- Other operating systems might work but are not officially supported by AXSUB
Software Dependencies:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 (comes installed by default with Windows 10, otherwise available as an offline installer right here)
Software Installation Procedure:
- IMPORTANT: Before installation, unplug any AxVIEW or other AXSUB device (USB cables) from your computer, or it may lead to improper installation of the video encoder drivers.
- Once equipment is unplugged, turn the equipment off to finish the power cycle.
- At this point, you can launch the AxDDM3 installer.
- Follow the steps on screen until installation is completed. Note that during the process, setups for Sensoray’s video drivers and FTDI CDM communication drivers will start automatically. You must install those components for the software to work properly.
- Once the installation is completed, turn on your AxVIEW system(s) and plug the USB, wait for drivers to load, and you are now ready to launch the AxDDM3 software.
