Step 7: Verify That Your Video Board and Drivers Are
Working Properly
This can be done easily and quickly using the FPG3D32 application which ships
with your FlashPoint board. Note that if FPG3D32 is unable to display video,
neither will B.A.S.I.S.; i.e., the FPG3D32 application can be used for testing
your 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. It should always be powered with a power pack.
3. Launch the FPG3D32 application by clicking the Windows Start button, then
selecting Programs > FlashPoint 3D > FPG3D32.
4. Make sure you see a live video image which fills the FPG3D32 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. Note that the FPG3D32 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 B of
your FlashPoint 3D User’s Manual.)
• Consult the CCP601 manual override settings portion of the Default
Camera Settings section in this chapter. For more information, refer to
CCP601 Manual Override Settings (Factory Default) on page 63.
• 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 consult the Default Camera
Settings section at the end of this chapter. Your camera’s white point
balance and/or iris level may not be set correctly. For more information,
refer to CCP601 Manual Override Settings (Factory Default) on page
63.
Warning
The FlashPoint capture driver allows more than one of the following
FlashPoint video windows to be open, with unpredictable side effects. This
means you can use only one of the following at a time:
• FPG3D32 application.
• Video Verification feature.
• Multimedia Capture module with the Video Capture Source selected.
