Turn on The deck you want to use in the dub rack

Go to the little video patch panel in back of the rolling rack filled with the tape

decks. Patch the deck you want to use into the TBC input.

In our example we are capturing from VHS so we have the VHS deck patched into

the TBC Input


If you wanted to capture from Hi-8 or Beta just move the BNC from the VHS to the Hi-8 or

Beta or 3/4 Out.

Patch out of the TBC and into the Teranex

Patch out of the TBC and into the Teranex Y/NTSC/PAL IN

You are also going to have to move the audio XLR Left and Right to the correct output for the

deck you want to use

This will be patched into the small audio board on the desk and this will send audio into

the Teranex

Make sure the Thunderbolt cable is connected to the computer (IMac) and the Teranex

Put the tape in the deck

Click on PLAY make sure there is some image on the tape and play for a at least 20 seconds

Turn on the Teranex - wait till it boots up - if on turn off then on again
