Solving Video Capture Card Problems (page 2)
About That Last Paragraph
The article, Get Those Tapes in Shape by Jim Stinson was very informative and easy to understand, until... the very last paragraph. I would appreciate some further detail and explanation about his comments following "If you edit on a computer..." I cannot figure out what he means to "cable its audio and video outputs", etc.

You're right, Tim; I could have made it clearer. Basically, the idea was to connect cable from the audio and video outputs of your editing system to the recording inputs of your camcorder and press Record, as if to output an edited program back to tape. That will disable the camcorder's lens and microphone; but since you aren't sending any information from the computer, the result will be a black tape with time-code.
