Getting Started
General Installation Instructions
PCI Bus Compatibility Guidelines
CineMaster must be installed in an open 32-bit PCI slot with PCI bus
mastering. Refer to the manual shipped with your computer or
motherboard to make sure that the open PCI slot that you select has bus
mastering capabilities. For example, the manual should contain a
statement similar to: “Each 32-bit PCI slot supports PCI mastering”.
Video Port Compatibility Guidelines
VMI Interface
CineMaster uses a VMI 1.4 compliant interface to deliver high-quality
digital video data to the VGA card using a direct-connect cable. The
software interface for the VMI port on CineMaster is VPE, which is a
part of Microsoft’s DirectX 5.
NOTE: You must have DirectX 5.0 installed in your system for
CineMaster to play DVD Video over a VIP/VPE connection. Dell has
already factory-installed DirectX 5.0 for you.
