1.0     Introduction

This file contains last-minute updates that are not found in the User's
Guide or in any addendum accompanying the display adapter.  Please read
this file before proceeding with the installation.

For information on installing the VIDEO-IT! please refer to the 
following sections in your User's Guide:

- "Quick Start"
- "Installing the VIDEO-IT! "        


GENERAL INFO for NEW INSTALLATIONS:

The VIDEO-IT! has been designed to work with Video For Windows 1.1.
	
-If an application installs Video for Windows 1.0 you will have to re-
install the VIDEO-IT! software.  

Applications that commonly install Video for Windows 1.0 are multimedia 
Games and applications that contain full motion video.

Please refer to your application's manual to determine which version of 
Video for Windows is installed.

-If you are using an ATI mach32 or mach64 graphics card and update the 
Windows display drivers you will have to reinstall the VIDEO-IT! to 
ensure complete functionality. 

****************************

2.0     Adapter Installation

Adapter installation, while greatly simplified through Windows install 
process, requires a step by step methodical approach to ensure that the
adapter does not conflict with other system resources and to ensure 
optimal performance.

The following technical information is an outline of the steps required 
to install an ATI VIDEO-IT! card. 

1)  Upon removing the VIDEO-IT! card from the box, record in your User's 
    Guide, the serial number (found on the non-component side of the 
    card). 

    The serial number will be helpful if you require ATI Customer 
    Support and will also be required to complete the Warranty Form.

2)  The following port addresses are available for the VIDEO-IT!:

    260, 280, 2A0, 340; and all aliases
    Note: Factory Default is 260      

    Check the system hardware for internal modems, FAX cards, LAN cards, 
    or other hardware devices that may be using the I/O address that you 
    select for use by the VIDEO-IT! card.
    
    The jumpers on the VIDEO-IT! board are used to change the port address:

JUMPER                          1&2     3&4     5&6     7&8

address =>260                   on      on      off     off
address =>280                   off     off     on      off
address =>2A0                   on      off     on      off
address =>340                   off     on      off     on

    Check and record the jumper settings for your VIDEO-IT! card if  
    you change them from factory default. 

Note:   You must run VIDITEST and select Update Configuration, if the port
	address is changed (see VIDEO-IT! DOS Diagnostics, Section 3 
	for further details)

4)  After powering down your system, plug-in the ATI VIDEO-IT!.

    If the system fails to produce text on the monitor after powering 
    back up return to Step 2 and re-check the installed hardware for 
    address conflicts.

    If no obvious conflicts are present, carefully remove all non-
    essential peripheral adapters (scanner, FAX/modem, audio, CD ROM       
    cards, etc.) to determine the nature of the conflict.

    As a last resort, if possible, see if the card works in a different 
    system.


5)  Once the system has properly booted, start Windows.

    Insert the ATI VIDEO-IT! Disk #1 in to driver A: or B:

    From the Program Manager, choose RUN from the File menu.

    Type A:\setup or B:\setup, depending on the location of the 
    VIDEO-IT! diskette, and click OK 

    Follow the on-screen instructions until complete.

****************************

3.0     VIDEO-IT! DOS Diagnostics 


The diagnostic program for the VIDEO-IT!, VIDITEST.EXE, is located in the 
ATI\VIDEOIT (default) subdirectory or it can also be found on Disk 1 
of the VIDEO-IT! diskettes.

To run the diagnostics type  VIDITEST.

Note: This test should not be run under Windows.

The Main Menu will contain the following options:

	Update Configuration File
	Hardware Diagnostics
	System Check
	
Update Configuration File

This MUST be run if you change port address for the VIDEO-IT! card.  

Note: If Update Configuration File is not used after an I/O change, the 
      VIDEO-IT Windows install will not detect the hardware.

Hardware Diagnostics

This selection allows you to test the operation and the hardware 
components of the VIDEO-IT!.

System Check

This selection checks your system configuration, displays detailed 
information including the boot files as well as any possible conflicts.

This option should be run and the results printed if you need Customer
