Connection Guide
For best results, install the software on the included CD-ROM before
connecting the W-25 to your computer.
Locate a free USB 2.0 port on your computer.
Attach the W-25's USB plug directly to the free USB 2.0 port.
Do not use a USB hub, nor a USB extension cable, as these can interfere with
the webcam's connection to your computer, and compromise performance.
If you're running a compatible operating system (see opposite), the W-15 will
automatically be detected and drivers will be installed. A popup dialog box will
alert you once drivers have been installed.
There is no need to restart your computer if you connect/disconnect the W-15
webcam. Like most USB devices, it supports "hot-swapping".
To physically mount the W-25 Webcam, use the base folded down as a stand,
or fold the base and use it as a clamp to attach the W-25 to your LCD screen
or notebook display.
Placement Tips
Where you put the W-25 is really up to you, but here are a couple of suggestions.
The W-25 will automatically adjust exposure levels (that is, how bright
everything in the image appears to be) unless manually overridden. Thus, if
you're sitting in front of a bright light source (such as a window) and you are
in shadow, the difference in brightness might cause you to 'under expose' and
appear only as a silhouette. We suggest trying to keep everything the camera
sees evenly lit.
Any camera generally gives better results being set up higher than the subject
and looking down, rather then looking up at it. This is particularly true of faces
- it's not so flattering seeing up one's nose! Thus, we suggest mounting the
W-25 level with yourself or slightly above.
Included Software
We've included all the software you'll need to run the W-25 on the included
CD-ROM. Please note that the included software requires a Microsoft
Windows operating system - see Technical Specifications opposite.
Installation
Insert the CD-ROM.
If the program does not run automatically, then open the CD-ROM drive in
Windows Explorer, and double-click "autorun.exe" .
Select your desired language.
Follow subsequent instructions on screen.
Support documentation for the software is available on the CD-ROM.
Please note: The included software is created, licensed and supported by Cyberlink, a leading video software application group. If you
