Hardware Installation

Optional: Install the low-profile bracket

1. Remove both of the DVI port standoff screws located on the outside of the bracket.
2. Using a Philips-type screwdriver (not included), remove the screw located next to the internal side of the DVI port on the circuit board.
3. You can now remove the undesired bracket by pulling the bracket away from the capture card.
4. Line up your desired bracket so that the DVI input port, and the A/V breakout cable input port align with the portholes. Also, ensure the screw hole is aligned with the underside of the capture card.
5. Using a Philips-type screwdriver (not included), reinsert the screw that you removed in step 2.
6. Re-insert the Standoff screws that you removed in step 1.

Install the capture card on your computer

1. Turn off your computer and disconnect any peripheral devices, such as printers, and external hard drives and unplug the power cable from the rear of the computer.

2. Remove the case cover from your computer. For more information on how to perform this step, see the documentation that was included with your computer.

3. Locate an open PCI-Express slot and if necessary remove the metal cover plate on the rear of your computer case.
   Note: The capture card will work in a PCI-Express slot with additional lanes, for example, x4, x8, or x16.

4. Gently insert the card into the open PCI-Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of the case, using the screw you removed in step 3.

5. Place the case cover back onto the computer.

6. Reconnect any peripheral devices, as well as the power cable.

Connect your audio/video source to the capture card
If your video source device is DVI, connect your video source cabling (sold separately) directly to the DVI input port on the capture card.
If your video source device is VGA or HDMI use the appropriate DVI adapter to connect your audio/video source cabling to the DVI input port on the capture card.
If your audio/video source is a component or s-video/composite use the appropriate breakout cable to connect your audio/video source to the A/V breakout cable and input the port on the capture card.
If you would like to capture 2-channel RCA audio along with your video source, connect one of the A/V breakout cables to your RCA audio source cabling and to the A/V  breakout cable input port.
Note: If you’re capturing component or S-video/composite video, use the same breakout cable for audio that you used to connect your video source.\ Once you’ve connected your audio/video source turn on your computer.
