Video Capture

USING Video Capture

When using Video Capture you must follow these set-up steps before 

attempting to capture video.

1.   Recommended  VGA  resolution  is  1024  x  768  in  24  or  32-bit 

color.  The  Video  preview  window  will  be  720  x  480  so  you 

need  to  be  at  a  higher  resolution  for  everything  to  fit  on 

your VGA screen.

2.   Be sure that your camcorder is recognized before starting the 

Video  Capture  application.  Video  Capture  will  look  for  your 

camcorder  while  the  application  is  loading.  You  camcorder 

must be plugged-in, turned on to VTR/VCR mode and appear 

in device manager.

3.   On the Video Capture Interface, select “Setup.”
4.   Select the correct Capture Plug-in (Ulead Direct Show Capture 

Plug-in). This is the only capture plug-in that will work for PYRO 

ProDV capture. You will have to close and restart the application 

if you changed the capture plug-in.

5.   On the main menu bar, click the icon that has an EYE covering 

a lm clip. This is the “Preview Mode” button.

6.   If the correct capture plug-in is selected and your camcorder 

is recognized, the Video Capture window will be displayed at 

720  x  480.  If  a  small  capture  window  appears,  something  is 

not  set  up  correctly.  Check  your  setup  or  be  sure  that  you 

are in the Preview mode.

7.   Click  Setup,  select  Device  Control  and  choose  the  device
