Q: Using PowerBook G3 like a TV (for video)?

Hello,

I have a "Lombard Edition" PowerBook G3. With its large screen and nice speakers, I think it would be great for reviewing footage I have taken on my DV camera (a Panasonic PV-GS31). The camera has a cable with an 1/8" jack and 3 RCA-type plugs - standard for viewing on a TV set.

So, I'm wondering if someone knows of an adaptor or solution where I can plug the audio and video RCA jacks into a port on the back of the computer. That way I can press play on the camera and view the video on the screen and hear the audio through the speakers.

I don't have a TV in my place, so this would be a great thing to be able to do! Thanks for any advice,

Jim

PowerBook G3, Mac OS 9.2.x
