The input sources, which you have not identified, will determine the connections and the software required.

thanks for the response. I wanted to know if the thunderbolt is a 2 way port in and out. I believe the usb port is. I would like to be able to capture video onto my macbkpro. What program would you suggest to capture a video.

To date, my video recording has been limited to recording TV shows. I have used Elgato hardware and software and have found it satisfactory.

I do have a camera that is capable of both still and movie photography. I have used it principally for stills and only dabbled with video looking at playback only on the camera. I have not downloaded any video to the MBP so I cannot offer any guidance there.

Thunderbolt is I/O:
