7 - 24 PC Camera Module

BisonCap

BisonCap is a video viewer for general purpose video viewing and testing, and for

capturing video files to .avi format.

1. Run the BisonCap program from the Start > Programs/All Programs > Bison-

Cam menu (it is recommended that you set the capture file before the capture

process - see Set Capture File below).

2. Go to the Capture menu heading (if you wish to capture audio check “PC Camera

Audio Setup” on page 7 - 22) and select Start Capture.

3. Click OK (the file location will be displayed in the pop-up box) to start capturing the

video, and press Esc to stop the capture (you can view the file using the Windows

Media Player).

Set Capture File

Prior to capturing video files you may select the Set Capture File... option in the

File menu, and set the file name and location before capture (this will help avoid ac-

cidentally overwriting files). Set the name and location then click Open, then set the

"Capture file size:"

and click OK. You can then start the capture process as above.

Note the important information in “Reducing Video File Size” on page 7 - 25 in

order to save file space, and help prevent system problems.

Pre-Allocating File

Space

You may pre-allocate

the file size (File > Allo-

cate File Space) for the

capture file in the

BisonCap program.

Pre-allocating space on

the hard disk can im-

prove the capture quali-

ty (particularly of large

capture files), by reduc-

ing the amount of work

the hard disk has to do

in finding space for the

video data as it is being

captured.
