========================================================================== DTV 2000 Windows 9x Driver Update README.TXT ========================================================================== Installation under Windows 95 ============================= IMPORTANT ========= This is an upgrade utility only. You must have a working DTV 2000 installation in order to upgrade to the latest software. To install the update, simply double-click on the downloaded file. A self-extractor window will appear. Click on 'Setup' to extract the files and the installer will come up automatically. Select either standard or custom installation, click next to view the readme, and next again to copy the appropriate files. Once files are finished copying, select quit. It is recommended that you restart Windows before running the Remote Control. Compatibility ============= This card is compatible with all graphic boards with DirectX 5 drivers, linear frame buffer access, a PCI 2.1 compliant motherboard, and support for PCI bus mastering. We have tested the following cards successfully: - Stealth 3D Seres (2000, 2000 Pro, 3000, 4000) - Stealth II Series (S220, G460) - Viper V330 More boards will be tested in the future. We recommend one the cards mentioned above for the best overlay quality. If you should have problems while dipsplaying TV, you can adjust the settings at: settings/overlay-preview and at settings/driver configuration. We are providing different standard settings for different graphics cards. Depending from your PC system additional changings could be necessary. Please still use the newest drivers for your graphics card. Motherboards: The PA-2005 motherboard from First International Computer, Inc. with the VIA VPI chipset does not work with the DTV 2000. The next version, the VPX chipset has fixed this bug. Remarks to the Graphic boards: The S3 968/868 chip contains a bug which may cause problems with the DTV 2000 card when starting up Windows 95. The bug is that the 968/868 states that it requires 32 Meg of frame buffer memory when it actually decodes 64 Meg of frame buffer memory on PCI. Sometimes the DTV 2000 card gets mapped by Windows 95 into the 968 upper 32 Meg of decode address. This problem causes a system hang up. The fix for this problem is to remap the DTV 2000 card. To do this follow these directions: 1. Start Windows 95 in SAFE MODE. 2. Run the application DTV20FIX which should be already in your Windows 95 directory ( e.g. C:\Windows ). After rebooting your system the bug should be fixed. If DTV20FIX is not in your Windows 95 directory, you'll find it in this archive under 'Win95'. Copy the two files DTV20FIX.EXE and SHIFTPCI.EXE manually to your Windows 95 directory. Issues Addressed ================ Fixed various graphical issues with Remote Control activity at all color depths. Improved overlay quality and picture stability. Fixed system font corruption after prolonged use. Corrected driver issue that would not let the system shut down properly. Features Added ============== None Known Issues ============ The DTV 2000 is not compatible with the edition of WebTV that is released with Windows 98. It requires a WDM capture driver, which is not available for the DTV 2000. We are currently evaluating the need for such a driver. The DTV 2000 does not capture audio, nor was it designed to. In order to capture audio, connect an 1/8" mini-stereo cable from the Audio Out jack on the DTV 2000 to the Line-In jack on your sound card. Ocassionally only one audio channel is active. We are currently invesigating this issue. Before changing the resolution, refresh rate, or color depth, please close the TV application. It may happen that you get a black / pink TV windows during capturing an AVI file. This performance problem should disappier if you decrease the TV window size. Though multiple TV and input windows can be opened only one can be active. Two buttons on the remote control may indicate TV but there is only one tuner. Most capture applications (e.g. Microsoft Netmeeting) will not operate with two or more drivers loaded at the same time. There should be only one active capture driver, others (e.g. Diamond S3 Live Video Driver) must be disabled in the control panel before: Settings - Control Panel - Multimedia: Advanced - Video Capture Devices: Select Driver - Properties and click at 'do not use...'. ================== Contacting DIAMOND ================== Diamond can be reached through a number of ways: Diamond - USA Postal Service: Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc.
