ubSwitch Utility (Windows only)

In order to use a DV camcorder with this controller,

Microsoft's FireWire 400 driver must be installed in the

system. We have supplied an easy to use utility that

allows switching between Microsoft's driver and the

FireWire 800 driver. Before using this utility, unplug all

devices from the FireWire 800 card.

The steps, taken from Windows XP, may be different

for other Windows operating systems.

Click Start, Programs, Unibrain ubcore, Tools

then ubSwitch.

Right click the ubSwitch icon located in the

system tray by the clock.

Click the 1394 Adapter that you want to switch,

then click on Microsoft 1394 Drivers.

Note: If your system has multiple 1394 adapters

installed, make sure that you click on the 1394

adapter that the camcorder will be plugged into.

Windows will display an information box when

the driver is ready for use. It may take a few

seconds for this box to appear.

Note: To switch back to the FireWire 800 driver,

follow the same procedures, but in step 3 instead

of clicking on Microsoft 1394 Drivers, click on

Unibrain 1394 Drivers.
