If you have successfully installed the Epiphan USB device driver,
when you connect an Epiphan Frame Grabber, the Frame
Grabber’s name appears in the Windows Device Driver under
Imaging Devices. For example, if you installed a DVI2USB Solo
Frame Grabber, the name of the imaging device would be
“DVI2USB Solo by Epiphan Systems Inc”.
You can also find the Frame Grabber from the Windows Control
Panel by opening the Scanners and Cameras control panel
application. The Frame Grabber has the same name in the
Scanners and Cameras control panel application is in the
Windows Device Driver.
From the Scanners and Cameras control panel application, you
can right-click on the Epiphan Frame Grabber icon and select Get
Pictures to save images captured by the Frame Grabber.
