use the supplied 4-to-6 pin cable to plug your dv-1394 device (such as a dv camcorder or dv deck) into the 1394 connector on the rt.x100 card. the 4-to-6 pin cable will work with most dv devices. some dv-1394 devices have 6-pin connectors (in this case, you'll have to supply your own 6-to-6 pin cable). for a list of compatible dv-1394 devices, see the rt.x customer support section of our web site at www.matrox.com/videoweb/support.
use extra care when plugging in or unplugging the 4-to-6 pin connector. it' very easy to bend the connector pins inside your dv-1394 device, rendering it useless. use only minimal force.
1 plug the 4-pin end of the cable into your dv-1394 device.
2 plug the 6-pin end of the cable into the 6-pin 1394 connector on your rt.x100 card.

in windows xp, the first time you plug in your dv-1394 device, the digital video device dialog box prompts you to select what you'd like windows to do. to avoid having this dialog box appear every time you connect your dv-1394 device, click take no action, select always perform the selected action, then click ok.
