Problem/Question

How does the user have to proceed when the video capture card MAGEWELL Pro Capture Dual HDMI 4K Plus LT (usually used in computers connected to an iPEK camera equipment) doesn’t show any image in WinCan VX?

Solution/Answer

Please verify the following three issues prior to the installation of the MAGEWELL board:

  • Shut down your computer and unplug any other capture card

  • Reboot your computer

  • Launch WinCanVX and check the license: the slot ELECARD must be activated

  • Uninstall any previously installed capture card driver

 

Continue with the steps below:

  • Shut down your computer and make sure the capture card has been properly plugged into a free PCI/PCI-Express slot:
