Supplement 1 - Capturing Video
If you have a VCR or camcoder connected via i.LINK (IEEE 1394), you can use
video recorded on a tape as video material. The following procedure captures
audio/video signal and creates an AVI file, so you can convert it into NSP format
using the same procedure shown in “Preparing Video Material” (page 7).
Note: These operations are not necessary to create the demonstration content
shown at the beginning.
Please contact your supplier or Sony sales representative for information on the
video devices that you can use for capturing.
Other video devices may be used, but depending on the device, some
operations, such as shuttle control and cue-up operations, may not be available.

power the VCR on, and insert the desired cassette.
