Checking the hardware setup
After connecting your digital camcorder to the computer, check if the device is
detected by your Windows system. If you installed an IEEE-1394 card on your
computer, check also if the card is detected.
To check if the IEEE-1394 card and digital camcorder are detected:
1. Insert your video tape into the camcorder and
switch it on. Make sure it is in playback mode
(usually named VTR or VCR). Check your
camcorder's manual for specific instructions.
2. Open the Control Panel, then open System:
Hardware - Device Manager.
3. Make sure the following device names are listed in the Device Manager.
Under Windows XP:
• 1394 Bus Controller
• <Brand name> DV Camcorder (The brand name depends on the DV
camcorder connected to the IEEE-1394 interface.)
4. If your digital camcorder has been detected properly, it will be listed as a source
device in VideoStudio's Options Panel. In VideoStudio, select the Capture Step
and check if your camcorder is displayed under the Source list in the Options
Panel.
Note: In addition to commonly used Texas Instruments and Microsoft DV drivers, there
are other drivers available. Consult your camcorder's manual for suitable drivers.
