How to Use
Connect the video/audio source to the video capture card using the appropriate
cable(s). To connect a VGA source, use the included DVI to VGA adapter. If you wish to
input audio from a source other than HDMI, make sure to connect the breakout cable
and connect the audio source using stereo RCA cables (red/white).
Stream Catcher
Double-click the “StreamCatcher” icon on the desktop to launch the video
capture application. This will bring up the main menu screen that contains
the video preview window and recording controls. Additional options and
configurations can be accessed through the Main Menu.
Initial Setup Note: If you have a video source connected, but are not able to view
anything in the video window, go to the “Settings” section first, to make sure the
“device” is configured properly. If using an HDCP protected video source (i.e. retail
Blu-Ray movie), this will also result in no video preview/capture.
