Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the D-Link DSC-100. The DSC-100 enables you to take digital photos, record digital video and videoconference. This guide will explain the features and functions of the DSC-100.
Introduction to USB USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a standard for connecting external devices to your computer quickly and easily. One of the nice things about USB is that power can be provided to the USB device through the USB cable. Some devices such as printer need more power than the USB ports can provide, so those devices will have to use an external power source. USB also allows the device to be connected and removed from the PC without the need to shut down the computer.
Introduction to Video Editing As with video capture, the hardware that was previously needed to edit video was very expensive. Today’s PC market has lowered the cost of very powerful computers that are very capable of editing and producing home videos. Of course, the faster and more robust your computer is, the faster and easier it is to edit video. The first thing to understand when delving into video editing is that video takes up a lot of hard drive space.
