Congure Stream Catcher for a DVI source
While the capture device features a DVI In port, the Stream Catcher software can
support multiple sources. If the source you’ve connected is not displaying in the
preview window, it’s likely that Stream Catcher is congured for a dierent source.
Follow the below steps to congure Stream Catcher for your DVI source.
1. Click the Settings button on the menu.
2. Click the Device Settings button.
3. Select the pull-down menu below Video Source and choose DVI from the list, and
click the OK button.
4. Your video source will now appear in the preview window.
Note: This device will not capture HDCP protected content. If your DVI source is
HDCP protected, such as a retail Blu-ray Disc®, the video preview window will not be
visible.
Manually record video
1. Press the Record button when you want to capture video. The frame around the
video window will turn red, to indicate that content is being recorded.
