Installing Multiple Boards
Winnov Videum enables you to install several Videum capture cards into your system. If
you have installed multiple boards in one system, Videum software recognizes the card
and assigns a unique number. Default settings are applied to all boards in the system.
Most video applications such as Windows Media Encoder allow selection of the audio
and video device. Also, see the VFW Driver documentation (provided on the Videum
Software CD) for information on selecting and conguring a capture card.
CONNECTING VIDEO SOURCES
The section describes how to connect your video sources, such as cameras and/or
DVDs. The Videum 1000 Plus family boards capture input from only analog color
cameras (PAL or NTSC).
To connect your video sources, do the following:
1. Connect the camera cable to the Video IN connector.
Note: Videum 1010 Plus provides for only a MXC Video IN connection.
• S-Video IN is used for S-VHS or Hi-8 camcorders.
• Composite Video IN is used for normal cameras and camcorders.
