3.1 Installing the software for the Philips camera
The Philips USB PC Camera works with any application that uses the
Video for Windows format (AVI format).As an example of a powerful
video software package, we have included the fully functional
‘Videogram Creator’ software on the CD-ROM. Please read Section 4
for a brief introduction to the use of this software.
In order to ensure the video and audio performance your camera has
been designed for, we have included an InstallShield Wizard on the
CD-ROM. Please follow these directions for the camera driver
installation exactly, and make sure that you have your Windows 98
CD-ROM at hand.

mouse) before you start.

the drive name of your CD-ROM drive.

you to connect the camera to the USB port.

Windows98 CD-ROM, insert it into the drive and click “OK”. Exit the
Windows 98 Set-up screen if it appears.After completing the
