The idea of this video is simple, it allows you to confirm that you have wired up your audio system the right way round. You
may not think its important but imagine playing a fighting game and you
hear the enemy to your right so you turn right to fire only to get shot
because they were actually on your left side !
I discovered that my L & R cables were mixed up at the back of my computer desk and have been for months.
My speaker test video :
It may help if you play this video in Full screen mode.
When Left shows on screen there should be a voice in the LEFT speaker ONLY.
If you can hear "Left channel" in the right speaker only then this means your L & R cables are swapped over.
If you can hear "Left channel" in BOTH speakers then this means you have a short circuit OR you are using a MONO sound system.
If your system IS correct then no point in watching all 4 minutes of the video.
It will then play a voice in
the left and right speakers alternating every 2 seconds from left to
right, this will play for 4 minutes giving you plenty of time to fiddle
around with cables etc.
The time-lapse clouds I have used as a background were filmed using my modified Canon Ixus 430 camera.
On my system the "line output" from the back of the PC soundcard was connected via a switchbox (A/B Input Source Switch Box TC-12 (Part #: 50-6220) that allows me to either send the sound to my Creative Labs speakers OR to my Hi-Fi.
The Red RCA female was connecting through to the white RCA Male that was on the end of this switch box in other words Right and Left audio were being swapped !
Hope this test video is of use to someone out there.
Thanks
