I just bought a Camcorder and I intend to use it to digitize. I tried many combinations of connecting a coaxial RF cable which was included with the Camcorder. There is no jack on the camcorder that is labeled video but there is a jack labeled AV OUT. Is there a certain cable I need to connect the camcorder with my computer? I hope the two are compatable. thanksw

Neil, do you have a digitizer already? If so, connect the AV (Audio/Video) OUT to it. I assume that the Auio signal and the Video signal are both sent out via the AV OUT. That may be a problem for you. Best way is to try it and see. Nothing should happen to the digitizer. The worst you'll get is garbage when you try to digitize. GreG

Thanks, It worked when I connected the video in cable to the digitizer. My first picture was at night and it did'nt come out to well. Was that due to the lack of light? The background came out a mixture of green, blue, and red, but no shades of these colors. I will experiment in the daylight. Thanbks neil

Neil, I assume you are using DigiView? If so, you need the camera and subject to be stationary while digitizing all 3 passes. The subject also needs to be well lit. Also, even though your camera is color, I believe you still need to use the color wheel. GreG
