Driver Installation and Configuration (USB 2.0)

Before connecting the docking station to the computer, it is important that you first make sure the computer does not automatically search Windows Update for the driver. This setting can be found under the “Hardware” tab in “System Properties”. You can get to the system properties window through either the “Control Panel” and the “System” icon or you can right click “My Computer” and click “Properties”:

Then click the “Hardware” tab, and “Windows Update”

Make sure you “Never search Windows Update for drivers”:

Be careful not to select “If my device needs a driver, go to Windows Update without asking me”. If you install the driver from Windows Update instead of the driver from the Sopro Imaging CD, the camera and docking station will not function properly with the computer. After completing the preceding steps, you may click “OK”, then “OK” again to get you out of system properties. You arenow ready to install the driver.

First, connect the docking station to any USB 2.0 port on the computer using the USB 2.0 certified cable provided with the docking station. If you must extend the length of the cable, contact Acteon Imaging Support for specifics on what equipment must be used. Once you connect the docking station to the computer, you should get the “Found New Hardware Wizard”:

Select “No, not this time”, then click “Next >”. At this point, you will get to the step stating “If your hardware came with an installation CD or floppy disk, insert it now.” Do not click anything. Instead, simply insert the Sopro Imaging CD and wait. The wizard will automatically advance to the next step. As the wizard advances, it will search for a driver for “USB 2820 Video”. The following dialogue will appear:

Now to configure the driver, we’ll use AMCAP, as this is a standalone utility program that can be used to configure the driver without installing any aplication software. To run AMCAP, you’ll need to browse the Sopro Imaging CD. First, open “My Computer”. Then, right click the “Sopro Imaging” CD and click “Open”:

Open the “Drivers SOPRO Usb1” folder:

If the check is not next to “USB 2820 Video”, click it. Once “USB 2820 Video” is selected, click “Options” and “Video Crossbar…”:

Click “OK”, then click “Options” and “Video Format (Capture) …”:

Change the “Color Space / Compression” from “YUY2” to “I420”:

Also, make sure the “Output Size” is “640 x 480”. If you do not have the option of “640 x 480”, check to make sure your USB ports are USB 2.0 compliant. Click “OK”. Next click on “Options” again then select “Preview.” This should give you a live image. You may now close AMCAP. You have now successfully installed and configured the drivers for the Sopro Intra-oral camera docking station.
