Installing the Capture Card
You are likely to need a flat blade and /or a cross head screwdriver for the installation of the X
TREME
DV-UHD2 card; it would
be useful to have these to hand before you begin.
Power down the PC (including peripherals). Switch off at the mains and disconnect all the cables connected to the
computer, noting the positions for accurate re-connection.
1.
Remove the PC cover.
2.
Locate a vacant PCI Express slot (x8 or
X
16) on the motherboard and remove the blanking plate (retain all screws).
3.
Reconnect all cables to the PC then connect HDMI cables* (not supplied), distributing the video source signal to the
HDMI connectors on the X
TREME
DV-UHD2
capture card.
4.
Power up the PC and commence the software installation.
How to Connect Input Sources
The X
TREME
DV-UHD2
card has two HDMI connectors, input 1 at the top and input 2 at the bottom. See Fig. 1.
Fig. 1
Care must be taken not to damage the connectors internally by forcing cables into the card (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
Ensure all cables are fully inserted, failure to do so can result in cables falling out and the captured signal being lost.
* Note: It is recommended that only authentic cables, approved and certified by HDMI are used with the X
TREME
DV-
UHD2
card. When capturing 4k60p, Premium Certified cables should be used.
Certified cables have a hologram/QR coded label attached.
