Start of operation

1. Installing the software

Caution!

Important files may be changed or overwritten when you are installing

programs or drivers.

Before installing the program make a backup of your original files

which you will be able to access later if problems occur after installing

the software.

Note

Install the software before connecting the USL web camera and stereo

headset.

14

Place the CD in the drive. The installation menu will start automatically.

Note: If installation does not start automatically the so-called

“Autorun” function may be disabled.

Manual installation without Autorun:

Click “Start” and select the “Run” feature.

Now enter the name (letter) of the CD-ROM drive followed by a colon

and the program name “Autorun.exe”

Confirm with “OK”.

The installation menu will suggest the following items for installation:

- PC camera driver (hardware driver)

- ArcSoft Software Suite (photo editing software)

Install the hardware driver and editing software in sequence. Follow the

instructions on the screen.

15

Re-start your computer.

The editing software automatically places a shortcut to the programs

“PhotoImpression 5” and “VideoImpression 5” on your desktop,

which you can use to transmit images after the USB web camera is

connected.

16

2. Connecting the USB web camera to the

PC

Connect your USB web camera to your computer as follows:

The driver software must already be installed (page 3).

Switch on the computer and all peripheral devices (monitor, printer

modem, etc.) and wait until operating system has finished booting.

Insert the end of the USB cable (n) into one of

your computer’s empty USB ports (o).

Windows

®

will recognise that new hardware has been connected and will

complete the installation.

Note: A dialogue box will appear if your system is set up to install

signed software/drivers (released by Microsoft) only. The wording in

the box will differ from system to system. Example: “The ….. driver

you wish to install did not pass the test ….”

This does not indicate that the driver is faulty, but merely points out

that there is no Microsoft signature. You can skip this screen. Click

“Next” to install the driver.

The ideal angle is achieved by setting up the USB camera in the centre of

the monitor.

live image as you are doing this.

You can also set up the camera on a table or hold it in your hand.

Positioning the camera lens

You can turn the camera body on

the base to achieve the desired

angle.

card.
