Question
How do I connect the Sender to my PC?
Answer
- Find out if your PC has an S-Video output or not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video
- If it does, you merely need an S-Video to RCA Composite adapter/cable-any electronics store should have those.
Once you have connected the Sender using that cable, follow the instructions that came with your PC or video card to activate that output.

- If it does not, you need a VGA to TV converter. That is a box that goes between your PC and its monitor; they should cost no more than $50.
Most VGA to TV converters will have an RCA Composite output- connect that to the Sender. Then set your PC's resolution to 640x480 or 800x600: http://www.google.com/search?q=vga+tv+converter
