Installing the Capture Card
You are likely to need a flat blade and /or a cross head screwdriver for the installation of the
VisionAV-HD card; it would be useful to have these to hand before you begin.
• Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch off at the mains and disconnect all the cables
connected to the computer, noting the positions for accurate reconnection
• Remove the PC cover
• Locate a vacant PCI Express slot (x4 or higher) on the motherboard and remove the blanking plate
(retain all screws)
If you are in doubt consult your motherboard documentation to correctly identify a PCI Express slot. If
the card is forced into a 32 or 64 bit PCI or PCI-X slot it will be irreparably damaged when the system is
powered up and the warranty will be void
.
• Reconnect all cables to the PC then connect a DVI cable (not supplied) distributing the DVI source
signal to the connector on the VisionAV-HD capture card

• An Audio feed can be connected to the Audio Module via the Audio Breakout Cable
• Power up the PC and commence the software installation
