ASUS Live Video

NOTES

1. ASUS Live Video can only be used with models with a Video Decoder (De-

luxe Combo) and monitors or monitor drivers that are designed for I2C bus
control.

2. ASUS Live Video supports Windows 9x/ME, Windows NT 4.0, and

Windows 2000. For Windows NT/2000, however, the ASUS capture driver
for NT/2000 must be installed first before opening ASUS Live Video (see
Install Video for Windows Capture Driver earlier in 3. Software Setup).

3. With a Deluxe Combo graphics card, ASUS Live Video only supports

Extended Desktop mode if TwinView is enabled.

ASUS Live Video can be used to:

1. View images using your monitor as screen from traditional consumer devices,

such as videocassette players, camcorders, digital cameras, and laser disc players
through the onboard RCA or SVHS VIDEO-IN connectors.

2. Capture live motion video up to 30 frames/second (minimum system require-

ment: Pentium II/266).

NOTE:

You should already have installed DirectX 7 or later to use ASUS Live

(see 3. Software Setup | Install DirectX)

Running ASUS Live Video

To run the utility, click Start and point to Programs and then ASUS Live and then
click ASUS Live.

You may also run ASUS Live by clicking or right-clicking the ASUS Control Panel
icon (see 4. Software Reference | ASUS Control Panel) on the taskbar’s status
area to display the ASUS Control Panel, pointing to ASUS Live Video, and then
clicking it.

Uninstalling ASUS Live Video

To uninstall the software, click Start and point to Programs and then ASUS Live
and then click Uninstall. You may also uninstall the software using the Add/Re-
move Programs Properties dialog box at the Windows Setup tab. See Windows
