Once you have installed the camcorder drivers you are ready to
connect your camcorder to the Dual Link Card. Follow these steps to
ensure that the operating system recognizes your camcorder and you
are familiar with the camcorder driver your system is using.
1. Use the External Power source supplied with your camcorder.
Many camcorders do not have enough power when running from
the battery.
2. Turn the Camcorder ON to the VCR/VTR mode.
3. Connect the DV Cable supplied with the Dual Link to any available
port on the Dual Link card and your digital camcorder.
4. Your Camcorder will be recognized, as a new device by
Windows and the camcorder driver will be loaded. In some
cases Windows may ask for the Windows 98, WinME, WinXP or
Win2000 CD to load other needed files.
5. Open Device Manager (Start,
Settings,Control Panel, System,
Device Manager Tab). Check to see
how your camcorder is listed. If you are
using Win98 your camcorder will appear
as "1394 DV Camcorder" appears under
"Sound, Video and Game Controllers".
You are using the Texas Instruments
camcorder driver. If you are using
Win98SE, WinMe, WinXP or Win2000
your camcorder will appear in Device
Manager under "Imaging Device"
and will be listed as a "DV camera or
VCR". Your camcorder is using the
Microsoft camcorder drivers.
You can also connect Firewire drives/drive kits, Firewire webcams and
any other Firewire device to the Dual Link PCI Card.
