correctly both within the Winnov configuration and the properties of the
VideoProducer, i.e. PAL / NTSC. I think if there's a mismatch you'll get a
black screen in VIC.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Winnov 1000 VO, Windows XP, AG 3.1<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Sorry if I’m asking something obvious here, but I have
searched around and can’t seem to find out what I’m doing wrong. If anyone
has any suggestions, I’d dearly appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve got a Windows XP system running AccessGrid 3.1 – or,
rather, that I’m trying to get running with AG 3.1. This system was
originally designed to be a beefy desktop PIG – it’s a Dell Precision 7400 with
specs substantially higher than the AG requirements I found. The original
camera was a USB webcam, which was ideal for a desktop unit. In the
original build I had things working well enough that I was on the verge of
requesting a PIG test session, but we’ve had a scope change for the AG
task. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>At this time I am trying to get this system talking to an
external camera, with the intention of installing it in a conference room.
We tried a Hauppauge card (an HVR-2250) but vic doesn’t seem to like that
card. Even on a clean install vic aborts on launch. I’ve rebuilt the
system with a Winnov 1000 VO card. I can see the camera input in the
Winnov-bundled software, and can configure vic services to see the camera
device, but I get no video in vic. I’ve tried using this with just a Video
service, and with both the Video Consumer and Video Producer. vic
does not crash, it just sits there waiting for video.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m sure, given my inexperience with AG, that there’s
something stupid I’m missing. Does anyone have a suggestion for how I
should proceed?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>(I’ve looked over the list archives and the online
documentation I could find but haven’t found anything to address this. If
I’ve missed it, then I’ll gladly RTFM if I can be directed to which FM to
R. )<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks very much…<o:p></o:p></P>
