cable to connect your audio/video source to the A/V breakout cable input
port on the capture card.
If you would like to capture 2-channel RCA audio along with your video source,
connect one of the A/V breakout cables to your RCA audio source cabling and to the
A/V breakout cable input port.
Note: If you’re capturing component or S-video/composite video, use the same
breakout cable for audio that you used to connect your video source.\
Once you’ve connected your audio/video source turn on your computer.
