Hollywood DV-Bridge User’s Guide • Using Hollywood DV-Bridge With a PC • Page 17

Note:

 The Hollywood DV-Bridge utilizes DV drivers that are built into your operating sys-

tem. Once the unit is connected to your computer and powered on, the PC should rec-
ognize it and load the appropriate drivers automatically. You can verify whether the 
Hollywood DV-Bridge is installed properly by checking the Windows Device Manager. 
The unit should appear under the “Imaging Device” categor y as a “Microsoft DV Cam-
era and VCR,” “Generic DV Camera and VCR” or similarly-named device. Windows may 
also add additional entries to the Device Manager when the Hollywood DV-Bridge is 
connected. This is normal. If the Hollywood DV-Bridge does not appear in the “Imaging 
Device” categor y, double-check the 1394 connection, disconnect power and reconnect 
power. If this does not work, check your hardware’s documentation to see if a third-
par ty DV camcorder driver is installed, and whether instructions are provided on how 
to remove the driver. 

For detailed information on the Device Manager, please refer to your Windows Help 

documentation.

For up-to-date driver troubleshooting information, go to the Interactive Knowledge area 

of Dazzle’s website, as described on page 63, later in this guide.
