Connecting
DVI or VGA output from a computer can be converted to HDV, and the high resolution images can be
recorded to a video. Because the computer screen can be recorded in HD, small text and graphics do
maintain clarity.
* To input VGA output to the VC-300HD/VC-200HD, please use an RGB-DVI conversion connector
and cable to convert to the DVI connector.
* See “DVI” (p. 38) for explanation on DVI.
