OVERVIEW
1. USB CONNECTOR – Connect this end of VIDEO 2 GO to the included USB extension cable then connect
the extension cable to an available USB 2.0 port on your computer (preferably a port on the rear panel).
2. MULTI-CABLE CONNECTOR – Connect this end of your included multi-cable into VIDEO 2 GO. The
multi-cable will be connected to your playback device.
3. AUDIO INPUTS – Use standard RCA cables to connect these left and right audio inputs to the left and
right audio outputs of your playback device. Be sure to match the colors properly – red to red, white to
white.
4. COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT – Use a standard composite video cable to connect this input to the
composite video output of your playback device. (If your playback device has an S-Video output, you may
connect that to the S-VIDEO INPUT instead.)
5. S-VIDEO INPUT – Use a standard S-Video cable to connect this input to the S-Video output of your
playback device. (Generally, S-Video connections are of a better quality than composite video, so we
recommend using this one if your playback device has an S-Video output.)
6. SNAPSHOT BUTTON – As your video is playing in your software, you can press this button on VIDEO 2
GO to capture a screenshot of the current frame. (This is useful for using as a thumbnail/screenshot when
posting your video online.) See the SNAPSHOT BUTTON section for instructions on how to do this for the
software you are using.
