Testing the VA11A with Movie Maker

Question

I am not sure whether I am having problems with the VA11A drivers or with my software.

'Is there some way to test my VA11A adapter and drivers outside of the X10 software? '

Answer

Yes, there is an easy test you can run if you are using Windows XP:

• Go into the Start menu and select Run. Type MOVIEMK and hit Enter.
• Go up to the File menu and select Capture Video...
• You should now see a Video Capture Wizard. Under Available Devices, you should see X10 Video Capture, VA11A Version 2.55. Click on it to highlight its icon, then click Next.
• On the following two screens, just click Next again.
• You should now be at the Capture Video section of the wizard. In the

Preview window, you should see a live video feed from your camera.
