Our latest BRec version increases the frame buffer to 128MB. You will need to change the registry setting from 0×40 to 0×80. The registry entry change is shown below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Merlin\Parameters]

“Buffer_Megs_Board0_05_0″=dword:00000080

“Buffer_Megs_Board1_05_0″=dword:00000080
(Note this example is for a 2 board system.  One board systems will only have a Board0 entry)

DirectShow filters are available on our Merlin05 card, however DirectShow support for the MerlinIP  card is not currently available.  Please contact us regarding your specific needs in this area.
