Preparing for Video Capture Testing

  • Article

Note  This content applies to the Windows Logo Kit (WLK). For the latest information using the new Windows Hardware Certification Kit (HCK), see Windows HCK User's Guide on the Windows Hardware Dev Center.

Before running the video capture tests, you must configure the system and install the operating system. This section summarizes the related procedures.

For a complete list of required hardware, software, and tester knowledge, see Video Capture Testing Overview.

Many of the tests in the Microsoft Windows Logo Kit (WLK) require a test system to restart (often more than once) to complete a test run. (The test description and the running instructions specify whether a test requires a system restart.) The WLK now configures the client system so that autologo is enabled. However, if the test is being run outside of the WLK, you may need to manually log on to the test system after each system restart so that the test run can resume. You can avoid this requirement by enabling autologon functionality on the test system. For more information about autologon, see How to turn on automatic logon in Windows XP.

Test System Configuration

To configure the test system for video capture testing, do the following:

  1. Install the appropriate Microsoft Windows operating system on the test system.

  2. Install the hardware to be tested on the test system.

  3. Install the manufacturer-supplied device driver, if necessary, on the test system.

  4. Check that the video capture device functions properly on the test system.

  5. If appropriate, enable autologon functionality.

  6. Set up DTM.
