(2) System Requirements
- Operation System : Windows XP Home / Professional
- Graphic card which supports 16bit color mode or over.
(3) Limitations (Current limitation from OS)
- In certain IEEE1394 boards, multiple connections of DV Devices may not be supported in certain systems. The connection may recover by turning on the DV device before connecting it to the PC, and then turning on the PC after connecting.
- When you have 2 DV devices connected to the OHCI card and then disconnect one device or turn off one of the devices, it may affect the other DV device and cause drop frames or capture stops. This does not occur with devices connected to DVStorm or DVRaptor-RT.
- If multiple IEEE1394 cards are connected to the system, you can only connect to one of the cards at a time.
- When 2 ports of an OHCI card are used to capture DV, the preview capture windows will be mixed and unable to be viewed correctly when you are using DV camcorders that do not support CMP(Connection Management Protocol). In this case, only two ports (DVStorm/DVRaptor-RT and OHCI) can be used to capture.
- If you have both DVStorm and DVRaptor-RT in one system, you can only use DVStorm. You can not use DVRaptor-RT in this case.
- Please do not connect DV devices to the SHX-E1/NHX-E1 board when you are capturing from analog input.
Depending on the PC environment and specifications that this software is used on, the following restrictions may also apply:
(a) In limited cases, on input, the signal on capturing may be distorted due to signal noise. If this occurs please use the Storm Video Capture /DVRaptor-RT Video Capture provided in StormEdit/EzEdit to achieve cleaner capturing.
