NOTE:
All plug-in cards are static sensitive and are packed in
antistatic materials. Please keep the card in its
packaging until you are ready to install.
You are likely to need a at blade and /or a cross head
screwdriver for the installation of the VisionAV card; it
would be useful to have these to hand before you begin.
Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch o at
the mains and disconnect all the cables connected to the
computer, noting the positions for accurate
reconnection. Remove the PC cover.
For the VisionAV/F and VisionAV/B capture cards, locate a
vacant PCI Express slot (x4 or higher) on the
motherboard and remove the blanking plate (retain all
screws).
If the VisionAV/H is to be installed in a short form
computer, two locations are required. The VisionAV/H and
the AM2 (Audio Module) should be installed near to each
other to enable both cards to be connected together using
the ribbon cable supplied. The AM2 does not require a slot
on the motherboard.
If you are in doubt consult your motherboard
documentation to correctly identify a PCI Express slot. If
the card is forced into a 32 or 64 bit PCI or PCI-X slot it will
be irreparably damaged when the system is
powered up and the warranty will be void.
Reconnect all cables to the PC then connect a DVI cable
(not supplied) distributing the DVI source signal to the
connector on the VisionAV capture card.
A standard denition signal can be connected to the RCA
connector on the VisionAV.
An audio feed can be connected to the Audio Module via
the Audio Breakout Cable.
Insert the Datapath CD into your CD drive, the CD will
autorun and display the following dialogue. If the CD
drive fails to autorun browse the CD and locate and
double click the setup.exe le. Click on Install
Software... and follow the Installation Wizard
Instructions as prompted.
