Texas Instruments camcorder
driver. If you are using
Win98SE, WinMe or Win2000
your camcorder will appear in
Device Manager under
“Imaging Device” and will be
listed as a “DV camera or
VCR”. Your camcorder is
using the Microsoft camcorder
drivers.
3.) CONNECTING THE DIGITAL VIDEO CAMCORDER
Once you have installed the camcorder drivers you are ready to
connect your camcorder to the PYRO Card. Follow these steps
to ensure that the operating system recognizes your camcorder
and you are familiar with the camcorder driver your system is
using.
1. Use the External Power source supplied with your camcorder.
Many camcorders do not have enough power when running from
the battery.
2. Turn the Camcorder ON to the VCR/VTR mode.
3. Connect the DV Cable supplied with the PYRO to any available
port on the PYRO card and your digital camcorder.
