Sensoray 2251 Rev.A - Manual (Page 4)

Software
Feature Summary
Models 2250 & 2251 are shipped with the drivers for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista. A full-
featured demo application allows preview and saving of MPEG video on the host computer, control
of the compression and video settings, text overlays, and snapshot capture.
An included SDK can be used to integrate video capture into any application. The SDK allows
maximum flexibility by providing an API for all the 2250/51’s functions. The source code of the
demo application is a suggested starting point for custom application development.
Installation
*The model 2251 is software compatible to the model 2250. The drivers, installation, and demo
programs may identify the 2251 as a 2250. There is no separate software package for the model
2251; the standard 2250 SDK should be used.
The software may be distributed on a CD or downloaded from the Sensoray’s web site. If the file is
downloaded, it will need to be unzipped into a folder on the local drive prior to connecting the
2250/51 to the USB port.
Run the setup program (2250setup.exe) from the distribution disk or folder. Software components,
including a demo application with the source code, will be installed into the /Program
Files/Sensoray/2250 folder.
During the installation the program will install ffdshow. During the setup accept the defaults. (If
MPEG1 and 2 are not selected, the setup program will automatically enable them in the registry.)
After the 2250/51 is connected to the USB port for the first time, a Windows “Found new
hardware…” dialog may appear. Select “No, not this time” and click “next”. Choose “Install the
software automatically”. The driver is preinstalled with the setup program but may pop up a
Windows Logo warning. Click “Continue Anyway”. The driver will install without prompting for file
locations. A second “Found new hardware…” dialog may appear shortly afterwards. Please repeat
the above procedure.
If using Windows 2000, the setup program will check for DirectX9 and launch a browser on the
Microsoft website if not present. DirectX9 is required on Windows 2000, but not XP nor Vista.
Please download the latest DirectX9 runtime from the Microsoft website if setup requests it.
