Captivator PCI/TV User Guide
Introduction
Captivator PCI, VideoLogic's new video capture card, provides you with high-quality video and
still image capture, plus scaleable video-in-a-window. Captivator PCI TV includes a television
tuner, enabling you to watch and capture live, broadcast-quality video and teletext. Both
packages come with over $300-worth of Prolab multimedia software, plus internet and
communications applications enabling you to videoconference over the internet, within local
networks, through modem calls and over cable-to-cable links.
To run Captivator PCI or PCI TV you need an IBM or fully compatible P90 or above, with at
least 8 MB of RAM, running Windows 95 and DirectDraw. It must comply with the PCI local
bus specification and have a spare PCI bus slot.
Before installing the card, read the file readme.doc in the cappci\win95 folder of the CD if
installing for Windows 95, or readme.txt in the root directory for other operating systems.
