General information:

Information about installation:

        If you have installed a Windows network version, there may occur 
        problems resulting from the configuration. The miro software 
        has to be installed at the corresponding actual  working place. The 
        installation program has to be able to copy drivers, applications and 
        configuration files to the local Windows directory of the computer at
	the working place. Furthermore it is neccesary that the local files 
        SYSTEM.INI, WIN.INI, CONTROL.INI and MWINTOOL.GRP can be
        modified / overwritten. 

        If you change your old graphic board by a miroCRYSTAL 
        graphic board or if you change one miro board by another, 
        you should reconfigure Windows to VGA. In this way  you avoid 
        that a wrong driver may run on your new graphic board when 
        starting Windows and that your system may crashe. Install the 
        driver for the new board in the VGA mode.

Information on Windows:

        Up to now the miroTINTCONTROL-Tool works only in 8 Bit
        color depth.

        If you have problems with the scrubbing under adobe premiere 1.1 please
        check that you have set the dithering option under project-preview-option.

        If you move a box or a windows over a running video file, some
        delay may happen.

        In the 1152x768x8 resolution a scrabbled display may appear sometimes, when 
        an AVI file is playing.If you move the avi windows, the error disappears.
        
Information about interrupt allocation with the PCI-board:

        When booting the miroVIDEO 12 PD requires an interrupt channel from the mainboard.
        With elder mainboards this has to be done manually in
        the mainboard setup utility or by setting jumpers on the mainboard.
        Please read your mainboard manual and make sure that you select a free
        interrupt channel.
        With newer mainboards (e.g. Intel Plato) the interrupt channel 
        allocation is done by the mainboard BIOS. Conflicts with other
        ISA-boards using the same interrupt channel are possible. In this case
        you have either to reconfigure the ISA-board or
        (if possible) tell the mainboard BIOS by the help of the setup utility that this
        interrupt channel is already used by another board.
