Setting Up the SoniClear System
The SoniClear Tablet Recorder system is ready to use for video recording without the
need for additional configuration steps. If you are using SoniClear software with your
own computer, you will need to perform the configuration and installation steps listed in
this section.
Hardware Requirements
The SoniClear video recording requires a computer that has the following minimum
hardware specifications:
-
Intel-based desktop or laptop computer with i5 or i7 processor.
-
Windows 7 Operating System (64-bit recommended).
-
System has been tested and passes the DPC Latency requirements listed in the
SoniClear Installation Guide or the Court Recorder Installation Guide.

Network Address Configuration
If the camera is connected to the laptop (either directly using a crossover cable, or
indirectly through an Ethernet switch), the laptop will need to be configured to connect to
the camera without the use of an Ethernet router to assign an IP address. This is
accomplished by setting a fixed IP address in the laptop network settings (Windows 7
instructions):
1.
Open the Network and Sharing Center: select Start/Control Panel/Network and
Sharing Center.
2.
Click Change Adapter Settings link in left column.
3.
Double click on Ethernet adapter entry to open the Connection Status dialog for
that adapter.
4.
Click the Properties button.
5.
Double click on the Internet Protocol Version 4 entry to open the Local Area
Connection Properties dialog.
6.
Select the option “Use the following IP address”.
7.
Set the IP address to 192.168.0.20 (or similar address on the same “subnet”).
8.
Uncheck the option “Validate settings upon exit”.
