2. Your PC must have sufficient “horsepower” for smooth operation of two
displays.
3. You must configure the second monitor to be used as part of an
“extended desktop.” To do this, right-click on your Windows desktop and
select Properties. Click on the Settings tab. You’ll see a page like this one:
Click on the monitor number “2” icon and then insure that there’s a check
in the box “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor.” Click OK.
NOTE: If your second monitor wasn’t connected to the PC and turned on
when you started Windows, you may need to connect it and turn it on and
then restart Windows before it will be recognized here.
4. Visit the Playback tab of the Options window. Select the Draw directly
to desktop in RGB format (no overlay) option in order to avoid a pink
screen on the second monitor during full-motion playback.
5. Visit the Live Video tab of the Options window. Select the draw video
directly to desktop option in order to avoid a pink screen on the second
monitor during live video preview and recording.
To retain optimal system performance, the RGB options should only be used
when absolutely necessary. For most configurations, steps 4 and 5 will be
unnecessary when using the V1 Widescreen version.
Hard Drive Utilization
This section has two boxes: Do NOT Use and Treat as Removable . In these boxes,
you may enter drive letters. Spaces and/or commas are optional. If a drive letter
appears in the Do Not Use box, that drive will not be used to store new video. If a
drive letter appears in the Treat as Removable box, that drive will also not be used to
store new video, and will in addition be handled as a temporary drive that you may
“eject” or otherwise remove from the system.
