Test protocol

To ensure successful recording, we encourage you to follow the below test procedure the first time you use any Capture Card, especially if you are using a device not specifically listed as supported. In many cases, an unsupported device will work.

Testing procedure

1. Do a 15 minute A/V or A/V/V recording with the desired inputs.
2. Publish the capture and wait for processing.
3. Evaluate the processed capture. Does the output meet your standards?

2. Use the filtering drop-down lists and/or Search text box to find the room containing the Universal Capture for Windows device.
3. Hover your mouse over the Room tile to show the menu arrow in the top-right corner of the tile.
   
4. Click the menu arrow and select Configure.
   The Configure Room dialog box appears.
5. Select the desired Capture Card channel as the Video input selection for either Video-1, Video-2, or both.
