Installation guide

ubSwitch Utility (Windows only)

In order to use a DV camcorder with this controller,

Microsoft's FireWire 400 driver must be installed in the

system. We have supplied an easy to use utility that

allows switching between Microsoft's driver and the

FireWire 800 driver. Before using this utility, unplug all

devices from the FireWire 800 card.

The steps, taken from Windows XP, may be different for

other Windows operating systems.

1. Click Start, Programs or All Programs, Unibrain

ubcore, then ubSwitch.

2. Click the ubSwitch icon located in the system

tray by the clock.

3. Click the Unibrain driver / OHCI Compatible Board

or Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394

Host Controller.

4. Click Microsoft Drivers to switch to the Windows

embedded FireWire 400 driver.

Click Unibrain Drivers to switch back to the FireWire

800 driver.

Note: If your system has multiple 1394 adapters

installed, make sure that you click on the 1394

adapter that the camcorder will be plugged into.

5. Click Yes at the Security Alert window. Skip this

step if not prompted.

6. Windows will display an information box when the

driver is ready for use. It may take a few seconds for

this box to appear.
