Select input source
Click on the menu button and select "Find Channel"
from the context menu. Double-click on the entry
"Composite (PAL)", if your video source is con-
nected to the yellow RCA plug, or "S-Video (PAL)", if
it is connected to the black 4-pin Mini-Din connec-
tor.
You should now see live video from your video
source and hear the audio.
Record video
• To record the video, click on the
Record
button. A filename is automatically gener-
ated and the video recorded to hard disk.
• When you are finished recording, click the
Record
button again.
Location of recordings
By default the recorded video files are saved in
C:\Users\Public\Videos
. This can be
changed in the WinTV Settings on the
Capture
tab.
Recorded Video Formats: .TS or .MPEG
The default recording format is .TS (transport stream). These are MPEG-2 files but
with a .TS file extension. If you have a video editing program which requires files of
the type MPEG, click on the Settings menu, click the "Advanced Options" tab and set
"Auto convert to MPG". Your recordings will now be made in an MPEG-2 format with
the file extension .MPG
Play recorded file
To play back a recorded file in WinTV, click on the folder button and select the file to
play.
Image Capture
To capture still images from video, click the ‘Snapshot’ button. The configuration of
the formats for still image capture is in the
Capture
settings. To configure, click the
Settings
button, then click on the 'Capture' tab. You will see the settings for image
capture under
Snapshots
. You can chose between BMP and JPEG formats. The for-
mat of the file name will be: capture_'date'_'time'.jpg
Eliminate delay of video
By default the video in the preview window is displayed with a delay of 1 to 2 sec-
onds, because it is buffered on the hard disk. If the delay is not desired, you can turn
it off. In WinTV click on the
Settings
button and select the "Advanced Options" tab.
Set the check mark on "Use Game Mode for analog". Close the WinTV application
and restart Windows.
Features of the Hauppauge Capture application include live video pre-
view, record video, snapshots, simple cuts and upload of recordings to
YouTube. The bit rate for recordings can be set up to 10 MBit/s and the
recording length can be set by a timer.
As in WinTV v8, the recording format is 'TS'. Unlike in WinTV v8, the de-
layed display of video cannot be turned off, and it is not possible to automatically
convert the recorded file from the TS format to the MPG format.

Checking the Device Driver in Device Manager
To check if the device driver is installed cor-
rectly, open the Windows Control Panel and
select 'System', then Device Manager. Pro-
vided the USB-Live2 device is connected to
the USB port and the driver is installed, you
should see the entry "Hauppauge USB-
Live2" in the category "Sound, video and
game controller". Also, in the category
"Human Interface Devices" you will see the
entry "Hauppauge USB-Live2 Function Not
Used".
If no video is displayed
A common cause, why no video is dis-
played, are incorrect cable connections.
For example: When connecting a video
recorder with a SCART-to-RCA adapter la-
beled "Video In", that is used to bring video
into the video recorder, there will be no video with USB-Live2, as the video signal has
the wrong direction. You must use a SCART-to-RCA adapter labeled "Video Out" to
connect to USB-Live2.
The behavior of WinTV v8, if no signal is present:
• In normal mode: A picture with "No Signal" is displayed in the preview window.
• In Game Mode: The preview window stays just black.
If no video is displayed in WinTV v8:
• Make sure the video source is switched on.
• Make sure you are using appropriate cables to connect your video source.
• Make sure the correct video channel is selected in WinTV v8 ("Composite" or "S-
Video").
• Make sure the video format that was set for the selected video channel matches the
video format of the actual signal, for example PAL or NTSC. You can add video
channels with certain video formats in the WinTV Settings on the 'Devices' tab. Se-
lect the "USB-Live2" device and click on the "Tuner Setup" button.
In case a video signal was not present when WinTV v8 was started, it is not sufficient
to connect the video signal or to turn on the video source. You must also restart the
live video preview, for example like this:
Click on the Stop button
, then click "Start Live Video"
(TV icon).
