Audio/Video input via RCA connection on HP pavillion desktop PC

I have an HP pavillion elite hpe-360z CTO desktop PC running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).  There are a number of interface connections in the front, including USB 2.0, I394, S-video, and RCA (A/V In).  I want to input video from a camcorder into this PC via the RCA connection, but I can't seem to get it to recognize that there is anything connected there.  Is there a driver I need to get to make this work?
Thanks

Hi,
As from your original message which says your machine has a wirefire port. Canon ZR70 use miniDV tapes therefore a firewire cable is a perfect match for this situation. The camera may use 4-pin connector and computer normally uses 6-pin connector. As mentioned above, one cable similar to one of the following cables will definitely help.

Regards.
ps You may need driver for the Canon.

  • Audio Video Input

    I have a QIP6416-2 box and in order to get video, it needs to be connected via the Audio Video jack. I only have one input on my TV so I am unable to connect my DVD player. I was told the he Audio Video inputs on the box are disabled by default so I cannot even use them to to connect my DVD player. Verizon is severely limiting the ability to connect other electronics for the customer's viewing pleasure. Why are they disabled so hey cannot be used?

  • Capturing video input via a usb connection

    i have a usb converter from interview 2.0. one end is the usb input and the other end has two different input options . . . one is an rca video input and the other is an s video input.
    is there a way to get this to work with imovie or something else on my pwerbook?

    iMovie is a video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV camcorders
    .. firewire isn't just a plug and a cable, it is also some protocol standard... that's why you don't need any "drivers" to make iM work with any fw connected camcorder...
    some link to the manufacturer of your "converter" would be useful, I can not google any specs with your infos...
    but I'm afraid, that is a "PC only" product...
    so:
    a) no, doesn't work with iM
    b) needs some additional apps to get any input into a Mac... usb uses a very "slow" and instable connection, so my guess is, it uses some kind of compression, which isn't natively supported by iM (as mpeg) => needs conversion.... not useful.

  • Audio/video input for quicksilver

    Hi, does anyone have recommendations on the best/inexpensive (under $500 if possible) way for me to import audio and video onto a machine that has no audio input jack? I want to be able to capture stuff via rca audio and rca video or rca audio and s-video cables for use with quicktime, imovie and idvd. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You

    Datavideo's DAC-200 converts analog A/V to digital and connects to the computer via FireWire. I've seen it for under $200, so you can compare prices for the best deal.

  • Video Out via RCA....?

    I have a small portable DVD player that I'm thinking of trying to use a "mini monitor"...what would happen if I use this adapter
    http://ak.buy.com/dbassets/prod_lrgimages/358/208017358.jpg
    with my Apple DVI to VGA adapter and plugged it into my DVD video in-port...??
    Would my iMac even detect the DVD player via RCA...?

    Hi psa_mac
    The Late 2006 2.16MHz Intel iMac uses a Mini DVI adapter and I'm not sure about that adapter, but the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter has both S-Video and Composite outputs.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A
    It should work like a TV if the DVD player has a selectable input port?
    Dennis
    I actually have one of those Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter...won't fit my iMac but it does fit my iBook...so I tried it (via RCA) and the iBook did not detect the DVD player....so I'm not sure if Apple has a "mini" DVI to RCA for the iMac since the iMac and iBook ports are different.

  • VHS tape video backup via RCA ports with 8600 Mac

    Hi all,
    Sorry if this is a repeated question but a few years ago my VCR died. I'd like to back up my old VHS videos. My question is, will buying a VCR with S-video ports give me better image quality than RCA ports? Due to the speed on the 8600, will this give me good quality?
    Are there other options that will not be costly?
    thanks for your help.
    web dude

    So this device connects via USB onto my G4 and connect the VCR to it correct?
    From my reading of it, yes. But your G4 will need USB2 (after-market PCI card), not the built-in USB 1.1 ports. There's probably similar devices that work with Firewire which your computer already has, and usually Firewire is the standard for this kind of thing, but you'd have to shop around.
    Does your OS on the G4 support that device?
    When I did this on my G3 using the "wings" card I was restricted to a very small frame size for capture. Read the detailed specs. on that device and what it will allow.
    Do you have a large, fast drive on your G4? I don't know if that device does on the fly encoding, but if it doesn't and you have to store raw files they can take up a huge amount of room (several tens of GB I seem to recall when I did this on my G3 beige).
    Back up a bit. How many tapes do you have to do? Are they truly worth it? If it's movies that you can get cheap DVD equivalents in the $8 bin at a discount store then it's questionable if it's worth your time. As observed, you're not going to get great quality off tape. If you only have a few family tapes consider getting them done at a place that does this commercially. A friend just had a family video done at a place nearby and it it didn't cost too much. I didn't ask how much but it was very affordable and not as much as it would have cost me to get a similar setup going on my G4. Yes, if you're doing 20 years of home videos then it might be cheaper.
    Final storage media? If you're burning to DVD then make sure you get good quality (Taiyo Yuden if possible) and make duplicates.

  • Video input via firewire

    This seems to be a common question with only expensive solutions.
    It cost me $40.00 (Canadian) to export video from iBook to TV via 'Apples Video Adapter Kit'. But it's going to cost about $200.00 to get video into my iBook via 'MyTV' or 'EyeTV' type products?
    There's got to be a cheaper way but I can't find it.
    As far as I understand it's even more expensive, about $350.00 or $400.00 to input video through Firewire, but appearantly that's the only way to record live to iMovie.
    I bought an iSight, and it's wonderful, but it's not like I can take it camping without the iBook. lol
    Anybody have a cheap solution? I'd settle for video in USB at this point and worry about Firewire later.
    Or simply correct my ignorance.

    Hi Q_ball,
    What exactly are you trying to do? Do you have a video camera that you want to put the media on the iBook? Are you trying to get TV on your iBook?
    "It cost me $40.00 (Canadian) to export video from iBook to TV"
    Yes, this to mirror your iBooks display on a TV. The eyeTV is to take TV shows from the TV (analog, cable, etc) and put it on your iBook. The newest models let you also hook up your game console.
    "As far as I understand it's even more expensive, about $350.00 or $400.00 to input video through Firewire, but appearantly that's the only way to record live to iMovie."
    I am sorry, what are you talking about? Where do you get these figures? Are you talking about getting it from a video camera? Most video cameras have both FireWire and USB 2.0. iMovie works seamlessly with FireWire camcorders, but USB is a different story. Do you have a camcorder or are you in the market of buying one? I hope I don't sound rude, I just don't understand what you want. What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

  • Video input via USB?

    I know I can't input to iMovie via USB.
    But I have a Pinnacle analog to USB video converter/adapter that I'd like to use to import video from VHS tapes to mac.
    The Mac doesn't seem to recognize the signal.
    Is there a way to manually select the source?
    Any suggestions on an encoder, I also own Final Cut Express , 2but never installed it.
    Thanks,
    -T

    Yes, pinnacle software is definately not mac compatible, some of their hardware devices seem to indicate mac compatibility via firewire however.
    What you are viewing are their packages that bundle the capture device and variations of their editing software, which is the basis for windoze MovieMaker.
    I am looking for anyone who might have knowledge on how to utilize the video signal as the pinnacle capture device delivers it via usb.
    TIA

  • Best audio/video input device

    I am trying to find a good choice for my wife's Mac mini. I tried a couple that didn't work and went to the Apple store in Walnut Creek but they were not able to get either of the input devices I brought in to work. They also had none for sale in the store. They suggested searching on the internet but that has not been to successful either. Any mentions of ones that you know work with the Mac mini would be great.
    Thanks

    If your TV and Laptop both have the VGA socket on i.e it looks the same at both ends, then any VGA monitor cable will do the job, no need for any extras. Easiest thing is to do if possible is pinch a cable off sometning else to test. These cables are not a lot of money so don't be foolded into buying one of those super premium pro cables, it's really not necessary.
    Audio wise you only have the headphone jack out on the laptop, and the tv probably has component in (RCA sockets) thats the norm anyway so you need to get a Phono to 3.5mm Stereo Jack lead of sufficint length.
    something like this I'd imagine http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=31700&doy=18m8 (sorry its a uk site)
    Or if you have a Stereo system especially a surround one then you can rig the audio to that which will be even better
    You will need to check the back of the TV or the manual to confirm this. If you took the manual and possibly the laptop into any decent TV store they should be able to sort it out.

  • How do I monitor the Line-In (Analog) input via my connected speakers?

    I'd like to do this in order to hear audio coming from another device on-top of the audio already coming out of my Mac. On a Windows box, I would simply mark the checkbox for the input in the sound settings and the input is heard over attached output speakers, etc.
    Beavis2084

    Check the volume setting in the "Input" tab of "Sound" system preference. If it's still too low, run Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder. Set "Properties For" to the audio input and make sure the Audio Input sliders are all the way to the right. The Mac uses line-level audio input, so if you are using a microphone you may need a per-amp or iMic

  • Connection​s questions - Pavillion desktop and Samsung LCD TV

    I have a Pavillion a1487c with a radeon X1650 series video card. It has 512 MB and two DVI connections, (NO VGA). My television is a Samsung LN-S4051DX with 2 HDMI, Component, and a PC VGA connection. I think the Sansung Manual says I can not connect to the HDMI onthe TV.
    What is the best way to connect the PC to the TV?

    As far as I can see, it hasn't anny sense to react, beause the question is dated in the year 2009. 

  • Video Input Feature

    I'm writing this, even though Apple devs & engineers may never see it.
    Apple, please make your iMac have a video-input via HDMI, and create a shortcut that would allow the iMac to switch to another input (similar to Mission Control's multiple desktops).
    This is an incredibly simple task that Apple is more than able to implement with little cost, please please please do this. Or please work with intel on the Thunderbolt connection, or give us one mini-display port back. A bit disappointed I spent this much on a computer that lost basic a feature it didn't need to lose.

    Fine by me. Now I alrdy have a genuine window and the problem still occur.
    I already test both the hdmi and the dvi but the result still the same. still no signal or no video input. And I also test the desktop on other monitor and the result problem pointed at the graphic card.

    as long as you take all the cables out one by one carfully without more then a few pounds of force with a slight wiggle as they come up its not that hard to do then take the whole PSU and the gpu to your friends house to see if it works
    hell if you dont want to plumb the whole unit into his rig on the main 20/24 pin connector find the green cables pin and any neer by black ground cable and jump your psu with a paperclip in the wholes and just connected to your graphics card in his case and psu outside his case to only power your card and flip the power switch to turn it on quite easy (10 mins to do max)!
