[X-Newbies] cctv hookup to display

[Robert MacLeay]

As far as I am aware, none of the current Macs have dedicated video-in.

With my 24" iMac, I am using a USB device to feed video into my Mac; it
works quite well.  There are a number of such on the market; which device
you would want depends on the actual output format of your reader.
