It isnt something you hook up. You film what you want to infront of the green screen, then when editing the video you choose some way to filter out that shade of green and replace it with what you want there. Its really easy if your using a mac, if your trying to with a pc try adobe.How to connect a green screen?
I think you may misunderstand the mechanism by which a green screen works. A green screen is literally a green sheet or green-painted surface which the actors act in front of. It is not connected to anything, and does not physically display the pictures itself. A computer program such as most common video editors will cut out all the green color from the video and replace it with another video or image or make it transparent. This is why blue screens exist: if an actor needed to wear a green shirt, then a green screen filter on the software would also cut out the shirt from the video.
Also, a tip from someone who has used green screens himself: You can go to office depot or Bi-Mart or wherever and get a few neon green poster papers for about $1 each, and if you tape them all together or mount them to create a green screen, you will save a lot of money.
