Installation procedure of video capture cards resembles the installation procedure of standard PCI or PCI-express (sound, network, etc.) cards.

Note

Standard precautions should be observed while installing the video capture cards into a computer case.

Install video capture cards as follows:

  1. Turn the computer off and disconnect the plug from the mains.
  2. Remove the computer case cover.

  3. Install the video capture card in a free PCI-E X1 slot of the motherboard. Secure the video capture card with a screw.

    Note

    Before encasing video capture cards, make sure that your hands are free from static electricity, which can damage computer cards and video capture cards. To prevent damage to the cards, various special antistatic tools may be used (for instance, an antistatic wristband).

    Example of FS-16 video capture card installation into a PCI-E X1 slot.

  4. Set the computer case cover.
  5. Connect the interface cable with the numbered BNC-pins to the video capture card.
  6. Connect video cameras to the interface cable.
  7. Connect the power cord of the computer case to the mains and turn the computer on.
  8. While the operating system is loading, new hardware (video capture card) is found and the monitor displays the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box.

If Axxon PSIM™ is to be installed on the given computer, then click the Cancel button in the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box. In this case, the driver of the video capture card is installed automatically during the Axxon PSIM™ software installation.

If Axxon PSIM™ has already been installed and a new video capture card needs to be installed, then install the driver of the video capture card(s) using the Found New Hardware Wizard application (see Installing drivers for video capture cards section).

Installation of video capture cards is completed.
