Current Information
===========================
General information:
Information about installation:
If you have problems to install from disk you can also copy it into
a directory on your hard disk.Then assign a drive letter to this
directory by the SUBST command. Please refer to the MS DOS manual.
If you have installed a Windows network version, there may occur
problems resulting from the configuration. The miro software
has to be installed at the corresponding actual working place. The
installation program has to be able to copy drivers, applications and
configuration files to the local Windows directory of the computer at
the working place. Furthermore it is neccesary that the local files
SYSTEM.INI, WIN.INI, CONTROL.INI and MWINTOOL.GRP can be
modified / overwritten.
If you change your old graphic board by a miroCRYSTAL
graphic board or if you change one miro board by another,
you should reconfigure Windows to VGA. In this way you avoid
that a wrong driver may run on your new graphic board when
starting Windows and that your system may crashe. Install the
driver for the new board in the VGA mode.
Installation under Norton Desktop:
If you use the Norton Desktop instead of the Microsoft
Program Manager the miroWINTOOLS group (MWINTOOL.GRP)
which the installation program generates may not be
integrated in the Norton Desktop. Either start
the Program Manager (PROGMAN.EXE) as a symbol before (!!!)
starting the installation program or integrate this
group manually in the Norton "Quick Access" group after
the installation. Therefore open the drive window containing
the Windows directory and the "Quick Access" window
and drag the MWINTOOL.GRP file from the drive directory
window to the "Quick Access" window. Also refer to your
Norton desktop manual.
Information on Windows:
Up to now the miroTINTCONTROL-Tool works only in 8 Bit
color depth.
If you have problems by playing AVI files please act as follows:
1. Please assure that you install MS Video for Windows 1.1d version
or a newer one.
If you don`t install it there is no video accelaration.
When the installation was correct there are the following
lines in the file SYSTEM.INI in your [driver] section:
VIDS.DRAW=udh.dll
DCI=DISPLAY
2. Copy the files from CD to your hard disk to obtain better performance.
3. Please defragment the hard disk by the help of DEFRAG.EXE.
4. You should use 32 Bit access mode concerning IDE hard disk drives.
The error description "This is no miro graphic board" is due to the miroPinboard.
This Pinboard has been loaded in the win.ini file by another miro graphic board.
The miroVideo 12PD does not support the miroPinboard.
If you have problems with the scrubbing under adobe premiere 1.1 please
check that you have set the dithering option under project-preview-option.
If you move a box or a windows over a running video file, some
delay may happen.
In the 1152x768x8 resolution a scrabbled display may appear sometimes, when
an AVI file is playing.If you move the avi windows, the error disappears.
Information about interrupt allocation with the PCI-board:
When booting the miroVIDEO 12 PD requires an interrupt channel from the mainboard.
With elder mainboards this has to be done manually in
the mainboard setup utility or by setting jumpers on the mainboard.
Please read your mainboard manual and make sure that you select a free
interrupt channel.
With newer mainboards (e.g. Intel Plato) the interrupt channel
allocation is done by the mainboard BIOS. Conflicts with other
ISA-boards using the same interrupt channel are possible. In this case
you have either to reconfigure the ISA-board or
(if possible) tell the mainboard BIOS by the help of the setup utility that this
interrupt channel is already used by another board.
