Safety instructions

Before using this device for the first time, please read the following instructions carefully and take note of the safety warnings, even if you are familiar with the use of electronic devices. Please keep these instructions safe for future reference. If you sell the device or pass it on, always include these instructions. They are an integral part of the product.

DANGER! This symbol in conjunction with the "danger" note indicates an imminent dangerous situation which, if not prevented, could result in serious injury or even death.

WARNING! This symbol in conjunction with the "warning" note indicates important information for safe operation of the device and the safety of the user.

This symbol indicates other important information on the topic.

DANGER! Operational safety

• Please follow the usage instructions of your computer.
• Protect the device against moisture, vibrations, dust, heat and direct sunlight to avoid system failure.
• Never open the device housing. If you do so, the warranty will become void and may lead to permanent damage to the device.
• After it is transported, wait until the device has reached ambient temperature before using it for the first time. In the event of extreme temperature or humidity fluctuations, condensation can lead to a formation of moisture that can cause an electrical short circuit.
• Always handle the cables by the connector and do not pull on the cables themselves. Do not place any heavy objects on the cables and take care that the cables are not kinked, especially near the plug and connection sockets. When connecting the device, ensure that the cable is not too taut and the connector plug is not stressed. Never tie a knot in a cable and do not tie cables together. All cables should be positioned so that nobody can trip over them and they cannot cause an obstruction.
• If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or strange odours, remove the device immediately from the USB port. In such cases, the device should not be used until it has been inspected by authorised service personnel. Never inhale smoke from a potential device fire. If you have inhaled smoke, however, consult a doctor. The inhalation of smoke can be harmful.

DANGER! Children and persons with disabilities

Electrical devices do not belong in the hands of children. Persons with physical, mental or sensory disabilities should also only use electrical devices within the scope of their abilities. Never allow children or persons with disabilities to use electrical devices unsupervised, unless they have been instructed accordingly or are supervised by a person responsible for their safety. Children should always be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this device. Small parts can be fatal if swallowed. Always keep plastic packaging out of reach.

DANGER! It poses a suffocation risk!

WARNING! Electromagnetic compatibility

The guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) must be adhered to when connecting the device. Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 1m from high frequency and magnetic sources of interference (e.g. TVs, loudspeakers, mobile phones, etc.) in order to prevent malfunctions and loss of data.

WARNING! Back up

Ensure that you back up your data to external storage media after every update. Damage claims for lost data or for consequential losses as a result of lost data are excluded.

Initial use

Installing the software

WARNING! Only connect the device when the setup wizard prompts you to do so. Important files can be overwritten and altered during installation of programs or drivers. You should back up the contents of your hard drive before installing the program so that you can still access your original files if there is a problem with the installation.

• Insert the CD ROM supplied into the drive and the installation menu will open automatically.
• Click on the desired national flag to select the relevant language.
• First, install the driver and then the software (PowerDirector) according to the instructions on the screen.

If the setup wizard does not start automatically when the CD ROM is inserted, then the autorun function of your CD drive is deactivated. Then proceed as follows:

• Open the File Explorer or Windows Explorer.
• Double-click on your CD drive with the left mouse button.
• Then start the autorun function by double-clicking with the left mouse button on the autorun application (Autorun.exe).

A description of the software can be found on the CD-ROM under the item "PowerDirector Help".

Connecting to your PC

In order to record with the video grabber, you must first install the software (POWERDIRECTOR). If you haven't already done so, go to the section entitled "Installing the software" and follow the instructions.

• Connect the adapter (5) to the video grabber (1) as shown in the previous diagram.

• Connect the video output of your source (e.g. camcorder) to the video grabber. The following connection types are available here:

Video / S-Video signal

• To transfer images, connect either the S-Video cable (3) (same connectors at both ends of the cable) or the yellow connector of the AV cable (4) (yellow, red and white connectors at both ends of the cable) with the respective jacks of the adapter and your desired source.
• Do not plug in both the S-Video cable and the yellow RCA cable at the same time.

Audio signal

• For audio transmission, connect the red and white connectors of the AV cable (4) (yellow, red and white connectors at both ends of the cable) with the respective jacks of the adapter and your desired source.

SCARTadapter

• If your source only has a SCART socket as a video or S-Video connection, use either the S-Video cable (3) (same connectors at both ends of the cable) or the yellow connector of the AV cable (4) (yellow, red and white connectors at both ends of the cable) with the SCART adapter and then connect this to your source in order to transfer images.

• For audio transmission, also connect the red and white connectors of the AV cable (4) (yellow, red and white connectors at both ends of the cable) to the SCART adapter and your desired source.

• Plug the video grabber's USB connector into a free USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port, ensuring your PC is switched on. Use the enclosed extension cable (6) if necessary to extend the reach of the cable. If possible, ensure that the video grabber is connected directly to your PC (and not via a USB hub). Only use the device with a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 connection.

• The operating system will automatically detect the video grabber. Follow the instructions on the screen.
• Use the enclosed software (PowerDirector) to record your source. The software provides you with detailed instructions in electronic form.

Select "Full Feature Editor" to make recordings.
