VideoSync is a utility designed to allow the video recording of Macintosh monitor images with consumer or professional video camera equipment. VideoSync supports the Macintosh Display Card 4*8, 8*24, 8*24 GC, Apple High Resolution Video Card, and the Macintosh II Video Cards when connected to an AppleColor High Resolution RGB or monochrome monitor or Macintosh 12-inch RGB Display.
The utility is an extension to the Monitors control panel that adjusts the timing of the Apple display card so that the monitor image appears stable when viewed by an external NTSC camera. VideoSync does not create RS-170A timing for directly recording Macintosh screens to VCR. VideoSync can be licensed as a stand-alone utility for video integration applications, or serve as a platform on which to add other video timing alternatives.
The VideoSync utility is not compatible with Power Macintosh and Quadra AV computers. See the Tech Info Library article titled "VideoSync: Not Supported on Power Macintosh" for additional information on compatibilty with the Power Macintosh and Quadra AV computers.
