video hardware and driver setup like the Windows test print feature can be used
to test your printer hardware and driver setup.
1. Terminate any currently running B.A.S.I.S. application.
2. Power your camera on. Hitachi VKC-77U cameras should be powered with
a power pack, even if your FlashPoint board is not one of the Lite boards.
3. Launch the FPG32 application by clicking the Windows Start button, then
selecting Programs > FlashPoint > FPG32.
4. Make sure you see a live video image which fills the FPG32 window and
that the image is in full color if using a color camera or in gray scale if you
are using a black and white camera. Do the following if this is not the case:
• Select “Setup” and then “Video...” from the main menu. The Video
Setup window will appear off to the side.
• Select the video input standard and type as per your camera and video
cabling. Those with a Hitachi VKC-77U camera should select NTSC
and S-Video. Note that the FPG32 application provides no way to
specify the video source (input connector #) because the application
assumes you are using the first video input which supports the specified
input format. (Consult the cable wiring diagrams located in Appendix A
of your FlashPoint User’s Manual.)
• If you see just black or discolored video make sure the color
adjustments have reasonable settings. If you are unsure which
adjustments to use press the Video Setup window’s [Reset] button and
then re-select the video input standard and format again.
• If you still see just black or discolored video, your camera’s white point
balance and/or iris level may not be set correctly. For more information,
refer to Hitachi VK-C77U Camera dip switch settings on page 262.
• If you still see just black or discolored video consult the
Troubleshooting chapter of your FlashPoint User’s Manual.

• Video Source, Input Standard and Input Format. Video Verification uses
the video source, input standard and input format configured in the Workstations
form of ID CredentialCenter’s/System Administration’s Workstations folder.
Warning
The FlashPoint capture driver allows only one window of FlashPoint video
to be open at any given time. This means you can use only one of the
following at a time:
• FPG32 application. An error is reported and application will not
launch if FlashPoint video is already in use.
• Video Verification feature. The live video window will be blank if
FlashPoint video is already in use.
• Multimedia Capture module with the Video Capture Source
selected. The live video display area will be blank if FlashPoint video is
already in use.
