Installing Multiple Cards
Multiple cards can be installed in a system providing a large number of capture channels. Combinations 
of Vision capture cards in the same machine are supported by the driver.
To control the order in which the driver uses the cards, it is recommended when installing multiple cards 
that the J5 links on the VisionRGB-E1/E1S are configured. The illustration below shows the jumper link 
settings for up to 32 cards in a single system. When two cards have the same link settings, their order is 
determined by the PCI bus:
DirectShow
If you change the link ordering after installation you must run dplinks.exe. This program will update the 
existing input names used by the Windows ®DirectShow interface.
To run the dplinks program open the Run by clicking on Start/Run and type dplinks and then press Enter.
The program will run, however no notifications are displayed.
