1. Product Introduction
Thank you for choosing IEI IVC-100G/100, IVC-200G/200 and IVC-120G/120 &
PM-1056 video capture cards. These cards enable users to capture live video
from video source such as the CCTV camera. These cards are PCI compliant.
IVC-100G/100 and IVC-200G/200 have four video input channels and an LED
indicator. VC-120G/120 has 16 channels and an LED indicator. This unique
LED feature makes IVC-100G/100, IVC-200G/200 and IVC-120G/120 &
PM-1056 ideal candidates for multi-cards surveillance systems. The
patent-pending LED feature provides a solution to system upgrading and
management. With the help of the LED, users can quickly assign an ID number
to the card for identification, which makes onsite maintenance easier and more
efficient. The operation and driver for PM-1056-4P/4PB/4PG/4PGB and
IVC100/100G, and that for PM-1056-16P/16PG and IVC-120/120G, are the
same.

1.7 Notes
•IVC-100G/100/200G/200/120G/120 will take up a set of IRQ and
I/O Address. Please make sure there is a free set of IRQ and I/O
address for IVC-100 to use. The IRQ of the PCI slot can be
modified from the CMOS setting of the motherboard. Please make
the necessary adjustment according to the user manual for the
motherboard.
•If the system has installed other video capture cards before, please
make sure the previous driver has been removed from the system.
•Microsoft DirectX 8.1 or above. The setup program (ieisetup.exe)
will prompt you to install DirectX 8.1 after the program has
completed the driver installation. Therefore, IEI strongly
recommend you to run ieisetup.exe for driver installation.
•Users of Windows XP do not need to install DirectX 8.1 since
Windows XP includes DirectX 8.1.
•About DirectX 8.1:
DirectX 8.1 is a Microsoft shareware, which will help improve
multimedia experiences on most PCs. This latest version of
DirectX offers updated graphics, faster frame rates and more
immersive audio when running programs rich in multimedia
contents. Since DirectX 8.1 is a system component, it cannot be
uninstalled without uninstalling your OS.

3. Installation Procedures
3.1 Driver Installation
IEI driver installation program makes the driver installation of multiple cards an
easy job. The steps of driver installation are described as below:
Steps:
i. Adjust the jumper setting of the video capture card.
ii. Insert the video capture card(s) into the computer system, and then turn
on the computer.
iii. The system will find a new device on the system and ask you to install the
driver. Click Cancel to close the dialog box.
iv. Run the program ieisetup.exe from the IEI Installation CD.
v. The window will show a welcome message for installation. Click the Next
button for next step.
vi. The window will then show a message of current configuration, click Next
to start the installation.
vii. The window will show a message to warn you that the software does not
contain a Microsoft digital signature. Click Yes to continue the installation.
viii. There will be another window message to ask you to install an audio driver.
Click Yes to continue.

16
ix. For multi-card system, you will be asked to install video and audio drivers
for every card in your system. Click Yes to continue the installation.
x. After the driver has been successfully installed, click Finish.

17
xi. Restart your computer when you finish installing DirectX.
You can also install a driver first before plugging the video capture
card into the computer. After that, install DirectX and then shut down the
computer. Adjust the jumper setting of the video capture card and plug
the video capture card into the computer. Turn on the computer. The
system will ask if you want to install audio and video drivers for each card.
Click Yes to complete driver installation.

18
3.2 Check for Installed Driver
If you have any doubt about whether the driver is properly installed
or not, follow the steps below:
1. Right click My Computer and click Properties.
2. Choose Hardware. Then click on Device Manager.
3. Double click the mark “Sound, video and game controllers”.
You should be able to see a list of the audio and video driver of
each video capture card.
The above procedures are performed in Windows 2000 server.
