ubSwitch Utility

In order to use a DV camcorder with this controller,

Microsoft's FireWire 400 driver must be installed in the

system.  We have supplied an easy to use utility that

allows switching between Microsoft's driver and the

FireWire 800 driver.  

Before using this utility, unplug all

devices from the FireWire 800 PCI

 board

.

Click 

Start

Programs

Unibrain ubcore

Tools

 then

ubSwitch

.

2.

Right click the 

ubSwitch

 icon located in the system

tray by the clock.

3.

Click the 1394 adapter

 

that you want to switch, then

click on 

Microsoft 1394 Drivers

.

Note

: If your system has multiple 1394 adapters

installed, make sure that you click on the 1394

adapter that the camcorder will be plugged into.

4.

Windows will display an information box when the

driver is ready for use.  It may take a few seconds for

this box to appear.  Wait for this box to appear then

connect your DV camcorder.

Note

follow the same procedures, but in step 3 instead of
