IMPORTANT! It is the intent of ASUS that this product be used in full compli-

ance with the copyright laws of your respective and other countries and that prior

permission be obtained from copyright owners whenever necessary.

When you install the Windows 95/98 Driver of your ASUS graphics card (only models

with the

VIDEO-IN connector), the video capture driver will automatically be installed on

your system. This video capture driver follows Microsoft Video for Windows standard

and can open

up to a capture window size of 704 x 480. It can be used with some

applications that use video capture as an option, such as video conferencing, net meeting,

or digital video authoring applications.

IMPORTANT! You must enable the DMA transfer mode of your hard disk (EIDE

HD) to get the maximum data transfer capability (704 x 480, 30 frames/second)

during the video capture process. Otherwise, your system may become unstable.

If desired, you may adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue of your dis-

play by using the video source setup screen. Use the Up or Down Buttons on the

ASUS Main Panel or the

UP and DOWN arrow keys on your keyboard to select the

desired option and then the Left and Right Buttons or the

LEFT and RIGHT arrow

keys to make the desired adjustments.

Click again the Show/Hide Video Source Options button on the ASUS Main Panel to

exit from the video source option screen.
