DTC-720 Xpect ® – 24/7 Transport Stream Monitoring
USER MANUAL

The Mosaic feature requires a mid-range video card since most of the decoding is done on the video
card. We strongly recommend the AMD 6670 1GB DDR video card (AMD/ATI out-performs higher
spec NVIDIA cards for this specific application). Also make sure, using the Windows Device Manager,
that the latest AMD Video card drivers are installed:
3.2 Software installation
Setting up Xpect requires the server and the Configuration Tool. The Installer will install both the Xpect
Configuration Tool and the Xpect server software. The Xpect Configuration Tool could also be installed
separately on a remote client PC. An internet connection is required for downloading some of the
installer packages.
To make the PC ready for 24/7 monitoring it is recommended to:
 Disable Windows automatic updates
 Disable sleep mode and automatic screen blanking
For the Service decoding feature you will need to install the Microsoft Expression Encoder and make
sure that the Windows User Access Control (UAC) is disabled. After changing this setting the PC should
be rebooted.
NOTE: For Windows 8.1 the Windows Store Apps will not operate because of this UAC setting!
