Although minREC is a software program you still need some hardware to get started:
1. You need a powerfull PC or Notebook with Windows 2000, XP or Vista (32Bit).
2. You need a grabber card. A grabber is a device that converts the analogue video signal, coming from the camera system, to a digital video signal which can be displayed on your Note. If you are one of the lucky guys who have a Note with a analogue video in, forget about the grabber.
3. The grabber has to produce a “raw video stream”, that is uncompressed video. Right now we recommend a USB2.0 device from Terratec called Grabster AV250 MKII or MX (only supports XP and Vista). Even better is a Grabber from The Imaging Sources. This one will provide full PAL resolution (768?576 pixel).
If you prefer FireWire video transfer, there are excellent products which produce a “raw video stream” too.
The program can be used by keyboard as well as with mouse. The management of the videos is handled by a 2-step hierarchy. Videos are recorded in mpeg4 avi format, pictures are stored in jpeg format. Filter functions and searching functions allow a easy finding.
