tips
loss of Capture Device Connection
If the computer connection to the Video Capture Device is interrupted,
you will need to re-establish connection. This can happen due to several
reasons; if a cable becomes unplugged, the computer “freezes”, or the
software/hardware otherwise temporarily loses the data coming from the
device.
To re-establish camera connection, first close all capture software on your
computer. Then, unplug and re-plug the Video Capture Device into the com-
puter’s USB port. Now, re open the capture software and the Live Video
Window should appear indicating re-established connection between cam-
era and computer.
