1. verify that the hardware installation is complete according to the directions in chapter 2 - osprey-210/220 hardware.

    2. connect a video signal source to one of the osprey-220 connectors (composite/s-video).

    3. open the osprey multimedia capture group in the start menu.

    4. click the vidcap32 icon.

    5. if your input is composite video, the screen displays a preview mode window with live video. click the overlay button. the screen should display moving video frames. if your input choice is not composite video, select the video source option under the options menu. this brings up the osprey-210/220 video capture driver configuration box where you select your video input.

    if the video area does not contain video, it could be for one of the following reasons:

    a. the driver is looking for video on the wrong input connector. you can either move the video cable to another connector or reconfigure the driver using its control dialog. see chapter 5 - osprey-210/220 video control dialog.

    b. the video source is not turned on or activated.

    6. if the video area is scrambled or has bad color, the signal format of your video source may be different from the signal format selected in the driver software. since the driver defaults to ntsc-m signal format, users of pal equipment always need to change the driver’s signal format the first time they run the driver. see chapter 5 - osprey-210/220 video control dialog.
