Introduction
This manual covers all of the WinTV USB models:
Win TV-US B
Win TV-US B FM
References to the WinTV USB apply to all models. The Windows98 driver for all
of the WinTV USB models will be referred to as the Win TV-US B d rive r, and
the installation CD-ROM will be referred to as the Win TV In s t a lla t io n CD-
ROM.
The WinTV application, which is referred to in this manual as the WinTV applica-
tion, will show your TV or video in a window on your PC screen. There are two
versions: the WinTV32 and the WinTV2000. Both applications have the same
features, but have a different “look and feel”.
For models which have particular features (such as the chapter on the Radio
application), we will note which models these features are available on.
For a description of how the WinTV USB displays video on your VGA screen,
see the chapter entitled Ho w Win TV-US B Wo rk s .

ote: Be sure to use the exact version of Windows 98 CD-
ROM that is installed on your system. If you are using
N
Windows98 SE, do not use a Windows98 Gold CD-ROM.
Also if Plug-n-Play does not correctly load the driver, you may
manually load the driver from the WinTV-USB CD-Rom. Open the
USB folder and double click the file “USB98.exe” to manually
install the driver. Once the driver is finished, you must manually
run the SETUP.EXE on the WinTV-USB root directory to install
the WinTV viewing application.
Co n n e c t in g t h e Win TV-US B t o a VCR, Vid e o
Ca m e ra o r Ca m c o rd e r
Most VCR’s or camcorders have a female RCA jack labeled “Video Out”. Most
also have a jack labeled “Audio Out”. Most video cameras simply have one out-
put connection labeled "Video Out".
To connect the video to the WinTV-USB, use shielded video cables (not supplied)
with male RCA connectors on both ends:
-
connect from the “Vid e o Ou t ” jack on your video camera, VCR or cam-
corder to the Co m p o s it e Vid e o in p u t ja c k on the WinTV-USB.
ote: USB has a high quality S-Video input jack, which
requires an S-Video to Composite video Adapter (supplied)
N
to connect to your Camcorder or VCR.

WinTV-USB Installation and Reference Manual
To connect the audio from your VCR or camcorder, use an 1/8” stereo minijack
extension cable (1/8” male minijacks on one end, and RCA onthe other end) and
connect the “Audio Output” RCA” on the VCR or camcorder to the Audio LineIn jack
on the Win TV US B.
ote: If you need a female RCA to 1/8” minijack adapter, these
adapters can be found at most Radio Shack stores.
N
Con n e c tin g th e Win TV-USB to a Sou n d Ca rd
The board's audio output should be connected to a sound card using the supplied
Au d io Ca b le :
-
plug one end of the Au d io Ca b le into the jack marked Lin e Ou t (Au d io
Lin e Ou t ja c k J 4 ) on the USB unit
-
plug the other end of the Au d io Ca b le into your soundcard’s Lin e In
jack.
ote: Most sound cards have three round jacks on the outside of
the PC. They are: Microphone Input, Audio Output and Line
N
Input. The Audio Output would go to your speakers, while the
Microphone input might go to a microphone (if you are using one). The
LineIn jack is normally indicated on the sound card by the words IN or
LineIn stamped into the metal bracket on the outside of your PC. This
is where you would plug your Audio Cable, Also Some Laptops do not
have a Line in and you would have to connect the USB device to the
Mic input on the Laptop, or to a seperate set of powered speakers.
Ad ju s tin g th e Au d io Volu m e
Once the audio cable is connected to your Sound Card, the WinTV application
can change the audio volume coming from the WinTV USB by adjusting the
Lin e In p u t s o u n d vo lu m e of the Vo lu m e Co n t ro l program in Windows.
The Vo lu m e Co n t ro l p ro g ra m is normally installed with Windows or by the
sound card installation program, and allows the control of volume from the vari-
ous sound sources. If you cannot hear sound when running the application,
check the volume level of Lin e In p u t in Vo lu m e Co n t ro l. The VolumeControl

Move the Win TV window in Tit le Mo d e by clicking and holding your mouse
button on the WinTV Title Bar, holding it down and dragging it to the new posi-
tion.
You can set a different size and a different place on your VGA screen for the
WinTV window in Tit le Mo d e and No Tit le Mo d e . Then by simply clicking with
the right mouse button, the window will switch from one saved size and place
on the screen to the other! Try clicking your right mouse button several times in
the middle of the TV window and see what happens.

(hold down the left mouse button when it is on one of the corners of the win-
dow) and then drag it to the preferred size, then release the mouse button.
For example, if you would like to watch without the tool/menu bars in a small
corner of the Windows screen, click the right mouse button inside the video win-
dow and the tool/menu bars will disappear. Then drag the window to its pre-
ferred size and location on the Windows screen. Now click the right mouse but-
ton inside the window and the application will now save the correct size and
location on screen for No Tit le Mo d e . Every time you select the
No Tit le Mo d e by right clicking in the window, the window will resize and

video frame. When one of these functions are clicked on, the next video frame
is moved into your PC’s main system memory instead of the VGA display. Your
PC’s processor then converts the digitized video image into a 24-bit DIB image
(a format which is used internally in Windows), and then copied back into the
VGA memory so that you can see the image which will be printed or saved. This
becomes a “frozen” image in the window.
The video images which are digitized can be saved to disk, printed to a color or
black/white printer or copied to the clipboard. These functions can be viewed
from the File menu:
There are a few things which need to be noted. First, because a video frame is
composed of two “fields”, an odd field with the odd lines in the image and an
even field composed of the even lines, there might be a distortion in the frozen
image if there was rapid motion while the image was being moved into main
system memory. This distortion is called “interlaced artifact”.
Another item to note is that the video image, when converted into a 24-bit DIB
image, will look lighter than it did when it was in motion. You can adjust the
image’s brightness, contrast and color saturation and hue by clicking on
Configure/Color. These adjustments are made during the digitizing process on
the board and will affect both the “live” image and the frozen image.

You can adjust the brightness, contrast saturation and hue of the live TV image
by using the color adjustment menu. Click on Co n fig u re /Co lo r to get the

Cre ating Digital Vide o movie s with
WinTV-USB
Ove rvie w o f Vid e o Clip Ca p t u re
Live video which is digitized by the video digitizer (see “How WinTV USB
works”) can be “captured” as a video sequence (or “video clip”) by using the
WinTV Capture program. This program is provided in the WinTV Application and
uses Microsoft’s WDM for Windows capability which is built into Windows 98
and 2000.
WinTV-Capture creates a file type called AVI (Audio/Video Interleaved) on your
hard disk. This file contains digitized video and, optionally, audio.
WinTV USB gives high quality captured video by storing uncompressed digi-
tized video in an AVI file. This compares with compression methods such as
JPEG and MPEG, where some loss of video quality is accepted in order to
reduce the amount of data stored. Uncompressed video capture creates high
quality digital video movies, but requires optimized system performance to
avoid lost video frames (called “dropped frames”.)
To create the best quality digital videos, use the following steps:
•
Compress/Edit, etc. by using the appropriate 3rd party software with these
functions
•
Edit the raw video. Add special effects, cut, paste, etc. using one of the
popular digital video editing programs such as Adobe Premiere, MGI
VideoWave or U-Lead MediaStudio.
•
After editing the video, compress the video for the playback target. For
example, if you are creating a video to be used in a multimedia presenta-
tion, compress with either Intel’s Indeo or Supermac’s Cinepak. If you are
creating a CD-Video, use MPEG compression to get up to 74 minutes of
video on a CD-ROM.

The Win TV-Ca p t u re program is an easy-to-use program that previews live
video, captures an AVI file to disk, and plays back the AVI file to your VGA
screen. Win TV-Ca p t u re can capture and playback video clips, but does not
provide video editing capabilities. Digital video editing programs such as Adobe
Premiere or U-Lead MediaStudio can be used to edit your digital videos.
With WinTV-Capture you can set the number of frames per second that are cap-
tured and the size of the video image. You need to experiment to determine how
much video your PC can store to the disk (in terms of image size and frames
per second) because capturing video clips is very CPU and hard disk intensive.
-Software Remote Capture window: Found in WinTV 2000

The maximum suggested video image capture size is 320x240. When playing
back the video on slower PC’s, a smaller image size might be needed. To set
the image size, click on FMT Button:

WinTV-USB Installation and Reference Manual
The WinTV-Capture program can use several different types of color formats
when capturing video clips. For highest capture performance, choose the YUY2
OR RGB formats. These give excellent capture image quality and frame rate,
but will give slow performance on playback of 320x240 image size videos.
YUY2 OR RGB formats are also good if you plan to edit your video clips with
Adobe Premiere or MediaStudio, and plan to compress the digital videos using
Cinepak or Indeo. If you do not plan to edit your videos and want good play-
back performance, choose a smaller image size (160x120). Capture and play-
back performance is determined by your system configuration, including CPU
and hard disk speed.
Se tting the num be r of fra m e s pe r s e c ond c a pture d
To set the number of frames per second captured, click on File/CaptureSetup:
The number of video buffers will depend upon how much RAM you have in your
system. The maximum number of buffers is 1000.
After setting the video format, the number of frames per second and possibly
creating a new file name (by clicking on File/SetCaptureFile), you can start cap-
turing video by clicking on the Capture Video icon.
Us in g Au d io w it h -Ca p t u re
To capture audio along with video, the WinTV USB must be connected to a
sound board capable of saving sound clips. To connect the USB to a sound
board do the following:
a) Make sure the audio output of the card is plugged into the LineInput of the
sound board.
3-3
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
WinTV-USB Installation and Reference Manual
b) Make sure the LineInput volume for recording is set correctly and not
muted. Open the Volume control panel, then click on Options/Properties. In
the panel Adjust volume for recording set for Recording. Make sure
LineInput is checked under Show the following volume controls and that the
volume for LineInput is not muted and is set at an appropriate level.
Capturing audio along with video puts a greater
strain on your PC than capturing video alone. If your
PC drops many frames while capturing audio and
video together, then capture the audio separately with
the audio capture utility from Windows. The audio can be merged
with video later on during the video edit stage.
S u g g e s t io n s o n c a p t u rin g vid e o
Captured image sizes can be either 160x120 or 320x240 pixels.
For the best trade off between image size and captured frames per second, use
a 320 x 240 image. With a 166MHz processor MMX (or better) and a reasonably
fast hard disk drive, you should be able to capture 30 frames per second using
the YUY2 OR RGB format.
The consumption of hard disk space is dependent upon the size of the video
image while capturing, the image format plus the number of frames/second.
Using the YUY2 OR RGB image format, the following chart shows hard disk
space consumed:

Video consumes quite a bit of hard disk space! At 320x240, you will only be
able to store about 10 minutes of video on a 1 Gigabyte hard disk!
To reduce the amount of hard disk space used by your digital videos, you can
edit the video using one of the popular 32-bit digital video editors (such as
Adobe’s Premiere or U-Lead’s MediaStudio). After editing, you can compress
the video using a software playback format such as Indeo or Cinepak (both of
these are supported by Windows98). Typical compression achieved by these
formats is 30:1.
Tip s o n im p ro vin g c a p t u re p e rfo rm a n c e
Do not use DoubleSpace or any other disk compression scheme! This severely
slows down your hard disk.
Turn off screen savers and do not connect to a local area network.
Most professionals capture video and audio separately. This allows them to “lay
down” the audio track on top of the video tracks while editing. Capturing video
separately will increase the performance of your video captures.
There are several hard disks on the market which are designed for higher per-
formance video captures. These drives use 1:1 interleaving and track caching
to eliminate gaps caused by a hard disk drive seeking to the next track. They
are available with both IDE and SCSI interfaces.

Teletext Data Reception us ing VTPlus (In
Europe ONLY)
Teletext is used in Europe and other parts of the world to transmit digital data
along with a television picture. Teletext data is transmitted in an invisible part of
the TV picture called the "Vertical Blanking Interval" or VBI.
Teletext data is normally formatted into pages. A master index is also transmit-
ted which lists the various categories that can be received, and which Teletext
page they are being transmitted on. Teletext data must be inserted into the VBI
by your TV broadcaster, and can only be received on the WinTV USB if the
Hauppauge Teletext decoder is installed.
An example of a Teletext page follows. Each Teletext page has a page number, a
date and the current time in the right hand corner:(The time shown in a selected
page will only Update if “Update Continuosly is selected- see later, in this
section).
VTPlus for WinTV USB is a sophisticated Teletext software application which
runs exclusively on the Hauppauge WinTV. VTPlus allows you to view multiple
Teletext pages, save or print Teletext pages and create Dynamic Data Links so
that Teletext data can be used in other Windows applications. The WinTV appli-
cation does not have to be active while the VTPlus Teletext application is run-
ning.

How WinTV-USB Works
Your WinTV-USB contains a 125 channel cable ready TV tuner, a video digitizer,
a video compression engine and a USB bus controller. WinTV-USB displays
video and audio in the following way:
Under software control, the WinTV-USB either tunes to a TV channel or selects
the external audio/video input source. The audio from the chosen source is
passed to the LineOut jack on the WinTV-USB, while the video from the selected
source is digitized and compressed. The compressed video is sent over the
USB cable into your PC.
Once the compressed video is in your PC, the WinTV-USB software driver
decompresses the video and sends a reconstituted frame to your graphics dis-
play adapter 30 times each second (25 times per second in Europe and other
PAL areas).
Your graphics display adapter then resizes the video image to fill the window
size that you have chosen for the WinTV window.
Typically, you will use the supplied audio cable to carry the audio signal from
the LineOut jack on the WinTV-USB to the LineIn jack on your sound subsys-
tem. Your sound subsystem will then mix this signal with other audio sources
before driving your speakers.
Since the decompression of video images is done by software, a processor with
MMX is required. The actual rate at which the frames are decompressed
depends on the clock speed of your processor, and on whether it is doing any
other "big" jobs, such as rendering complex web pages.

Trouble s hooting
This chapter includes troubleshooting help for solving common problems.
P ro b le m : Ba d c o lo rs in t h e TV w in d o w
If your VGA display is running in 256 color mode, the TV picture will be dis-
played with only 256 colors. This compares with the 16 million different colors
which are in the original TV image. The colors in the TV window will change
depending upon which Windows programs are being run, and what color
palettes are being used.
To fix this problem, first try running your VGA adapter at a minimum of 16 bits
per pixel. If you do not have enough memory on your VGA adapter to run at 16
bits per pixel in the current resolution, either lower the resolution (example: from
1024x768 to 800x600) or add more VGA memory to your VGA display adapter.
Erro r m e s s a g e : “c o u ld n o t fin d "k s c lo c k .d ll" o r o t h e r
file s o n t h e WIN9 8 CD”
Be sure that the directory is correct where windows is looking. Your cd rom
drive(D:\ for example). in some cases D:\win98 if the windows 98 files are locat-
ed on your harddrive(preinstalled on the system), it should be looking for c:\win-
dows\options\cabs
Erro r m e s s a g e : “e rro r c o d e 6 9 d u rin g in s t a lla t io n o f

Cancel and browse the CD rom. double click on the USB98.EXE file located in
the WIN98 Folder. after installing, the system will reboot.

Look in your systems BIOS for Legacy USB s upport and set it to ENABLED. A
bios update may be necessary if this setting is not present.
P ro b le m : P o o r TV p ic t u re q u a lit y
A poor TV image could be caused if your VGA display adapter does not have
enough video RAM to hold the TV image. In this case, resorts to Primary
Surface mode, which lowers image quality. A memory upgrade on your VGA
display adapter might fix this problem.
Another possible cause of this problem could be that your VGA display adapter

does not support Windows 98 Direct Draw. In this case, you might consider an
upgrade to a new Windows VGA accelerator which has Direct Draw support and
is compatible with the USB.
A poor video picture might also indicate a bad signal. To verify a bad signal, try
one or more of these:
Move your antenna or check your cable connection.
Move possible interference sources, such as other computers or television sets,
away from your PC.
Contact the cable company to check your signal quality.
P ro b le m : TV p ic t u re d is p la ys a b la c k s c re e n
The TV picture might display a black screen under the following conditions:
Momentary loss of signal
A weak video signal
Channel changing
A scrambled channel
Changing channels may cause a temporary black
screen. To fix the problem, switch the channel up or
down, then return to the original channel.
The audio might continue to broadcast, even though the video picture displays
a black screen. This indicates a strong audio signal and a weak video signal.
A scrambled channel is not a valid channel: Set Primary.exe to DIBDRAW
Mode!
P ro b le m : S n a p s h o t s d o n 't d is p la y c o rre c t ly
When using a 256 color palette, snapshots display incorrectly. To correct the
problem, try one or both of these:
Change your Windows color palette to 16-bit.
Copy the image to a graphics program and save the image as a 24-bit
image.
Primary Surface mode & DIB Draw
It is sometimes useful to use a mode of operation of your VGA card known as
Primary Surface mode or DIB Draw. This can be helpful in eliminating VGA com-

patibility problems, or improving picture quality on some VGA boards when
used in some resolutions.
To use Primary Surface mode, run the program "PRIMARY", which is installed
with the WinTV application. Click Start/ Programs/WinTV and then, Click on
Primary. Click on Force Primary or DIB Draw then close the program by clicking
on the X. The Primary program simply makes a setting in the Windows Registry
that tells the application to use the Primary mode or DIB Draw mode of opera-
tion.
This can be changed at any time to "Allow Overlay" by re-running Primary and
clicking Allow Overlay or DIB Draw.
