Record Video

With the iSee and its Master Dock, you can record video from a camera, VCR, or other source directly to the iPod, converting it to MPEG-4 video format for later playing on the iSee.

Video Recording Setup

To set up for video recording, you need the iSee, the Master Dock accessory, and the A/V cables.

To set up for video recording:

1. Insert the iPod into the iSee.
2. Insert the iSee into the Master Dock, making sure the connector is seated securely.
3. Connect the audio output of a video source (camcorder, DVD player, satellite TV, VCR, etc.) to the AUDIO IN connector of the Master Dock.
4. Connect the video output of the source to the VIDEO IN connector of the Master Dock.
5. (Optional) To monitor the recording on a TV or computer, connect the Master Dock's AUDIO OUT connector to the audio input of the TV.
6. (Optional) Connect the VIDEO OUT connector to the video input of the TV.

The iSee screen is 320 x 240, but is held internally in 640 x 480 resolution. Video transferred out through the Video Out is at the full 640 x 480 resolution.
