Network Configurations for VA-SW8000 software - Sanyo

Tips and Troubleshooting
Issues with MPEG playback in the application may be caused by a conflict with another video application. This can be
confirmed and resolved by browsing to C:\Program Files\ if there is a directory named “InterVideo” browse to the
C:\Program Files\InterVideo\Common\Bin directory.
Confirm the presence of the following two files
“iviaudio.ax” and “ivivideo.ax”. You will need to change
these file names to: “~iviaudio.ax” and “~ivivideo.ax.
After you have re-named these files you will need to
browse (with My Computer or Windows Explorer) the
VA-SW8000 software CD root directory for the file
named, “Filter SDK_Runtime.exe”. Double click on the
Ted's Technical Tips 2006
file to reinstall the runtime SDK application and then reboot
the PC. The other video applications should not be
affected by this change, and the MPEG playback issues
should be resolved.

The graphics card system requirements at the beginning of this document are critical for satisfactory performance of the
casino software. The graphics card must be equal to or better than the recommended chipsets listed and the graphic card
driver must fully support Direct X9.0c or higher. To confirm the version of Direct X installed on your PC and determine
compatibility of your graphics card, select Start\Run on your PC desktop. Type “dxdiag” in the “Open” box and click
“OK”. This will launch the DX DIAGNOSTIC utility on your PC. When the utility has fully loaded the “System” tab
will display information about your PC hardware and the version of Direct X installed on the PC. Click on the
“Display” tab to confirm compatibility of your graphics card with the Direct X features. “Enabled” should be shown
next to each of the three displayed features (Direct Draw, Direct 3D, and Texture Acceleration). If any of these features
is un-available contact your Graphic Card vendor to obtain and install the latest device drivers. Following the driver
update re-boot and run “dxdiag” again. If any of the features are still un-available you may have performance problems
with video in the VA-SW8000 application. If this is the case I
suggest you upgrade the video card in your PC to one that
meets or exceeds the recommended chip sets listed in our
hardware requirements.
