WinTV driver version 4.3
|
|
Note: This driver fixes problems with loss of color on S-Video source.
Note: This driver has improved compatibility with certain motherboards, including ALi. If you are using ALi motherboards, we recommend getting the latest ALi AGP Driver (version 1.82): It was developed to improve system stability with TV cards.
Also with ALi motherboards, set 'PCI Latency' in the BIOS to 10: some systems may have problems at any greater setting (i.e. 16,32, etc.).
If you get bad horizontal lines (with movement) when used with the Soundblaster Live Player 5.1., enable 'Delay Transaction' in the BIOS or using another soundcard will eliminate the line problem.
Installation instructions:
- Download this file (WTVDRV43_19301.EXE) and save it to a directory you will remember (for example: C:\)
- Run WTVDRV43_19301.EXE. This will unpack the driver and start the driver installation.
- Halfway through the installation you will be asked to Reboot. Do so to continue the driver installation.
- After the driver has been installed, you need to install the latest WinTV2000 application with the new video formats.
Download the WinTV application wintv2k40_21126.exe and save it to a directory you will remember (for example: C:\)
Run wintv2k40_21126.exe. This will install the updated WinTV2000 application. There is no need to reboot after this.

DScaler website
Hauppauge uses parts of the Descaler technology in our latest WDM drivers to provide a better TV picture from our WinTV PCI boards. We are grateful to the DScaler team for providing us with their de-interlacing routines.
You can get a fully functioning open-source DScaler application which aims to supply the best possible picture from your Hauppauge WinTV PCI board. At this time DScaler does not fully support the onboard tuners of our cards but works extremely well if you are using external sources such as laserdisc or DSS.
Note: This application is not recommended for PC novices. See the DScaler website (http://www.dscaler.org/) for more details and to download DScaler.
