he main purpose of the ScanCard II is its
ability to convert VGA/SVGA inputted
data from a computer to S-Video data, thus
showing computer generated graphics on the
screen of a Philips SmartCard TV.
The following are suggested computer connec-
tions to the ScanCard II.
It is always a good idea to remove the TV's,
and the computer's, AC power cords from the
wall socket before beginning the connections.
The VGA Input accepts signals from VGA and
MAC compatible computers without the need for
any additional hardware.
For PC Applications: Plug the VGA cable into
the VGA Input terminal on the back of a commer-
cial TV equipped with the Philips ScanCard II.
Then attach the other end of the VGA cable to the
VGA (RGB) Output on the back of the computer.
(Secure the plugs by tightening the thumb screws.)
Reattach the AC Power cords to the wall sockets
before powering on the units.
For Macintosh Applications: Connect the
MAC/VGA adapter to the RGB Output of a
Macintosh Series computer. Then firmly plug the
VGA cable into both the VGA Input on the TV and
the MAC/VGA adapter on the computer. (Secure
the plugs by tightening the thumb screws.)
Reattach the AC Power cords to the wall sockets
before powering on the units.
Please note: If using an educational 5200 series
Macintosh, the addition of a POWER R adapter
must be installed when making this connection.
