By linking the VineGen between your computer and your VGA monitor, and connecting a 12v power supply, a video signal can be taken to a television or video - for display or video recording. By feeding a video signal (from a camcorder or VCR) into one of the inputs, you can then overlay titles and graphics, and re-record the results.
