2. Identify the Connections
You need to connect four devices: PC, camcorder, video capture device (an example is shown below), and VCR. All camcorders carry a standard video-out connector--a single RCA jack, usually yellow, that works with a standard composite video cable. In most instances, they include a pair of RCA jacks (one red, one white), too, for audio out. Hi-8 camcorders come with an S-Video-out connector and cable, as well (see inset).
Camcorders also require a remote control mechanism. It may be an infrared connection, a tiny jack labeled LANC, or--in the case of Panasonic camcorders--a five-pin connector.
Video-out cables usually come with your camcorder; audio cables accompany your PC's sound card; and remote control cables are included with video capture hardware.
