Your Camcorder is a Plug & Play device:

Your camcorder is a plug and play device. It is only present in device manager if it is plugged in and turned on. Your camcorder must appear in Device Manager for Video Studio or any other soft- ware program to use the camcorder. The camcorder must always be “ON” before starting the Video Studio application. If you are not able to Select Ulead Direct Show Capture Plug-in or change Device Control settings, then please check device manager again to be sure that your computer has detected your camcorder. If your camcorder goes into “Sleep Mode” or is turned off, it will dis- appear from Device Manager. If your camcorder is not plugged in to the PYRO card, your computer will not detect it.
