IOMEGA BUZ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH THE ARIEL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS SYSTEM January 1999 NOTES: Buz Multimedia Producer is a technologically sophisticated package. Ensure your system has the latest video and audio drivers installed. It is recommended that you optimize your hard drive using the Windows 95/98 system tools such as Scan Disk and Disk Defragmenter. Before installation, disable all system crash recovery, anti-virus software, or other background-running software. For additional troubleshooting information, see Iomegas web site: www.iomega.com.

The steps for installing the updated drivers are listed below. Buz Drivers Version 1.2 Installation Instructions 1. UnZip the Buzupdate file: a. Double click on the file "Buzupdate" b. Select UnZip from the WinZip Self Extractor window c. Write down the directory where the file is extracted d. Select "OK" after the WinZip Self Extractor window appears e. Close the WinZip Self Extractor window The Buzupdat.exe file will extract twelve files (some are system files and may not appear in Explorer); Buz.inf Buzup.bat Readme.txt (this file) Ctdmamem.dll H22capt.dll H33drv.dll I2xirq.vxd Mgi16.dll Mgi32.dll Simovl16.dll Simovl32.dll Vdmamemd.dll 2. Click on the "Start" button. Select "Settings", "Control Panel". Double click on the "System" Icon and then select the "Device Manager" Tab.

MJPEG IMAGE ORDER
A standard video picture is made up of odd and even lines across the screen. Television standards require these lines to be interlaced. This means only half of the lines are displayed in one field. The first (odd) set of lines is displayed in the first field while the second (even) set of lines is displayed in the second field. These two fields comprise a frame, which is a complete picture. When capturing a video sequence utilizing the full speed provided with today's video standards, it is normally required to use special VCR equipment with field-by-field stepping capabilities. Industry standard hardware and APAS software modules make it possible to capture video sequences from a VCR or camcorder directly to the computer hard drive without special requirement of expensive VCR equipment. Any VCR can be used as a video source with the APAS. The APAS system uses hardware and software that has Motion JPEG image hardware compression that also complies with the major hardware vendors. After capturing the video to the hard drive, the APAS system allows separation of each frame to its two component fields. Depending on the hardware and software combinations used for recording and displaying the AVI files, it is possible for the order of the displayed fields to be reversed. It is also possible for the same AVI file to play in normal order on one computer and in reverse order on another computer! For this reason, the Ariel CAPTURE, TRIM and DIGITIZE programs provides the option to specify the order for displaying the images of the AVI files. If it appears that the images are "jerky" or are being displayed in a "zigzag" manner, the field order probably needs to be reversed. The field order is specified using the following steps.
CAPTURE PROGRAM TRIM PROGRAM DIGITIZE PROGRAM WINDOWS WIN.INI FILE The Image Order information is stored in the WIN.INI file. Once this parameter is set in the Capture, Trim, or Digitize module, the Ariel software will remember the current setting. The following information is listed in the WIN.INI file of the APAS computer. [APAS System Information] ReverseFields=0 NtscPal=0 When Reverse Fields is set to 0, the APAS software reads the video fields in normal order. When the Reverse Fields is set to 1, the video fields are displayed in reverse order.
