IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. This product has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.

ATTENTION:

Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please read all the safety and operating instructions before you operate this product and keep this manual for future reference.

INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

2. Power Sources

Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. If your product is intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

3. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

4. Power Cord Protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

5. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

3. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

14INTRODUCTION

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 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.

* is a registered trademark of JVC.

16HOWTOOPENTHEPROGRAM

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.

Preparation

Turn on your computer.

Press the POWER button to turn on the power.

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 Player 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.

INITIALIZATION17

INITIALIZING JLIP

The first time you start the Video Capture software, JLIP initialization is required. This sets which of the computer’s COM ports (connector into which the RS-232C cable is plugged) is connected to the GV-CB1 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.

Start the JLIP Video Capture software.

The "JLIP Initialization" screen automatically appears.

Select "COM Port".

•COM1 through COM4 ports are available. Check to see which COM port is connected to the JLIP Video Capture Box and select it.

Select "Transfer Rate". •Normally select 38400.

•38400 may not be available on some computers. When transmission errors take place during use, switch to 19200 or 9600. Image data transmission will be slower at these speeds.

5. Click "OK". The "JLIP Initialization" window appears while the program checks for the connected units.
