What is 1AVCenter? 1AVCenter is an all-in-one internet enabled multimedia center that besides the power to capture high quality video and audio it also provides a/v surveillance, live broadcasting, and internet file sharing and communication capabilities all through one consistent easy-to-use interface.   Back to Top What can I use it for? It allows you to record, capture, broadcast, and monitor audio/video that you can hear and see on your PC and also enables you to share new media and existent media, images, and documents through a secure web site, e-mails, and ftp uploads.   Back to Top What are the System Requirements for 1AVCenter?

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can. You can record online radio and any other audio that you can hear. 1AVCenter provides a ready-to-use profile for the specific purpose of recording the audio that is being reproduced.   Back to Top Why is the disk full so quickly? Capturing and recording video is a hard disk consuming task. The less compressed the video stream is the more disk space it will occupy. Recorded audio also occupies significant disk space. When you record audio or video with 1AVCenter for the first time it has already selected a compression scheme for you and only if you record for a very long time is that you'll notice disk space diminishing. However if you chose to record uncompressed audio or video they will soon consume big portions of the hard disk. Note that 1AVCenter comes with a 500MB free disk space threshold that it won't trespass eliminating any possibilities of full hard disk and its implications.   Back to Top I hear the music, but 1AVCenter is recording silence! Note that 1AVCenter is not necessarily recording what you hear, because there are two independent mixers for playback and recording. Go to the 'Profile Capture Settings' and select the recording audio line that is receiving the audio you want to record.   Back to Top What are audio and video codecs and where can I download more of them? A video or audio Codec (Compression/Decompression) is a software component allowing to encode data to be stored on a media (CD, DVD, etc...) and/ to decode it to be visualized or heard. There are also so-called "hard" codecs usually embedded to camcorders or digital video players or professional and semi-professional video cards for video editing and composing. Go to 1AVCenter complementary download page at: http://www.pcwinsoft.com/1avcenter/download/ and you'll find free Codec packages and free Windows Media downloads.   Back to Top What does the Motion Sensitivity control do? This control determines what level of movement is required to trigger a motion action performing. The large value of sensitivity causes that the smaller changes in the image can start a motion action. Lower values decrease sensitivity, which result in more or larger changes without motion action performing.   Back to Top What can I monitor with 1AVCenter besides web cams? Surveillance monitoring can be applied to any available video and audio source. The ones that make more sense to monitor are the Microphone, Phone-line and the Desktop.   Back to Top What is a video mail? Can I use 1AVCenter to send video mails? A video mail is a message that you record from your Web Cam and Microphone and then send by e-mail. 1AVCenter provides that capability to you.   Back to Top Can I attach files in the e-mails I send? Yes. You can attach as many files as you want on each e-mail you send. You should also know that you can send e-mails to multiple recipients.
