Overview of TVMini+™
Video inputs
TVMini+™ features several video inputs:
• Coaxial TV input
• Composite input (via Breakout cable)
• S-Video input (via Breakout cable)
• RCA Stereo audio input (via Breakout cable)
•Coaxial connection: This is the TV Tuner connection, which can receive digital and analogue TV.
Connect the portable antenna, a cable from a roof-top antenna or a cable from a
CableTV outlet (the latter only works for analogue)
•Composite input: Composite is a widely used standard for connecting video
equipment. This type of connector is often found on camcorders and
VCRs.
•S-Video input: This connection gives a better image quality than composite and is
generally found on mid-range camcorders, VCRs and DVD players. If
you intend to capture video from an analogue source, use this
connection whenever you can.
• Stereo audio IN: TVMini+ card uses conventional RCA plugs
• USB 2.0: For the connection to your Mac

I. Hardware Installation
Connect TVMini+ to a USB 2.0 port of your computer. The stick is thin enough to be used on the left USB 2.0 port
of a MacBook Pro, without covering the Magsafe port.
II. Connecting your video source
1. Coaxial connection
If you receive TV channels via a roof-mounted antenna, an analogue cable service or a portableantenna, you
will most likely want to use the TV input on TVMini+.
Connect your coaxial cable as shown on the illustration below

2. Composite Connection
Digital TV subscribers (Cable, Satellite) can use their digital receiver set top box with TVMini+. You can either
make a connection via S-Video or Composite.
If you wish to capture video footage from a Camcorder, VCR or DVD-Player, a connection with Composite or S-
Video is recommended over the coaxial input tuned to a certain channel.
The diagram below shows a connection via Composite.
3. S-Video Connection
For digital TV subscribers and users wishing to capture video from an analogue source, an S-Video connection is
strongly recommended as it will usually give you a higher picture quality compared to Composite.
Note that S-Video do not carry audio signals, but only video signals. Using the left/right audio connectors and
cables is necessary.
The diagram below shows a connection via S-Video
