Installing the TerraCAM 2move 1.3
Installing DirectX 8.1
Frequently we realize that things don't always go as planned. With DirectX 8.1, Microsoft de-
livers a whole range of enhancements and bugfixes.
Please install theses updates first!
Installing the drivers
Please do not connect your TerraCAM 2move 1.3 to your PC at this time!
1. Please close all active applications.
2. Insert the driver CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.
3. Choose your language.
4. Click to start the driver installation.
5. Follow the instructions which will then be displayed.
The following messages will appear during the installation in Windows 2000/XP:
Continue the installation. The driver can be installed despite the lack of signature. The missing signature
has no effect on the quality or functionality of the driver.
6. Restart your PC.
7. Connect the USB cable to the socket of your TerraCAM 2move 1.3 and connect the other
end to a free USB port on your PC.
8. Follow the instructions which will then be displayed.
When the installation is complete, the TerraCAM 2move 1.3 will be available in all relevant
applications.
The TerraCAM 2move 1.3 will be listed in the Device Manager under “Imaging devices” as the
“TerraCAM 2move 1.3” and “TerraCAM 2move 1.3 Video Capture”.
10 TerraCAM 2move 1.3 (English )
To open the Device Manager, press and hold the Windows key (with the Windows logo) and
press the Pause key. This will open the System Properties window. In Windows 98SE or ME,
click the “Device Manager” tab; in Windows 2000 or XP, click the “Hardware” tab and the
“Device Manager” button.
Storing images and videos
We recommend installing Ulead PHOTO EXPRESS. You can find the program on the included
installation CD. Of course, you can also use your favorite graphics program to load your im-
ages and video on your computer. The graphics program must have a TWAIN interface for this
purpose, however.
You can then address the TerraCAM 2move 1.3 via the TWAIN interface as if it were a scanner.
If you would like to use Ulead PHOTO EXPRESS, please follow these instructions:
After the installation is complete, launch Photo Express. You will find the program under Start
-> Programs -> Ulead Photo Express 4.0 SE -> Ulead Photo Express 4.0 SE. Click Get Photo -->
Digital Camera.
Select the TerraCam 2move 1.3 as your data source. Click “Acquire” to display the contents of
the TerraCam.
