Procedures
Installation Procedures
New Systems
1. Unplug all electrical cords on your computer.
2. Remove the system unit cover.
3. Locate the AGP bus expansion slot. Make sure this slot is unobstructed.
4. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from the computer chassis.
5. Ground yourself to an antistatic mat or other grounded source .
6. Pick up the board (still in its sleeve) by grasping the edge bracket with one hand
and then remove the plastic sleeve.
7. Position the card directly over the AGP slot and insert one end of the board in
the slot first. Firmly but gently press the bus connector on the bottom of the card
down into the slot. Be sure the metal contacts on the bottom of the host adapter
are securely seated in the slot.
8. Anchor the board’s mounting bracket to the computer chassis using the screw
from the slot cover that you set aside previously.
9. Replace the cover on the system unit.
10. Connect your analog monitor’s 15-pin VGA connector to the card and fasten
the retaining screws (if any).
11. Connect other cables and devices if available -You are now ready to install the
software drivers and utilities.
Systems with Existing VGA Card
1. Change your display driver to Standard VGA.
2. Shut down your computer and unplug all electrical cords.
3. Replace the existing VGA card with your graphics card.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Install the ASUS V7100 series display driver.
NOTE: This graphics card series can only be installed in motherboards with an
AGP slot.
WARNING! Computer boards and components contain very delicate Integrated
Circuit (IC) chips. To protect the computer board and other components against
damage from static electricity, you must follow some precautions.
1. Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing
expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.
2. Keep all components such as the host adapter in its antistatic bag until you
are ready to install it.
3. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do
not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a
metal object, such as the power supply case. Hold components by the edges
and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or circuitry.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
component whenever the components are separated from the system.

Operating System Requirements
NOTE: This graphics card requires a motherboard with an AGP slot.
Windows 98
Windows 98 supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are still using the beta
version of Windows 98 and you want to fully take advantage the Direct3D and AGP
features, you must upgrade it to the release version before installing the AGP dis-
play driver.
Windows 98 includes VGARTD for the major chipsets but it is recommended that
you install VGARTD from the ASUS AGP-V7100 Series CD to make sure that you
have the latest version of VGARTD (see 3. Software Setup | Install GART Driver).
NOTES
•VGARTD stands for Virtual Graphics Address Remapping Table Driver, which
is necessary to use the DIME feature of AGP. DIME means Direct Memory
Execute, which is accessed directly by most AGP chips (when VGARTD is
installed) for complex texture-mapping operations.
•For other notes or release information, see the README files in the installa-
tion CD disc.
•This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that
Windows is in C:\WINDOWS. Replace either with the actual location, if
necessary.
IMPORTANT!
•To avoid damage to your graphics card, unplug your computer’s power
supply before inserting your graphics card into the AGP slot.
•Make sure that the power supply of your motherboard can provide enough
electrical current on the 3.3V lead to maintain normal operation.
•The ASUS VR-100 Optional Upgrade Kit must be installed to enable the
the ASUS VR-100G 3D glasses to be used with the Pure models.
•Windows 98 and VIA Systems: If your motherboard has a VIA-based
chipset, the VIA VGARTD must be installed in normal mode.

Background
Background is set in conjunction with Foreground to
extend or stretch the histogram chart on the D3D OSD
box to scale the depth of 3D objects. On the D3D OSD
box, move the Foreground slider to the left to adjust
Foreground to the Z value of objects toward 1.0. On
the Advanced dialog box (see above), several current
games set their Background to 100.
Blind
Lets you discard or crop the unwanted areas“ ”garbage
of your leftmost/rightmost display. Setting this to 0 will
not discard any of the display area while setting it to a
higher value will clear them.
Tips
1. Make sure that the 3D objects of your games
do not appear extremely separated between
the scenes of two eyes, especially near ob-
jects.
2. Make some objects appear outside your screen
and other objects inside the screen. A ratio of
1:3 to 1:5 of objects outside and inside is rec-
ommended.
3. For car racing games, you can use Emboss-
ment to make just your car appear outside the
screen.
4. For first-person shooting games, you can use
Embossment to make just your hand/weapon
appear outside the screen.
Foreground
Foreground is set in conjunction with Background
to extend or stretch the histogram chart on the D3D
OSD box to scale the depth of 3D objects. Some
games require only a little range of Z to make bad
stereoscopic effect. On the D3D OSD box, move
the Foreground slider to the left to adjust Foreground
to the Z value of objects stretched toward 0.0. On
the Advanced dialog box (see above), several cur-
rent games set their Foreground to 60.
VR Effect

scopic effects for your Direct 3D games.
Enable Stereoscopic Mode
When selected, this enables you to use the stereo-
scopic mode when playing games or watching 3D

The OSD Histogram Chart lets you determine at which Z range 3D objects are located and how they gather.
For example, if this chart (simulated) was displayed on a car racing game, the vertices to the left of the E line
could be the model of your car and to the right of the E line could be the road, houses, other cars or trees in
front of your car.
So, with this information, you could
• Adjust Embossment by moving the E line.
• Adjust Foreground/Background, thus stretching the histogram to make objects more evenly distributed.
NOTE: Using the histogram chart requires games using Direct3D 6.0 or earlier.

Enable fog table emulation
Some old games do not correctly query the D3D hardware capabilities and expect table fog support. Choos-
ing this option will ensure that such games will run properly.
Adjust Z-buffer depth to rendering depth if unequal
This option forces the hardware to automatically adjust the depth of its Z-buffer to the depth that the applica-
tion requests. Normally, you will want to keep this option enabled, unless your work absolutely requires a
specific Z-buffer depth.
Enable alternate depth buffering technique
This option lets the hardware use a different mechanism for depth buffering in 16-bit applications. Enabling
this setting can produce higher quality rendering of 3D images.

Command Buffer Location
Command Buffer Location lets you choose the location of the command buffer. Default setting is Strict
AGP.
Strict AGP
This option forces all the command buffer into the AGP memory. Choose for best performance.
PCI
This option forces the command buffer to be created into the PCI memory. If you are experiencing stability
problems with your system (especially with some Socket 7 motherboards), choose this option for better
compatibility.
PCI with reduced heap
This option forces the command buffer to be created into the PCI memory. This, however, also reduces the
AGP heap size by an amount equal to the size of the command buffer. If you are experiencing stability
problems with your system (especially with some Socket 7 motherboards), choose this option for best com-
patibility. Performance is, however, poorer using this option compared with the option.PCI

PCI Texture Memory Size
NOTE: This setting applies only to PCI display
adapters or to AGP display adapters running in
PCI compatibility mode.
PCI Texture Memory Size lets you set the amount
of system memory for texture storage.
Clicking the up arrow increases the memory size while
clicking the down arrow decreases the size of system
memory for textures. The maximum amount of sys-
tem memory for texture storage depends on the physi-
cal memory installed on your system.
Vertical sync
Vertical sync lets you select how an image should
rendered to the screen. lets an imageAlways off
to be immediately rendered to the screen without waiting to be synchronized with the vertical retrace of the
monitor. This option allows for frame rates higher than the refresh rate of your monitor. This may, however,
produce visual artifacts and tearing, resulting in reduced image quality. If this occurs, select Always on.
Auto-select (default) selects the best rendering technique depending on your monitor.
More Options
Pre-Rendering
Maximum pre-render frames allows you to limit the
number of frames the CPU can prepare before they
are processed by the graphics chip when vertical sync
is turned off. Reduce this value if you experience, while playing games, a noticeable delay in the response of the
input devices connected to your computer.
Texel Alignment
Changing these values will change where the texel
origin is defined. The default values conform to the
Direct3D specifications. Some software may expect
the texel origin to be defined elsewhere. The im-
age quality of such applications will improve if the
texel origin is redefined. Dragging the slider to the left positions the texel origin
toward the upper left corner and to the right positions it
toward the center (range: 0 to 7, default: 3).
Hardware Antialiasing Control
Hardware Antialiasing Control lets you determine
the amount of antialiasing to be applied in a par-
ticular D3D application. Antialiasing is a technique
used to minimize rendering artifacts, such as the
“ ”staircase or jagged effect seen along the edges of 3D objects. Select Force antialiasing in all applica-
tions to force antialiasing in applications that do not directly support it. Note that some applications that do
not explicitly support antialiasing may not display properly or may render irregular images. Use this option
with care.

Windows 98 Only
NOTE: The ASUS VideoSecurity utility can only be used with models with Video-
In/TV-Out.
ASUS VideoSecurity lets you detect intruders into your system and environmental
changes and monitor a specified location or any incoming visitor. If VideoSecurity
detects any deviation from the norm that you set, it may give an error message or
not. Regardless of any messages, VideoSecurity will record:
•Any information about the monitored activity and then store these to an event log
file. If you have already installed Microsoft Access 97 or later, you may use these
event log data and export it as an Access database for further data management
and processing.
•The last two detected snapshot image files from the video captured stream (stored
as bitmap format). Any image processing or editing software can then be used to
view, modify, or distribute them.
Limitations
Because of differences in hardware sensitivity, VideoSecurity may not completely
detect all possible errors. Before you execute VideoSecurity, there are some limita-
tions you have to understand so that you can appropriately use it.
•Due to changing temperatures, the captured image of some CCDs will be twisted,
which may give a wrong detection.
•If the features (e.g., color, luminance) of the object are similar to that of back-
ground, the object may not be detected clearly.
•The CCD cannot capture the object smoothly and immediately when an object
moves too fast.
VideoSecurity is designed for the widest environments possible and error condi-
tions, therefore it is necessary to tune the parameters in VideoSecurity Setup Wizard
to get the best detection results.
Setup Wizard
Setup Wizard guides you through setting up the VideoSecurity features.
1. To open Setup Wizard, click the
Start Pro- button, and then point to
grams, ASUS Video Security, and
then click Setup Wizard. The Video
Security Setup Wizard dialog box
appears.

and other features, refer to the ASUS VideoSecurity Online Help (HTML) for-
mat included with your support CD. You may also click the button to openHelp
the online help file.
Main Window
VideoSecurity Running Style
•Normal Window is the default style, that is, VideoSecurity will function as a
standard Windows program.
•Always on Top is like a Normal Window except that the main window and con-
trol panel is shown always on top of other programs or utilities. You may right
click to enable or disable this function at the main window anytime.
•Minimize on Tray lets you hide the main VideoSecurity window. This is useful
when you don’t want anyone to know you are monitoring. When this option is
selected, the VideoSecurity icon will appear on the taskbar in the lower-right
corner of your screen. Whenever VideoSecurity detects a problem, it will run.
You may also run VideoSecurity by clicking the icon.
VideoSecurity Working Directory
The VideoSecurity Working Directory is the folder where the utility stores its
temporary working and log files. Default is C:\VIDEOSEC. The directory is user-
configurable. When VideoSecurity is ran, a sub-directory will automatically be cre-
ated under the main directory, using the current date and time as the folder name, for
example, 1999.11.30_12.30.20“ ” means that VideoSecurity was started on 30 No-
vember 1999 at 12:30:20 PM.
IMPORTANT: Do not change the working folder’s name while VideoSecurity is
running. Otherwise, a fatal runtime error will occur.

Description Recommended Action
After installation and re-
starting, Windows 95/98 in-
forms me that the display
setting is still incorrect.
• “ ”Make sure the Assign IRQ to VGA option is en-
abled in the BIOS.
•Check if there is enough IRQ for VGA.
•Uninstall the driver, restart, and reinstall the driver.
•It depends on the display characteristics of your
monitor. Consult your monitor documentation for the
proper configuration.
•Windows 95 is not OSR2.1 or later.
•DirectX version is not 6.0 or later.
•You have not installed appropriate drivers for the
AGP chipset. (e.g. VGARTD.VXD for Intel 440LX).
•Incorrect BIOS setting. BIOS must support at least
64MB for AGP aperture size.
•3D works only in 16- or 32-bit color depth. Switch
your color depth display mode to 16-bit (high color)
or 32-bit (true color).
•Check necessary libraries, such as DirectX or
OpenGL.
•Try to switch to a lower resolution.
•You may be using a motherboard with an Aladdin
IV AGPset. To get the best compatibility, the dis-
play card uses AGP Bus Master mode instead of AGP
execute mode for motherboards using this AGPset.
•You must install DirectX 6 or later so that your player
can take advantage of the hardware acceleration
mode (DirectDraw).
•Try to switch to a lower resolution, color depth, or
refresh rate. Switching to a lower mode allows your
player to use hardware acceleration mode.
•Switch dual view mode to VGA or TV mode.
•VideoSecurity currently only supports S-Video or
Composite CCDs. Any device used must be con-
nected to an ASUS video card.
•This is a very important issue when you decide to
use VideoSecurity with the never stop option. You“ ”
must be aware of the free space of your hard disk—
it must be enough for storing temporary files in the
current working directory. If disk space is exhausted,
VideoSecurity will not store any information and give
you a warning message.
My monitor is not capable
of high resolution or refresh
rate.
DirectX or the other appli-
cations report no AGP
memory available.
Games or applications re-
port “No 3D acceleration
hardware found.”
My MPEG player displays
bad quality video clips.
I cannot enable AGP
memory or run I-Base test.
I can’t use VideoSecurity
with my USB CCD or IEEE
1394 CCD.
I am using Video Security
and it seems my hard disk
space is almost exhausted.

ASUS V7100 Series User s Manual’104
I am using VideoSecurity
and I set the password op-
tion. I have forgotten my
password, though. Is there
a way to recover my pass-
word?
•The only way to remove password protection is to
recall the original password that you assigned. The
password protection is still active even when you
uninstall VideoSecurity and install a new copy. Make
sure that the password that you assigned can be eas-
ily remembered. You may write down your password
and store it in a safe place.
