Appendix A: Quick setup and demo
1) Turn all power off.
2) Place 512 address selection jumpers on positions A8, A9 and A5. Base address CC0.
3) Place 512 on PC/104 stack.
4) Connect video camera to J3.
5) Connect video monitor to J1.
6) Turn power on.
7) At command prompt type: C:\> MD \X12DOS and press return. This creates a directory for the
512 DOS driver files.
8) Insert distribution diskette in floppy drive.
9) At command prompt type: C:\> COPY A:\DOS\*.* C:\X12DOS and press return. This will copy all
the file required to the X12DOS directory.
10) At command prompt type: C:\> CD \X12DOS and press return to enter the directory.
11) At command prompt type: C:\X12DOS> VSETUP –Z and press return. This initializes all the 512
parameters to their default state.
12) If you are using a PAL video source, type: C:\X12DOS> VSETUP –PAL and press return. For
NTSC you can skip this step.
13) At command prompt type: C:\X12DOS> X12TSR and press return. This step load the driver. Now
the demo application can be run. Video should now appear on the monitor.
14) At command prompt type: C:\X12DOS> RECORD TEST.MPG 300 50 and press return. This will
record an MPEG video clip approximately 300 frames (10 seconds for NTSC, 12 soconds for
PAL) long.
Note: The 50 is a ‘cleanup’ parameter and delays the termination in order to allow the video queue to be
processed. This parameter should be determined empirically for best results. If at playback the clip is shorter than
expected increase this ‘cleanup’ number. TEST.MPG is the file name.
15) command prompt type: C:\X12DOS> PLAYBACK TEST.MPG and press return. This will
playback the recorded video clip.
16) For different video parameters run VSETUP.EXE again and proceed to step 14 for testing.
RECORD.EXE and PLAYBACK.EXE are demo programs (source code included) that can be used to try
out the 512. Typing RECORD or PLAYBACK at the command line without any parameters will give you a
list of available parameters and options.
