SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE
USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and
safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-
tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damanged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed
for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and
make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for
infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of
road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating
will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit
the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case —
this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!
DO NOT attempt to insert foreign objects into the connectors, as this can lead to
electric shock or fire. If an object is accidentally inserted, unplug it and contact your
JVC dealer. Be especially careful with children.
If during use you notice that the VIDEO CAPTURE DOCKING STATION is damaged,
unplug it and contact your JVC dealer. Use of the VIDEO CAPTURE DOCKING STATION
under these conditions can lead to fire or electric shock.
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify the VIDEO CAPTURE DOCKING STATION. Doing
so may result in malfunctions or injury. If a problem occurs, contact your JVC dealer.

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.

The Video Capture software can be started up in the same way as any other program running
under Windows. The procedure differs slightly depending on whether you’re using WindowsT
3.1 or WindowsT 95.
OPEN & CLOSE (Basic Operation Procedure)
Preparation
• Turn on your computer.
• Turn on the video source units (such as camcorders and VCRs).
• If you want to capture a still picture from a recorded tape, load the tape into the video unit.
• If you want to capture an image from the data stored in the JLIP Video Producer Software, be
sure to load the disk on which the image is stored.
Close any programs that are running. You cannot run other programs simultaneously with
the Video Capture software.
With WindowsT 3.1, open the group of application icons in the Program Manager and
double-click the application icon you want to launch.
With WindowsT 95, click the [START] button on the taskbar, and the Program menu
appears on the screen. Move the mouse pointer over the program entry you want to run
and click to start the program.
Now let’s start the program.
If you’re using WindowsT 3.1, open the JLIP Video Capture group in the "Program Manager" and
double-click the JLIP Video Capture icon.
If you’re using WindowsT 95, select JLIP Video Capture from the "Start menu" and click to start.

•This completes picture format setting.
•This setting takes effect the next time
you use the capture function.
Picture Data Format
● JPEG (9. jpg)
This is the default setting. If you do not set Picture Format, image data is captured in this
•
format.
•
JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group) is a leading standard defining the compression and
decompression of still colour pictures.
•
The quantity of transferred data appears smaller because the images are compressed. This
results in a shorter transfer time.
● Bitmap (9. bmp)
•
Transfer time is longer when you use this format because there is no data compression. The
benefit is that picture quality is maintained with no deterioration.
•
Bitmap is a data format representing characters and graphics with combinations of pixels.
Full image data resolution is 768 x 552 pixels with 16.77 million colours (24-bit colour).
Index image data resolution is 80 x 60 pixels with 16.77 million colours (24-bit colour).
Capture Mode
● Frame Picture
•
This is the default setting. If you do not set Picture Format, images are captured in this
mode.
•
Since a frame consists of two overlapping 1/50 sec. images (one 1/25 sec. image forms a
field), it is unstable when capturing fast-moving motion pictures.
● Field Picture
While a field contains only half the data of a frame — meaning that vertical resolution is
•
half that of a frame — images captured from a fast-moving motion picture are more stable
than when captured with "Frame Picture".

Cause
v Does the JLIP Video Producer Software or
the JLIP Movie Player Software run ? The
JLIP Video Capture Software cannot run
together with it.
v
If the camcorder is attached to the JLIP
Video Capture Docking Station with the
battery pack installed or with the AC Power

v These buttons do not function.
v The counter display in the "VCR" operation

Is your video unit compatible with JLIP ?
v
Only JLIP-compatible units can be operated.
If you are using a JLIP-compatible unit and
it still won’t work, check to make sure that
it is correctly connected.
v Is the video unit selected in "Select Unit" ?
Select correctly.
v Initialize JLIP.
v Make sure the video unit is turned on.
v Slow Play in the VCR operation window
automatically switches to Play after

Problem
Cannot capture video data
with the desired counter
number.
Counter cannot be reset.
Program capture suddenly
stops.
After finishing video
capture, the video file
remains in the JCPT folder
(where the program run file
is contained).
JLIP initialization not
possible.
With Video capture/
Transfer done in Automatic
Transfer mode, the captured
image looks like two
pictures laid one upon
another.
Cause
v There may be a slight difference between
the counter of the video image that you
want to capture and the Index image data/
Full image data captured in the computer.
This is not a malfunction.
v Counter reset is not available with digital
camcorders.
v When you start program capture at the
beginning of the tape, the video unit stops
playback, ending program capture.
Start video capture about 20 seconds after
the point where the recording begins.
v If you want to erase the file because of
limited hard disk space, start the program
once then close it. The video remaining in
the JCPT folder will be cleared.
v Make sure that the IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest)
is not being used by another device.
v COM port selection is wrong. Confirm the
COM port number and execute JLIP
initialization again.
v In this case, video capture is not possible
using the "Frame Picture" setting. Change
the setting to "Field Picture" and try video
capture again.

Operation will be significantly slower when used in an environment other than that recommended (page 16).
While basic VCR operations such as playback and fast-forward are available, a "transmission error" may occur in some models during video transfer. In this case, first unplug the AC
