Instruction Manual

Installation

WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely

damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before

opening your computer case or touching your PCI Express card. StarTech.com

recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer

component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any

static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such

as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the PCI

Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

Hardware Installation

The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot on any compatible

system. Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’and locks into place. To eject the

card, simply push the card further into the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will

then be automatically ejected from the slot.

NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not rmly hold an ExpressCard/34 card, so a

34mm to 54mm stabilizer bracket may be necessary (StarTech.com ID: ECBRACKET).

Driver/Software Installation

1. Upon starting Windows, if the “Found New Hardware” wizard appears on the screen,

cancel/close the window and insert the included Driver CD into the computer’s CD/

DVD drive.

2. AutoPlay should automatically prompt you to run “Setup.exe”. If not, open “My

Computer” and double-click on the CD/DVD drive. Double-click the “Setup.exe”

icon.

3. Proceed through the Installation wizard.

4. Complete the wizard and this should automatically install all necessary drivers/

software. An icon for “StreamCatcher” should now be on the desktop.

Instruction Manual

How to Use

Connect the video/audio HDMI source to the video capture card using the appropriate

HDMI cable.

Stream Catcher

Double-click the “StreamCatcher” icon on the desktop to launch the video

Initial Setup Note: If you have a video source connected, but are not able

to view anything in the video window, go to the “Settings”section rst, to make sure

the “device” is congured properly. If using an HDCP protected video source (i.e. retail

Blu-Ray movie), this will also result in no video preview/capture.
