Model, and therefore the DCC-3 should be usable with most Windows video capture
programs.
The DCC-3 and driver have been tested with the following Windows programs:
• Windows Media Encoder 9 Series
• Real Producer
• Windows Movie Maker
• Windows Messenger
• VLC
• MSN Messenger
Functionality
As the DCC-3 captures graphics and video requires constant output resolution, some of
the operations like de-interlacing and scaling must be turned on or off before capture
begins. As the DCC-3 can switch between interlaced and non-interlaced modes and also
modes with different resolutions, the following functionality was placed within the
driver:
• The DCC-3 tries to capture 30 fps., but most programs (like Windows Media
Encoder) are able to drop frames if the user wishes to capture less than 30 fps.
• If there is no signal detected, the DCC-3 will output 30 fps. of black screen.
• The DCC-3 is able to switch selected PiP and main inputs on the fly. While
changing input signals or detecting a new resolution, a black screen will be
generated.
• To change the selected inputs, get information about the current resolutions,
adjust the PiP size and format, and update the firmware the user can reference the
DCC-3’s property page in Windows, or use the application properties such as in
Windows Media Encoder.
