INTRODUCTION
What is video capture software ?
Video capture software is a type of application program that allows you to capture video
images from camcorders and VCRs and store them in personal computers running under the
WindowsT operating system. These images can be transferred from the video source to the
computer via a standard RS-232C communication interface. By processing the captured
images with commercially available image editing software, you can create your own unique
and highly personal illustrations and graphics for incorporation into everything from postcards
to newsletters and Internet homepages. What’s more, you can also use your computer to edit
your original video recording and produce a fun-to-watch, professional-looking video program.
What is JLIP ?
JLIP* stands for Joint Level Interface Protocol, a new communication protocol which allows AV
units equipped with a JLIP terminal to be controlled by a personal computer.

to the GV-DS1 JLIP Video Capture Docking Station. The initialization window automatically
appears the first time you start the software after installation. Do not forget to carry out this JLIP
initialization procedure. The JLIP must be initialized again whenever you connect a new image
source or other unit to the JLIP Video Capture Docking Station.
