CHAPTER 1: Introduction

With PC IMAGE II, you can convert

your PC’s VGA output to be

displayed on a television or recorded

to a VCR. This capability, combined

with PC IMAGE II’s complete sound

card functions, brings audio and

video production to your PC.

Please take a few minutes to read

this introduction carefully. It details

the use of this manual and the

functional blocks of the PC IMAGE

II; and provides a glimpse of the uses

for this innovative device.

1.1 Block Diagram of PC Image

There are several sections to the PC

Image board. The combination of

these parts is what gives the PC

IMAGE it’s unique capabilities.

With PC IMAGE II, you can record

audio onto your hard disk from a

microphone, CD, or external (AUX)

device. MIDI data can play the on-

board FM synthesizer, or can be sent

to external synthesizers. All audio

sources can be mixed and modifed

via the mixer.

The video block of PC Image II takes

the external VGA signal and does

two things. First, it splits the signal

and passes part of it to the PC Image

II’s VGA port, for viewing on a VGA

monitor. Second, it connects the

signal to a televsion signal, and

sends it out to the PC IMAGE II’s

video out ports for recording and

display.

1. Introduction

PC IMAGE II

1.2 PC Image II Functions

•Business Presentations — Your

PC IMAGE II gives you the power

to record, edit, and play back all

applications requiring an MPC

audio adapter.

•Audio Mixer — PC IMAGE II’s

high-fidelity audio mixer ties

together CD-audio, sequenced

MIDI synthesizers, digitally

sampled audio samples, and

external audio and plays them

through whatever playback

system you want. You can mix

all your sound sources to a single

stereo output; play sounds

together; and solo, or pan them

from one side of the stereo field

to the other.

PC IMAGE II CHAPTER 1: Introduction

1.3 System Requirements

PC IMAGE II

This chapter is designed for people

who have a thorough under-standing

of both their PC and their video and

audio hardware. If you are not one

of these people, refer to the detailed

instructions beginning in Chapter 3.

2.1 Install the Hardware

Set the CD-ROM Jumpers

Your PC IMAGE II board includes

a CD-ROM interface. If you wish to

connect a CD-ROM drive, you will

have to set two jumpers. If you are

not using the CD-ROM interface, go

to the next heading.

Jumpers 15 and 16 set the IRQ level

and DMA channel for the PC

IMAGE II’s CD-ROM interface. Set

these so that they do not conflict

with other peripherals in your PC.

Connect the audio header cable.

Take this time to locate the audio

header. This unit is a long, flat,

ribbon cable with an expansion-slot

connector at one end. Plug this

cable into the back of the PC IMAGE

II board (see Figure 2-1). Pin 1 on

all of the board connectors is

indicated by a small triangle.

2. Quick Install

Figure 2-1. PC IMAGE II Board.

CHAPTER 2: Quick Install

Install the board.

Remove the cover from your PC and

install the board in an unused 16-bit

expansion slot. Secure the card with

the screw from the PC’s expansion

slot cover.

Install the audio-header cover.

Remove one of the slot covers from

the back of your PC. Route the

audio-header cable to the back of

the PC and install it in the

expansion-slot opening.

2.2 Connect External Devices to PC

IMAGE II

CD-ROM

If you are using a CD-ROM drive

with your PC IMAGE II, install it

now. Follow the instructions that

came with the drive, and use the

manufacturer’s supplied cables for

interfacing the drive to the PC

IMAGE II card. Connect both the

SCSI controller cable and the CD-

audio interface.

There are no jumpers to set when

installing the SCSI CD-ROM drive.

The settings are controlled through

the PC IMAGE II installation

software.

PC Speaker

You can hook up your PC’s speaker

to PC IMAGE II, although it is not

necessary. Unplug the PC speaker

from the motherboard, and plug it

into the PC IMAGE II board (see

Figure 2-2).

Do not plug in the internal speaker

if you are going to connect external

speakers. External speakers are

usually far superior to the PC’s

internal speaker.
