Foreword
This manual provides technical information on the STMicroelectronics STV0674 Evaluation Kit,
designed and manufactured by STMicroelectronics Ltd., 33 Pinkhill, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
The content includes detailed system description, specifications, installation and operating
instructions.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Notice
This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy which may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of these measures:
●Re-orientate or relocate the receiving antenna,
●Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver,
●Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that equipment and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
This equipment is for demonstration and evaluation purposes only. It has no intrinsic function and
can therefore be considered as a "component" or "sub-assembly". However, it is not intended to be
used either in part or whole to form another product with an intrinsic function, therefore does not
comply with FCC rules regarding Electromagnetic Compatibility.
While every effort has been made to keep the information contained within current and accurate as
of the date of publication, no guarantee is given or implied that the document is error-free or that it
is accurate with regard to any specification. STMicroelectronics reserves the right to make changes,
at any time, for the purpose of system improvement.
A sample of the camera described in this manual has been passed through USB compliance, which
would indicate that it is possible to follow the reference design guidelines closely and achieve
compliance in an OEM design. However, such compliance tests are the responsibility of the OEM.

STV0676 DirectCap
4 DirectCap
A DirectShow (DS) driver is installed to enable you to use the camera with DS applications. ST no
longer supports Video for Windows (VfW), but the DS driver will run on VfW applications using the
Microsoft DS -> VfW mapper.
To demonstrate the DS driver an application called DirectCap is included in the EVK package. This
application can be used for all our DS supported chipsets. See
Figure 1
4.1 Video Device
