What Are Input and Output Devices?
When you capture footage, you use an input device (in this case, your camcorder or
video deck) to transfer footage to your computer. For output, you record your
finished movie on an output device (again, a camcorder or VTR). In a basic editing
system, a DV camcorder or deck serves as both an input and output device.
