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.
If you do not state both the video source and the input port, the rtvctest prints an error and terminates testing.
Select the format of the video source used for testing. You may select from the sources shown in Table 28-2.:
