1. Connection Guide
1.1 VCAP800 USB 2.0 Video Capture Connection Diagram
Important
•Please make sure you connect the VCAP800 USB video capture to the OUTPUT
port of your video source device. USB video capture does NOT workwith the video
input port on your video source device.
•If the video OUTPUT port on your video source is svideo female, then you need to
get S-VHS (S-Video) extension lead (male to male). If the video OUTPUT port on
your video source device is composite AV (Yellow, red, white) female, then you
need to use the included RGB to RGB lead (male to male). If your video port is
SCART, then you will need SCART to RGB convertor or cable.
•Please be advised that you ONLY need one of the following connections
1)CompositeAV (yellow, red, white)+audio
2)Svideo +audio
Please do NOT connect AV and Svideo at the same time. You only need one of
them.
1.2 Composite-Video
Connect the yellow composite video input to the corresponding output of your video source.
Also connect the RCA audio inputs with the audio outputs of the source device. You need to
use the included composite AV cable.

1.4 SCART and Composite AV
Connect the SCART to composite AV adaptor to the SCART output of your video source. And
then connect the USB 2.0 video capture to the SCART to composite AV adaptor via the
included Composite AV cable (Yellow, Red, White cable)
IMPORTANT!
Most of the SCART to RCAleads on the market works by submitting a signal from RCAto
SCART. It is not good for the USB video capture. You need to make sure that the lead is
“SCART OUT” i.e. signal goes from SCART to RCA. If you have a switchable SCART to 3 X
phono or switchable SCART to phono adaptor, please make sure the cable or the adaptor is
switched to output composite AV signal.
1.5 SCART and S-Video
Connect the SCART to S-Video adaptor to the SCART output of your video source. And then
connect the USB 2.0 video capture to the SCART to S-Video adaptor via S-Video cable (not
included)
IMPORTANT!
Most of the SCART to S-Video leads on the market works by submitting a signal from S-Video
to SCART. It is not good for the USB video capture. You need to make sure that the lead is
“SCART OUT” i.e. signal goes from SCART to S-Video. If you have a switchable SCART to
S-Video or switchable SCART to S-Video adaptor, please make sure the cable or the adaptor
is switched to output S-Video signal.
