INSTALLATION AND DV CONFIGURATION
Setting up Ulead VideoStudio for DV:
1
Connect your camcorder to your IEEE
1394 capture card.
2
Insert your video tape into the camcorder
and turn it on. Make sure it is in the
playback mode (usually named VTR or
VCR). See your camcorder’s manual for
specific instructions.
Setting up DV device control:
1
Click the Global commands button and
click Select Device Control.
2
Select from the Current device list. For
example, if the detected device is
Microsoft DV Camera and VCR,
please select MS 1394 Device Control.
Similarly, if the device is DVcam
Capture (Texas Instruments driver),
select TI 1394 Device Control.
You also need to set up how Ulead VideoStudio will control your camcorder through the IEEE
1394 interface. The appropriate settings depend on your particular capture card.
Note:
When your camcorder is in the record
mode (usually named CAMERA or MOVIE),
you can still capture real-time video directly in
VideoStudio, even if there’s no video tape
inserted.
3
Run Ulead VideoStudio.
4
Click the Global commands button and
select Change Capture Plug-in.
5
Select the appropriate DV Capture Plug-
in. Though this varies depending on your
hardware, the most commonly used one
is Ulead DirectShow Capture Plug-in.
6
Click the Global commands button and
make sure the detected device is listed.
This is located below Change Capture
Plug-in with a black bulleted mark in
front.
