Device Output (to TV, projector, nonlinear editing card)
S-Video port output:
- PREPATATION
Check if your video adapter contains S terminal. S terminal is first created by JVC in the second half of 1980s, now it is widely incorporated by video adapter manufacturers; at present, TV-Out function in most video adapters is realized through S terminal, which generally is marked as TV-Out, S-video or VID-Out. It I needed to note, at present, non-standard 5 pin S terminal that is adopted by some video adapters can also use standard 5 pin S terminal cable. Here gives a description of Colorful® GeForce 4 MX440-8X CV edition video adapter, which uses standard 5Pin S terminal. At present, most TV (projector/nonlinear editing card) contains video input (Video-In) port or S-video connector, either of them can realize input of video signal.
Based on the available connector of the hardware, you should buy the following cable for connection:
- RCA two wire cable 10s, or you can buy based on the distance from TV (projector/nonlinear editing card) to computer, which is available on the electronic market place from 2 meters to 50 meters, the price is RMB 2/m. (The picture is for reference only, be careful to choose mail or female connector for correct connection)

- S-terminal to RCA cable

- RCA to RCAs connector.(The picture shows a 1 to 2, there is 1 to 1 in the market place)

- Standard audio jack to RCA connector

- If the TV (projector, nonlinear editing card) of the audience contains S terminal, they can buy a prolonging cable with S terminals at both ends, which is rare for longer distance.

- WIRING:
Wiring is very simple. Use the connectors as required for the connection. For example, use the S terminal of S terminal to RCA cable to connect video adapter, use one of the RCA to connect one wire of the video cable through RCA to RCA connector, use standard audio jack to RCA connector to connect the audio card output port on the computer, then connect another wire of the video cable. Then connect two RCA connectors of another end of the video cable with the Video-in and Audio port on TV (projector, nonlinear editing card); be sure that the wire to adapter must be connected to the Video-In port on TV (projector, nonlinear editing card), this is easy because the video cable contains different colors.
- SOFTWARE SETTING:
Before setting the adapter, shut down computer at first; connect S-terminal cable to S-terminal on computer and TV (projector, nonlinear editing card), then power on computer and TV (projector, nonlinear editing card), which should be switched to S terminal video input.
Setting of GF video adapter: Before powering on the computer, connect TV-out from TV (projector, nonlinear editing card) to TV-out on the adapter, and you must power on TV (projector, nonlinear editing card) (before setting the software, please power on TV (projector, nonlinear editing card) and set to AV channel, otherwise the software can not detect the TV (projector, nonlinear editing card), and you probably can not see the options for setting).After the computer enters into the OS, right click on the desktop, select "Property" item from the pop up menu. Enter into "Display" dialog and click "Advance" in Setting tab, then you can see "NView" options.

In the "Nview" options, you can see many settings related to multiple screen display. In "NView" mode, "Standard" disables this function. "Horizontal span" meaning the complete view is split horizontally into two halves, each is output and displayed in two devices. "Duplicate" allows the view to show simultaneously in two devices. "Vertical span" means the complete view is split vertically into two halves, each is output and displayed in two devices. Since we primarily want to use VJDirector to show the broadcasting content on TV (projector, nonlinear editing card), so we check the "Vertical span" option. Then we select the computer monitor as the main displaying screen from "Display" dropdown box.
When setting completed, click "Apply" in right bottom corner, a new display setting dialog will appear, then select "OK". It is needed to note, if the resolution of the TV screen is set to a very high value, it can not display the full content, but only that in left top corner. By far, we have set the video adapter with video output feature (TV-Out).
Setting of ATI video adapter:
Right click on desktop, select "Property - Setting - Advanced"

Select "Superposition" - theatre mode

Select "Theatre mode", "full screen", "4:3" respectively (if your TV (projector, nonlinear editing card) is wide screen, select "16:9")

After setting completed, click OK. In Display, setting has been adjusted like this.

It is ok to set TV property to default.

By far, setting of ATI video card is over.
- SOFTWARE OPERATION:
Click the secondary display window of the software, drag it to the TV (projector, nonlinear editing card) screen (enters through the monitor margin). By double clicking this window, you can display it in full screen. Thus it realizes output to TV (projector, nonlinear editing card); you can switch your operation through the monitor display. And playing in this manner will not need encoding, so the operation can be performed on a computer without high configuration.
