Hi, my name is Vinny Vitiritto, I work for an MSP that is currently swapping out computers for a client (Optical Gallery Arizona). One of the computers is connected to an HDC-7000 and we are unable to find the installation cd anywhere. Is there a chance you can send us the installer for the software related to this device? Thank you!
