  • VGA out into FCP

    Posted by Eoin Vincent on June 1, 2007 at 12:53 pm

    I have to capture some video into FCP from a product that has a VGA out.

    I was hoping to use a AV projector as a middle man to my DVmini but it did not have the correct out ports.

    Does anyone know of any low cost way to get a VGA signal into a Mac to use with FCP.

    Thanks

    I know that patch cables exist that convert analog VGA out to RCA video. These used to be bundled with G5s – you could daisy chain your Digital-Analog patch cable into your Analog-RCA patch cable and connect one of your Digital Monitor Outs to a TV. I don’t think these still ship with Mac Pros, but I’m sure you can find the cable somewhere.
