Installation Note: Do not connect the USB Connector to your computer until you have completed Step 2. 1. Insert the MobiCam® Software CD into the CD drive of your computer. 2.

Note: This step could take several minutes, depending on your connection speed, to download the latest version. 3.
If you are using another video source, connect the three AV connections from that source the same as above, or use the S-Video plug instead (if S-Video is available from your source). 5. Once your computer restarts close any programs on your PC and plug the USB adaptor into an available USB port directly on the computer. We recommend you DO NOT connect the USB capture cable to the computer through a USB hub. Windows automatically recognizes, and installs, the USB adapter drivers for video and audio.
