`
`3 Camera and software installation
`
`
`
`In order to maximize the video and audio performance offered by your camera, we have included
`a Philips installation program on CD-ROM. Please follow the directions for the camera installation
`exactly, and make sure that you have your Windows CD-ROM to hand.
`
`1. ! Unplug all your USB devices (except USB keyboard and USB mouse) before you
`start.
`! Do not plug in your USB camera yet.
`! Please follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.
`! You will have to restart your computer after installing new components.
`2. Insert the Philips installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
`3. Setup should start automatically. If this does not happen: double-click the 'My Computer' icon
`in the top left corner of the screen (for Windows®XP: in the Start menu), then double-click the
`'PCVC750K' icon and double-click 'Setup.exe' to start installation.
`4. Let the Philips installation program guide you through the setup procedure. Mark the different
`components you want to install (including the applications). You can always re-run this setup
`at a later time to add components to your installation or to re-install the camera drivers.
`
`
`
`
`5. When asked for the Windows CD-ROM, insert it into the drive and click 'OK'. Exit the
`Windows Setup screen if it appears.
`6. After copying the camera software and the application software to your hard disk, the
`installation program will install the selected applications and then launch the camera
`configuration program VCheck to install the camera drivers.
`
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`
`
`VCheck will ask you to connect the camera to the USB port at the appropriate time.
`
`
`
`
`
`
` A
`
` test will then be performed. This test window confirms correct installation by showing you
`the first 'live' pictures and audio from your USB PC Camera. Adjust the microphone volume
`by moving the slider.
`
`VCheck also gives tips for maximizing the camera's performance.
`
`7. Exit VCheck. Restart your computer. You should now have:
`- Program Group called 'Philips PCVC750K Camera' in the Windows Start menu.
`on the taskbar. (VProperty)
`- A camera settings icon
`- A VLounge icon
`on the Windows QuickLaunch menu on the taskbar. (Not on Windows
`2000 and XP.)
`- A VLounge icon
`on the desktop.
`- Installed applications, as selected by the user during the installation procedure.
`8. Plug in any USB devices that were disconnected during the first step of the installation.
`
`You are now ready to start working with your Philips USB Camera. Go to the central camera
`and... Have fun!

`

`
`4 Using the applications
`
`
`
`This section gives a brief description of how to use the video software packages included
`on the CD-ROM. If you have not yet installed these applications, please read 'Camera and
`software installation' for installation instructions.
`
`4.1 General
`
`VLounge is the central application for easy access to your Philips USB PC Camera and the video
`applications installed during setup, together with access to one application of your choice. You
`can start VLounge using the Windows QuickLaunch menu on the taskbar, through the program
`
`group 'Philips PCVC750K Camera', or by double-clicking the VLounge icon
`
`on the desktop.
`
`The buttons to the right in the VLounge windows will start the applications. If you did not install all
`the applications, some of these buttons will be greyed out and will not activate when the cursor
`moves over them, indicating that the application is not available. Please re-run the Philips 'Setup'
`installation program from the CD-ROM to install any missing applications.
`
`The other buttons and the menus offer access to other useful camera options.
`
`
`
`Where to get help on the applications
`
`For detailed information about the use of the software packages, please read the accompanying
`information for the relevant software. Each software package usually creates its own program
`group in the Windows Start menu, which is activated by clicking on the Windows Start button.
`These program groups contain the application program icon and other items (Help files,
`Electronic Manuals, Uninstall Wizards, Readme files, etc.) for the specific software package. All
`available information is accessible via the software's program group, or through the Help options
`within the program.
`
`
`

`
`

`
`5 Settings
`
`
`
`The camera properties (audio and video) can be changed from within an application, or
`independently by clicking the VProperty icon which can be found in the right hand part of the
`Windows taskbar at the bottom of your screen. Most applications can show a 'live preview' video
`image on your monitor. Always use this option to see the effect of changed settings on your
`screen. NOTE: Windows®XP may hide inactive icons. Hidden icons can be displayed by clicking
`the Unhide button on the taskbar.
`
`5.1 Image Controls
`
`The first property tab is marked 'Image Controls'.
`
`
`Performance
`This text box is used to inform the user about camera settings, problems or special
`circumstances. Important messages will show a flashing icon. The same icon also appears in the
`'Camera controls' tab to indicate that an important message is displayed in the Performance text
`box.
`
`
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`
`Control: Full Auto on/off
`This Full Auto mode provides a very easy way to get the best out of your camera. Or you can
`choose to have maximum manual control over the camera settings by switching the Full Auto
`mode off. Full Auto 'on' is the preferred setting for normal use.
`Functions activated in Full Auto mode are:
`- Automatic exposure control and automatic white balance control, to provide the best video
`source signal possible.
`- Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR) and automatic frame rate selection for improved camera
`sensitivity in low lighting conditions.
`
`Frame rate
`The frame rate setting determines the number of images per second in the video stream.
`
`The frame rate setting cannot be changed while Full Auto is on, as it provides automatic frame
`rate adaption. You will need to switch off Full Auto to change the frame rate manually.
`
`The set of frame rates from which the user can choose depends on the currently selected video
`format (resolution) and the available bandwidth on the USB bus (the number of devices
`connected to your USB port and the amount of data they transport). The buttons for invalid frame
`rates will be greyed out automatically and cannot be selected. To enable higher frame rates
`choose a smaller video image format in your application. Applications will usually offer resolution
`switching (image format setting) under menu items within the applications themselves.
`
`Image Controls
`Here you will find the slider controls for brightness, contrast, gamma correction and saturation.
`Note that the contrast control is only available when the Auto Exposure setting is enabled on the
`other tab (marked Camera Controls).
`
`Modes
`The checkbox 'Black and white' is used to switch from colour images to black & white and back.
`
`By clicking the checkbox 'Mirror Image', the image flips horizontally. This feature can be applied
`in order to use the camera and monitor as a mirror, or for taking pictures of mirrored images.
`
`Turn on the backlight compensation to improve the image quality when you have a scene
`where the background has a high level of illumination (for instance, when you are sitting in front of
`a bright light). Note that the backlight compensation option is only available when the Auto
`Exposure setting on the other tab is enabled.
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`
`5.2 Camera Controls
`
`The next tab is marked 'Camera Controls'.
`
`
`
`
`White Balance
`In Auto mode the camera automatically controls the different colour components in the picture to
`obtain the most natural colour reproduction. This setting is the preferred setting for normal use.
`
`The white balance settings cannot be changed without first switching off Full Auto in the 'Image
`controls' tab.
`
`Switch off the automatic white balance control to enable Manual control. The current colour
`setting will remain frozen and will not be influenced by the camera's internal controls. Put the
`white balance setting in Manual mode when you have a colourful scene and stable lighting
`conditions.
`
`Indoor / FL / Outdoor: These settings compensate for the specific colour spectrum of these types
`of lighting. However, these compensations are fixed, so under changing lighting conditions it is
`better to use the Auto setting. Use the 'Red' and 'Blue' sliders to control the white balance
`manually referencing to a fixed green setting.
`
`
`
`13
`
`

`
`xposure
`The exposure setting determines the amount of light that will fall onto the video sensor chip by
`controlling the gain and shutter speed.
`
`In Auto exposure mode the camera automatically adjusts the gain and shutter speed.
`
`The exposure settings cannot be changed without first switching off Full Auto in the 'Image
`controls' tab.
`
`In manual mode (no check mark in the Auto checkbox) you can control the gain and shutter
`speed settings manually. The manual exposure mode disables the controls for contrast and
`backlight compensation in the other property tab (marked Image Controls) and the flickerless
`control in this tab.
`
`Defaults
`If you like a particular setting for particular lighting conditions, you can use the Save and Restore
`buttons to save and restore this preferred setting. Should you wish to restore all standard
`settings, then click on the Restore button under Factory. The default values apply to both the
`'Image controls' tab and the 'Camera controls' tab.
`
`Performance icon
`The Performance text box on the 'Image Controls' tab is used to inform the user about camera
`settings, problems or special circumstances. Important messages will show a flashing icon. The
`same icon also appears in the 'Camera Controls' tab to indicate that an important message is
`being displayed in the Performance text box on the 'Image Controls' tab.
`
`Flickerless
`The Flickerless option should only be used under flickering 50/60 Hz light conditions (e.g.
`fluorescent or neon lamps) to prevent flickering or strangely coloured video images. If this option
`is used under normal lighting conditions the video image will tend to be overexposed. Note that
`the flickerless control is only available when the Auto Exposure setting is enabled on this tab.
`Please indicate under Mains whether your mains power frequency is 50 Hz (Europe) or 60 Hz
`(USA) so that the Flickerless control will work correctly.
`
`
`
`14
`
`

`
`5.3 Audio Controls
`
`The third tab is marked 'Audio Controls'.
`
`
`
`
`Volume slider
`This slider provides manual control over the microphone volume. The 'Volume Wizard' helps you
`to select the correct sound level setting for the slider control.
`
`Balance slider
`Not implemented since the camera microphone itself produces a mono audio signal.
`
`Mute
`Shuts off the microphone completely. This option will be greyed out and cannot be used if it is not
`available.
`
`Volume Wizard (Automatic volume setting)
`By pressing the 'Volume Wizard' start button, an Automatic Gain Control cycle is started for the
`camera microphone to determine the optimum volume setting. Speak into the microphone until
`the Volume Wizard stops or until you press Cancel.
`
`Audio Format
`Audio format shows the parameters of the audio data. You can change these parameters in your
`application in the same way as the resolution setting, for example.
`
`
`
`15
`
`

`
`Performance icon
`The Performance text box on the 'Image Controls' tab is used to inform the user about camera
`settings, problems or special circumstances. Important messages will show a flashing icon. The
`same icon also appears in the 'Audio Controls' tab to indicate that an important message is being
`displayed in the Performance text box on the 'Image Controls' tab.
`
`Set preferred recording device
`Clicking this button makes the Philips PCVC750K camera the preferred recording device. This
`button will be disabled if the Philips PCVC750K audio device is already selected as your
`preferred recording device. Windows stores the user's preferred recording device in its
`multimedia settings. Applications can use this setting for selecting a user-preferred audio source.
`
`Use preferred devices only
`Use this option to enforce or stop using the preferred device only. For most camera applications it
`is preferable to check this option.
`
`5.4 Capture Source
`
`Some applications may offer you a fourth tab called 'Capture Source'. Usually this setting has
`only one option when the USB PC Camera is the only video source connected to your computer.
`However, if more than one video source is connected to your system, you can switch between
`them here. Applications that do not show this fourth tab will offer video source switching under a
`different menu item within the application itself.
`
`NOTE: If you have two or more Philips USB cameras connected to your computer, they can only
`be used one at a time.
`
`
`
`16
`
`

`
`6 TWAIN applications
`
`
`
`Use the camera's voice control feature (say 'Cheese') to be sure to capture an image of you
`smiling. The Philips USB PC Camera is TWAIN-compatible (like a scanner), so you can use the
`camera as an input device for any application software that uses TWAIN as a data source (e.g.
`photo editing software).
`
`IMPORTANT NOTE: Windows®XP might start a generic WIA interface (Windows Image
`Acquisition) when you choose the camera device name with the WIA prefix as your source device
`for image capture, instead of the TWAIN View Finder depicted below. This Microsoft® WIA
`interface allows you to capture still images with your camera, but without the advanced
`capabilities of the TWAIN software described below (e.g. no voice control feature). Please select
`the 'Philips ToUcam Camera' as your TWAIN source device for acquiring still images with your
`camera.
`
`6.1 Capturing images from within applications
`
`In TWAIN-compatible applications you will see the Philips USB PC Camera listed as an available
`TWAIN data source among your other TWAIN sources (e.g. scanners). Just pick the USB PC
`Camera as your source, to capture camera pictures directly into your application. Then choose
`'Acquire' to launch the camera viewfinder, which displays the moving video picture.
`
`To capture a still image, say 'Cheese', click on the 'Capture' option under the viewfinder, or push
`the snapshot button on top of the camera.
`
`
`
`
`
`17
`
`

`
`6.2 Capture settings
`
`To the right of the 'Capture' button you will find the 'Adjustments...' button, which is used to
`change the settings. Clicking the 'Adjustments...' button will bring up the following window.
`
`
`
`Camera source
`Usually this setting features only one option when the USB PC Camera is the only video source
`connected to your computer. However, if more than one video source is connected to your
`system, this is where you switch between them.
`
`The 'Camera Controls' button will bring up the other camera setting tabs as described under
`'Camera Settings'.
`
`Image formats
`Here you can select the size of the still image to be captured. To the right of the still image format
`the streaming image format indicates the size of the preview window independently of the still
`image format.
`
`
`
`18
`
`

`
`Single Image Capture - 'Voice Controlled' snapshot
`(This option will be disabled (greyed out) when Auto Image Capturing is enabled)
`The 'Voice Controlled' check box disables/enables voice controlled capturing. If this function has
`been enabled the user can start capturing by saying 'Cheese' (or pushing the 'Capture' button in
`the Viewfinder or pressing the camera's Snapshot button).
`
`The countdown timer selection box sets the capture delay time between triggering the capture
`(pressing the 'Capture' button, the camera Snapshot button or saying 'Cheese') and the actual
`capture of a still image. During countdown, a countdown timer will be visible and the camera
`indicator LED will start flashing.
`
`Auto Image Capture
`
`•
`
`In the 'Auto Image Capture' section you can enable the Auto Capture function together
`with an appropriate timer interval. This function triggers the capture of images at
`adjustable, regular intervals. The 'Capture' button in the View Finder changes to an 'Auto
`Start' button to indicate this selection, and the Voice Control option will become
`unavailable.
`• Leave 'Incremental File Save' unchecked if you want to overwrite the previous image
`when capturing a new one. If you do check this box, the picture data is saved under the
`selected filename but extended with one or more digits. This digit is increased for each
`new image so that the previous images will not be overwritten.
`• You can enter a name for the captured images at 'File Name', or browse until you find a
`suitable name to use. Use 'File Type' to choose between four supported file formats:
`BMP, TIF, JPG, or FlashPix. Use the Options button to define file type specific save
`options for the selected file type. (Only the file types BMP and JPG have options).
`
`Shutter sound
`
`• You can choose a sound file for the shutter sound when an image is captured. Normally
`this is a clicking sound resembling the sound of a camera shutter. Uncheck the Play
`Shutter Sound box to disable the shutter sound.

`
`7 Tips and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
`
`
`
`7.1 Tips
`
`Installing/uninstalling the camera
`
`• Always use the Philips installation CD-ROM to install the correct camera drivers, as
`described below. Do not connect the camera to a USB port before installing the Philips
`drivers. If you do this, Windows will try to install its own drivers, which might be less
`compatible with the camera than the Philips drivers. You must have Windows running
`and have the Windows CD-ROM to hand.
`• Your USB controller should be working correctly. You can check this in the Windows
`Device Manager (Click on the My Computer icon on your desktop, right-click Properties,
`then click on the Device Manager tab (for Windows®XP & 2000: Start / Control Panel /
`System / Hardware / Device Manager)). An icon with the name 'Universal serial bus
`controller' will now be visible. Click on this icon and Windows will tell you if this part of
`your computer system is operating correctly.
`• Uninstall the driver software by using the Add/Remove option in the Start - Settings -
`Control Panel - Software window (for Windows®XP & 2000: Start / Control Panel /
`Software).
`
`IMPORTANT NOTE:
`If the installation program asks you to place a different CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive,
`for instance the installation CD-ROM or the Windows CD-ROM, always wait until:
`
`•
`
`•
`
`the 'busy' cursor icon (usually an hour-glass icon) has disappeared from your
`screen, and
`the 'busy' LED on your CD-ROM drive extinguishes,
`
`before pressing the eject button on the CD-ROM drive.
`This will prevent a blue Windows Error message appearing, prompting you to reinsert
`the last CD-ROM into the drive.
`Should you encounter this Windows Error message, correct the error by reinserting the
`CD-ROM you removed and wait for Windows to finish reading from the CD-ROM.
`
`
`Camera performance and system requirements
`In VGA resolution, this digital USB PC Camera provides a very large data stream, which needs to
`be processed in real-time by the application you are using. Although the camera will perform
`satisfactorily on a Pentium II with 32 MB RAM at the lower resolutions, we recommend a more
`powerful computer for optimum performance at the highest resolution. We regret that optimum
`camera performance cannot be guaranteed if the computer only meets the minimum system
`requirements.
`
`Using more than one camera
`If two or more Philips cameras of the same type are connected to your computer, only one of the
`cameras can be used at any one time.
`
`
`
`
`
`20
`
`

`
`USB
`You can connect the camera to any USB port on your computer. The computer does not have to
`be switched off. USB ports are 'hot-swappable', which means that you do not have to restart
`Windows every time you connect a new USB device. The USB driver will detect the camera as
`new hardware. It can be used within a few seconds, without the need to restart the computer.
`If you unplug the camera while it is actively providing an audio or video stream to an application
`on your computer, the computer may crash. To avoid these problems, first close any applications
`using audio from the camera microphone or video from the camera before unplugging the Philips
`USB PC Camera.
`
`
`Driver software check
`You can determine if the camera is installed
`correctly, and if it is being recognized by the
`operating system, by checking the Device M
`anager
`menu in System Properties.
