You may test the SunVideo card without any video device (camera, video disc player, or VCR) connected to an input port. However, if you connect a video device to the card, then you must state the format of the video source and the input port to which the device is connected.


Note -

If you do not state both the video source and the input port, the rtvctest prints an error and terminates testing.
