Power options when using cameras

Aim

To disable Fast startup on your computer. This prevents problems when recording videos from within EthoVision XT.

note By default the computer has the Fast startup option enabled. This can sometimes cause EthoVision XT and MediaRecorder to stop responding when selecting an input of the frame grabber board or camera. That problem has been found when using encoder boards for analog cameras, but we recommend to follow the procedure below for any type of camera you have.

Procedure

1.Open the Windows Control Panel, and select System & Security.

2.Under Power Options select Choose what the power button does. Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.

3.Under Shutdown settings, de-select Turn on fast startup (recommended).
