Video Capture: Compatibility with Motherboards & Systems
Contents:
SYSTEM SETUP FOR BEST VIDEO CAPTURE AND PLAYBACK PERFORMANCE
The video capture and playback performance of a system is based on the
type and speed of the components that make up the system. The faster
the microprocessor, the video card, the controller and the hard drive,
the better the video capture and playback performance will be.
The following types of system components are recommended for best video
capture and playback:
System Bus: PCI or VESA Local Bus systems that can use 32-bit PCI or
VESA Local Bus add-in boards
Processor: Intel486DX-50 or Intel486DX2-66, Pentium 60 or 90Mhz
Video Card: PCI or VESA Local Bus accelerated video cards that speed
up Windows performance
Controller: PCI or VESA Local bus SCSI or enhanced IDE hard drive
controllers
Hard Drive: SCSI or enhanced IDE hard drives with fast access speeds
and sustainable data rates
Ram: 32 MB
Video Drivers: Minimum 640x480x256-colors
Note: A Windows compatible sound board is recommended for capture
and playback PCs.
For more detailed information regarding capturing video using a Pentium
processor-based PC see document 8001 (The Pentium Processor PC: The
Right Choice for Multimedia Computing.
MOTHERBOARD COMPATIBILITY - GENERAL NOTES & COMPATIBILITY TABLE
An Intel486SX-25 microprocessor-based motherboard (or higher) is
required to use the Intel Smart Video Recorder.
The following table provides a list of motherboards that are compatible
with the Intel Smart Video Recorder (ISVR) and Intel Smart Video
Recorder Pro (ISVR Pro). Unless otherwise noted, there are no known
issues. Customer report indicates that Intel has not tested the
motherboard, the information was gathered from our technical support
group while assisting a customer.

AST BRAVO 486SX/25 MOTHERBOARD
The Intel Smart Video Recorder was tested with the AST Bravo 486SX/25
motherboard and found to be compatible.
Note: I/O addresses 360 and 3B0 produced intermittent noise when
used by the Intel Smart Video Recorder. No other board in the system
was set to either of these addresses.
COMPAQ XL4/66 SYSTEM - COMPATIBLE
You may get IRQ conflicts when installing the Intel Smart Video Recorder
into the COMPAQ XL4/66 system as the SCSI is coded at IRQ 15, and on the
board network is coded at IRQ 11. This means the Intel Smart Video
Recorder board has to go to IRQ 9.
COMPAQ SYSTEMPRO 486DX/33 MOTHERBOARD
The Intel Smart Video Recorder and Intel Smart Video Recorder Pro were
tested with the Compaq SystemPro 486DX/33 motherboard and found to be
conditionally compatible.
Use of IRQ 15 caused a conflict of unknown origin. All other boards in
the system were set to use interrupts other than IRQ 15.
GATEWAY 2000 4SX-33V 486SX/33 MOTHERBOARD
The Intel Smart Video Recorder and Intel Smart Video Recorder Pro were
tested with the Gateway 2000 4SX-33V 486SX/33 motherboard and found to
be conditionally compatible.
Use of IRQ 15 caused a conflict of unknown origin. All other boards in
the system were set to use interrupts other than IRQ 15.
IBM VALUEPOINT 433DX MOTHERBOARD - CUSTOMER REPORT
A customer reported that the Intel Smart Video Recorder is incompatible
with the IBM Valuepoint 433DX motherboard.
Other customers have reported problems with IBM PS Valuepoint 486DX2 66
systems. These systems fail the diagnostics for IRQ conflict and produce
an error "initializing capture device" when loading VidCap.
OPTIMUM 486WB-66 MOTHERBOARD - CUSTOMER REPORT
A customer reported that the OPTimum 486WB-66 motherboard is not
compatible with the Intel Smart Video Recorder. The DOS installation
program reports the message, "unable to locate an available IRQ," and
the board installation fails. The OPTimum 486WB-66 uses an OPTI chipset
and MR BIOS.
