1. Introduction
Dtu2xx is the Windows-2000/XP device driver for DEKTEC‟s line of digital-video USB Devices. The
driver is generic to all DEKTEC USB Devices that have a type number starting with “DTU-2”. The
Dtu2xx driver supports operation of multiple devices.

1.1. USB Devices Supported by the Dtu2xx Device Driver

The Dtu2xx device driver supports the following DEKTEC devices:

DTU-205 FantASI USB-2 ASI/SDI Output Adapter

DTU-225 FantASI USB-2 ASI/SDI Input Adapter
DTU-234 FantASI USB-2 VSB/QAM-B Input Adapter
DTU-235 FantASI USB-2 DVB-T Input Adapter
DTU-236 FantASI USB-2 VSB/QAM Input Adapter
DTU-245 FantASI USB-2 ASI/SDI Input+Output Adapter

1.2. Files
The Dtu2xx.zip archive contains the following files:

Dtu2xx SetUp.exe Setup program that installs the Dtu2xx device driver.
Dtu2xx Installation.pdf This installation document.

The setup program copies two Dtu2xx device-driver files into a selectable directory, defaulting to
C:\Program Files\DEKTEC\Drivers.

Dtu2xx.inf V3.3.0.114 Device driver information file (“.inf”).

Dtu2xx.sys V3.3.0.114 Device driver „system‟ file (executable).

Thereafter, setup instructs the Windows 2000/XP Plug‟n Play manager to install the device driver
files. A log file is created, to aid debugging in case of an install failure.

2. Installing the Software

The Dtu2xx setup program is self-contained. Installing the device driver is as simple as running the
setup executable and pressing “Next” a few times.
NOTE
 A Windows 2000/XP device driver can only be installed by a user account with the privilege to
load and unload device drivers, e.g. administrator.
 Please make sure that no application is currently running that uses a DEKTEC device.
Please disconnect all DTU-2XX devices before running this installation. No DTU-2XX device should
be connected to the system while running this installation.
After having the installed the driver files the following should be performed to complete the installa-
tion:
1. Connect the DTU-2xx adapter to a USB port using the supplied USB cable.

Windows recognizes a new DTU-2xx (no firmware) device and the 'install new hardware wizard'
will prompt you for the location of the DTU-2xx driver files.

2. If Windows XP with SP2 is used Windows will ask if: “Windows can connect to Windows Up-
date to search for software”. Select No, not this time and press Next.
3. Choose install software automatically and press Next.
4. The Wizard will now install the driver needed for configuring the DTU-2xx device.
5. Press Finish when completed.
At this point windows will recognize the configured DTU-2xx device and will prompt you again to
install a driver for this device.
6. Repeat Steps 2 to 5 to complete the installation.

3. Troubleshooting

3.1. Device Status LED

At start-up the device led (the left led) will flash red, green and orange to indicate
the power-up sequence. After the power-up sequence the device led gives an in-
dication about the driver status. When the driver is correctly installed and all
firmware is correctly downloaded the device led indicator should be constant
green.

If the device led is orange the driver is probably not correctly installed. See 3.2 for verification of the
device status.
When the device led keeps flashing red or not lit at all make sure the device is correctly connected to
the USB port. If the device is correctly connected and the problem persists please contact DEKTEC for
support at fantasi@dektec.com or support@dektec.com.

3.2. Checking Device Status in the Device Manager

The Windows-2000/XP device manager can be used to check whether the Dtu2xx driver runs prop-
erly. To check the device status of a DTU-2XX:
1. Open the Windows-2000/XP device manager: right-click My Computer, select Manage, and
go to Device Manager under System Tools.
2. Locate the DEKTEC device in category Professional audio/video interfaces.
3. Right-click the device, select Properties, and check the Device status pane.
The status should be: This device is working properly. If not, don‟t try the Windows-2000/XP Troub-
leshooter (it does not know anything about DEKTEC cards), but inspect the event log (§3.3) and the
install log (§3.4). If the problem persists, please contact DEKTEC at fantasi@dektec.com or sup-
port@dektec.com.

3.3. Checking the Event Log

The System Event Log can be consulted to check whether the Dtu2xx device driver has been loaded
and started properly. To open the System Event Log:
1. Right-click My Computer, select Manage, and open Event Viewer under System Tools.
2. Select the System log.
3. Driver messages from DEKTEC USB-2 devices have Dtu2xx in the Source column.
If the driver loads successfully, the following event message is logged:
The Dtu2xx driver (Rev 3.3.0.114) has loaded successfully.
The device-driver version listed in this message should match the Dtu2xx-version number listed in
the file overview in §1.2.
For each DEKTEC USB-2 device connected in the system, a start-up message listing USB Device Type
and Firmware Version should be logged, e.g.:

All rights reserved. November 2008
 Dtu2xx WDM Driver
The DTU-245 (Firmware Version 9) started successfully.
Obviously, if the Dtu2xx driver detects an error while trying to start the USB-2 Device, the message
above will not occur. Instead, an error message is logged, which may be helpful to find the source
of the problem.

3.4. Checking the Install Log

The install log is a text file (DtDrivInstall.log) written into C:\Program Files\DEKTEC\Drivers
(or a redirected path). In case of installation troubles, please contact DEKTEC at fantasi@dektec.com
or support@dektec.com, attaching the install log.
