Color QuickCam(tm) for Windows(r) Version 2.0.2 README 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: 1. We strongly recommend that you turn your computer off anytime you connect or disconnect the QuickCam from either the parallel port or the keyboard port. 2. Don't attach more than one QuickCam (grayscale or color) to a computer. This won't damage your computer but they won't work together with this version of the QuickCam software. 3. If you are a Windows 95 user, your computer may crash if you try to run both QuickPICT and QuickMovie at the same time. 4. Be sure your monitor is displaying at least 16 bit (high) color. (See Control Panels: Displays: Settings in Windows 95 or consult your manual for Windows 3.1-based computers.) 5. We are constantly improving our QuickCam software. Updates to our software can be found on our Web site and other online forums including America Online (Keyword: Connectix). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Things You Should Know ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU HAVE A GRAYSCALE QUICKCAM the Color Camera installer will disable the original QuickCam driver. You'll have to reinstall the original software to use the grayscale camera again. WHEN RECORDING A MOVIE your on-screen frame rate will appear to drop. This is because QuickMovie is making sure that you get the full rate saved to disk first; screen updates are secondary to captured frame rates. When you play back your saved movie, you will see the full frame rate captured by QuickMovie. TO GET THE FASTEST POSSIBLE FRAME RATE, make sure that your monitor depth is set to the depth of the movie being captured. TO PLAYBACK A MOVIE RECORDED USING VIDEC COMPRESSION ON A DIFERENT COMPUTER, you will need to install the VIDEC decompression software (VIDEC.DLL). This software is available on the Connectix Web page and Connectix online service forums listed below. DO NOT PLUG THE KEYBOARD POWER ADAPTER into one computer and the parallel port connector into a different computer. Doing either will void your warranty. DO NOT USE THE SCREEN SAVER AND AUTO CAPTURE at the same time. There is not enough processing power available for the same camera to display a full screen moving image while also saving a still image to disk. IF YOU'VE EVER ADDED A PC SPEAKER DRIVER (speaker.drv) to your system, it is possible your computer will crash if you try to use the QuickCam software with it installed. We highly recommend uninstalling the PC speaker driver before attempting to use the QuickCam. VIDEC COMPRESSION IS NOT AVAILABLE IN QUICKPICT. It is designed primarily for video capture and is available only in QuickMovie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. Known Bugs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU TAKE A PICTURE TO THE CLIPBOARD USING THOUSANDS MODE (WINDOWS 3.1 ONLY), you will not be able to view the picture using Microsoft Paint or the Clipboard Viewer. The image is, however, available to other applications which support 16 bit images. If you are a Windows 95 user, your computer may crash if you try to run both QuickPICT and QuickMovie at the same time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.
