Hardware Installation
CCD Camera Requirements
Use a CCD camera which
has a POWER plug and a
VIDEO jack at the end of
its cable.
Changing Jumper Settings
Before you install AVer EZCapture into your PC and connect
your CCD camera, check first whether or not the card jumper
settings meet the power requirements of the CCD camera.
Check your CCD camera manual or contact your dealer for its
power requirements.
There are two jumper blocks on-board the AVer EZCapture card:
1. "JP4" sets the power output. Follow the diagram below
to properly adjust the jumper setting.
JP4 Jumper Setting
2. "JP3" sets the type of polarity. Make sure that you check the
type of polarity used by the CCD camera before you adjust the
jumper setting and connect the camera.
The figure below shows you how to change the "JP3" jumper
setting.
JP3 Jumper Setting
Note: If your CCD camera is already provided with a
power adapter, do not connect the camera to
AVer EZCapture. Follow the original hardware
connection of your CCD camera.
Installing the AVer EZCapture Card to the PC
Power off your PC, insert the AVer EZCapture card in an
empty PCI expansion slot on the motherboard, and restart
PC.
How to Connect the CCD Camera
Plug the POWER plug from the CCD camera to the AVer
EZCapture "POWER" port. Then, connect the VIDEO jack to the
"VIDEO" port.
Connecting the Video Source
To capture images or video from an external video source, you
need to connect a composite video or S-video source to the
AVer EZCapture card.
Use a standard AV (audio/video) cable if you have a composite
video source and an S-video cable for an S-video source. The
diagram below shows the cable connections.
To capture audio with video, connect an audio cable to the “LINE
IN” port of your sound card and the “Audio Out” socket of the
video device.
If you want to record your own voice while capturing video,
connect a microphone to the “MIC IN” port of your sound card.
