2  Quick Start 
The STH-MD1/-C comes assembled, the interface module mounted to the 
imager module.  The module comes without mounted lenses. 
To set up and test the STH-MD1/-C, you will need the following: 
1.  Pair of C-mount lenses, for 2/3” or larger imager. 
2.  Host computer with a 1394 PCI or PCMCIA card, OHCI 
compliant.  
3.  1394 6-pin cable. 
4.  Capture software or Small Vision System installed on the host 
computer. 
Install the 1394 host card, if necessary, according to the directions in 
Section  7.1.  Install the video capture software (included with the STH-
MD1/-C) or Small Vision System software (see Section  7.2).  This is the 
not-so-quick part of the Quick Start. 
Screw the lenses into the mounting holes on the stereo head.  Be careful 
not to force them initially, as you can cross-thread the lens mount.  Snug 
them down, but do not tighten excessively. 
Plug one end of the 1394 6-pin video cable into either 1394 jack on the 
STH-MD1/-C, and the other  into a 1394 port on the host PC.  Note: for 
PCMCIA cards, and laptops with a 4-pin Sony iLink port, an external 
power supply and adapter are necessary to convert to a 6-pin (signal + 
power) 1394 plug.  Most PCMCIA cards come with this adapter. 
Start the video capture program, 
smallv(.exe)
 or 
smallvcap(.exe)
, on the host computer.  You should see a screen as 
in  Figure  2-1.  The message window should indicate that the STH-MD1 
interface is present.  If not, go back to software installation (Section 7.2), 
and follow the instructions for configuring the correct capture library. 
Pull down the Input chooser, and select the  Video option.  If everything 
has been set up, the driver software will recognize and configure the stereo 
head after a few seconds, and a success message will appear in the info text 
window.  If not, the Input chooser will go back to None, and an error 
message will appear in the info window.  Please see Section  7 for 
troubleshooting. 
To view stereo video, press the Continuous button.  Left and right images 
should appear in the application windows.  If the message “Image timed 
out” appears, then there is a problem with the IEEE 1394 drivers; please 
see Section  7.  If the images are too light or too dark, you can open the 
manual iris of the cameras, or change the exposure and gain settings 
(Section 6.3).  Images can be saved using the File menu. 
A more complete description of the video capture program is in Section 6.  
The SVS programs are described in the documentation that comes with 
 
Figure 2-1  Video capture program window.
