About your computer’s video ports
Your AV-equipped Macintosh can display and use video images from a variety
of sources. To view video on your monitor, you connect a video device to the
video input port on the computer. To display or record the computer’s output,
you connect a video device to the video output port.
The Macintosh can work with two major video formats:
m S-video
m Composite video
S-video is a high-quality video format used by many video cameras and
VCRs. Televisions, most videocassette recorders, and laserdisc players use the
composite format.
