2. Installing ImpactVCB-e Windows device driver
Installation Overview
ImpactVCB-e is a Windows video capture PCI Express card. It can be used for digitizing and
compressing video from video cameras, video tape recorders, Set-top boxes and other de-
vices which create analog video signals.
The included WinTV v7 application is used for displaying live video on your PC screen and to
create video recordings and still images.
When recording live video with the WinTV v7 application, ImpactVCB-e creates a .TS (trans-
port stream) file. Using options in the WinTV v7 application, you can also create .MPEG files.
ImpactVCB-e uses WDM capture drivers, which will be compatible with most video applica-
tions that support this type of drivers.
