• 2: Ifyou willnot be recordingthe output, connectTitleMaker 3000’svideo
OUT to the VIDEO IN of a monitor. You can use S-video (Y/C) or compos-
ite (RCA-style) cables for this connection. If your television has no VIDEO
input (that is, it has only an RF (cable/antenna) jack, you will need a VCR
or an “RF modulator” to connect TitleMaker 3000 to it.
Connect TitleMaker 3000’s audio OUT (marked L and R) to the monitor’s
AUDIO IN or to an external amplifier and speakers.
n Set the OUTPUT monitor’s input switch.
Important: If the television/monitor you are using has an input selection
switch, set it so it is displaying the correct input. For instance, if you have
connected to the monitor’s VIDEO 1 input jack, you would choose VIDEO
1 as your input. Refer to the manual that came with your monitor for de-
tails.
n Set the Record VCR input.
Important: Set the VCR’s controls so that it will record whatever comes
into its VIDEO IN jack, rather than recording a broadcast channel. Differ-
ent VCRs use different methods to do this. Your VCR’s manual should
explain how, probably in a section that discusses copying tapes from a
camcorder. Here are some commonexamples:
• Most VCRs have an input selector switch that
goes between LINE (or AUX, EXT, A/V, or S)
and TUNER. See the illustration at right.
• Some use a button on the remote control or an
on-screen menu to choose an external line
source.
• Others require that you choose a special channel (like 99 or A1).
• Still others switch automatically when you plug the cable into the VIDEO
IN jack.
n Testthe connections.
Turn TitleMaker 3000, the VCR(s), and the television or monitor on and
press ACCENT + DEMO. You should see a series of titles with various
transitions between them. Press any key to stop the demo.
n Connect CONTROL (GPI) (optional).
The CONTROL (GPI) input allows the unit to be triggered (played) by edit
controllers equippedwith a GPI (General Purpose Interface ). (See Chapter
21.)
n Connect the PREVIEW monitor (optional).
Note: See Chapter 22 todetermine whether you needa PREVIEW monitor.
