Downloading and Installing Updated Drivers
1. install the osprey board in the pc if you have not already done so, turn on the machine and start windows nt.
2. the latest software drivers for osprey-540 capture cards are available via ftp (file transfer protocol) at the following location:
ftp://ftp.ospreyvideo.com/pub/osp-540/winnt/latest
there are also links to the drivers from our web site at http://www.ospreyvideo.com/.
3. use your web browser, such as microsoft internet explorer or netscape navigator, to find our ftp site and download the file. type the ftp address shown above into the address box at the top of your browser window. you may find it simpler to type just the first part of the address - ftp://ftp.ospreyvideo.com - and then click on the list of directories that display until you have reached the winnt/latest location. refer to your browser’s help files for more specific and detailed assistance.
4. download the web package in winnt/latest to your hard drive.
5. it is necessary to uninstall your existing osprey-540 driver before installing a newer version of the driver. follow the instructions in uninstalling the software and restart your computer before beginning the new install procedure.
6. run the web package program
a. click the start button
b. click run
c. enter [pathname] in the dialog box, where [pathname] is the location and name of the file that you have downloaded
d. click ok.
7. the program prompts you for a temporary location in which to unpack the installation files and starts the setup program. the setup program guides you through the installation steps. for many users this process is self-explanatory. if you need additional information, please refer to the section entitled setup program: details.
the installation files are not automatically deleted after setup has run. if you want to conserve disk space, make a note of the temporary location where these files are being unpacked and delete them after the installation.
8. you must restart the computer before the driver and sample applications are ready for use. we recommend that you test the driver immediately after restarting your computer.
