I've tried installing the default driver that came with the disc that came with the device. I've also tried drivers from the two links listed above. There were originally three base models, DVC100, DVC130, DVC170 #Dazzle dvc 100 software mac install#īasically I can install the driver and power the device, but I can't get Win10 to use the driver.The DVC130 is not a simple Video Capture device, it is a partial hardware video compression device. The reason was Micronas / TDK acquired the technology and declined to continue manufacturing the chips.

Pre-Vista/Windows 7 64 bit, so there were never any 64 bit drivers which supported the DVC130. Later they revised the models to all be based on Empia chips, the model numbers were similar to the original model numbers, but the later models did not include a hardware video compression chip. So they were supported by the Empia driver when 64 bit versions came about.

The hardware option was very important when computers were much slower, it allowed video capture over USB2.0 when the computer might have choked by reducing the data rate and volume of the data being transferred.

Later faster computers, with faster hard drives and SSDs were sensitive, but not as much as older computers. Since the video was not compressed many felt this was higher quality, and that software compression was sufficient. The WISChip G7007SB performed some of the first steps in MPEG1, MPEG2 and DV video compression. mainly the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) which basically 'De-noised' or filtered the video in preparation for later software crunching steps to be performed on the computer. NOTE: There is not a TBC (time base corrector) feature in the design and no where in the WISChip. This is very important because when capturing from a Camcorder with a TBC built-in, or when capturing from a Tuner as a Broadcast signal. the video signal is far cleaner and 'correct'.

than when coming from most consumer VCRs. VCRs and the tapes they play corrupt and mangle the video signal in unique ways that a time base corrector can accomodate. (Some) time base correctors also have a video frame, field or line (buffer) to compensate for dropouts and bad frames which can abort or prevent capturing a good video signal. NEC was once of the first to design a DV with a TBC all in one chip. #Dazzle dvc 100 software mac windows 10#Īnd continued to include the TBC in subsequent chips.
