- Copy the location path in the adress line
- Register driver as admin via command terminal:
- Click on 'Start'
- Type
cmd - Right-click CMD-app 'Start as Administrator'
- Navigate to the drive and folder where the AJAMultiCapture64.dll driver with the command
cd D:\to\my\folderand paste the path copied before (copy/paste will not work, because it is an Administrator Shell) - type

Tip: Sometimes Stage Designer / FXServer complains with 'Cannot find VIDEOINFOHEADER' and does not open the device. In this case, set the AJA capture format to RGBA8 and restart the computer system.
