First, you must install the USB 2 docking station drivers (standard install process).
Next, you must acquire SoproSnap in order to use the SoproTouch feature. You can do
this by contacting Imaging Support at Acteon North America. This is a NO CHARGE
PROGRAM to a Sopro product customer.
Once you have acquired SoproSnap, open the folder it is in and Right click and drag the
“SoproSnap.exe” file into your start menu, under “Programs” / “Startup”. Please see the
following steps:
Following the diagrams, first left click once on the icon to highlight it, as shown above.
Then Right click and hold and drag it to your start bar, as shown below:
Drag it up to “All Programs” (or “Programs”, depending on your theme set):

Now drag it over to “Startup” and into the sub menu, then release the right mouse
button.
Click “Move Here”:

Once you’ve completed the preceding steps, you have successfully “installed” SoproSnap.
Now you simply need to configure it to work with TigerView, and you’ll be all set.
Continue on to the following pages for instructions on configuring TigerView to work with
both the Sopro USB2 docking stations and SoproSnap.
To configure TigerView to work with the Sopro Drivers and the SoproSnap program, you
must first be sure to log in as an administrator. After logging in, you need to load into the
“Acquire” portion of the TigerView program. It should look like (or similar to) this:
Once opening into the program with the Sopro drivers installed, notice how the capture
device is listed as “USB 2820 Video”. If on your configuration it is listed as something
different, please change it to “USB 2820 Video”. If this is not listed, either the drivers
were not installed (or not installed properly) or the camera may be being used by

something else. Call Acteon Imaging Support or TigerView support if you are having
trouble getting this to appear.
Next, change the “Input” selection to “Video SVideo”, and the “Size” selection to
“640 x 480”. Once complete, it should look like the following:
If everything looks as it should, then you are now ready to configure SoproSnap. To
configure SoproSnap, you must first launch the program. To launch the program, navigate
to the “Startup” program group in your start menu, and click “SoproSnap”:

When SoproSnap is opened, a small icon will appear on the screen with a title of
“SSnap”, and the SoproTouch icon. It looks like this:
To open the configuration dialog, hold down the “Ctrl” key on your keyboard, and at the
same time, click on the SoproTouch icon. It will open the “SoproSnap Settings” box. Make
sure the “Video source” is “USB 2820 Video” and select “Mouse click” as the action. Then
click and drag the ‘eye’ to the right of the “External application” box over to the side of
the video box in TigerView:

When you initially click on the ‘eye’, the “SoproSnap Settings” box will disappear. Don’t
panic, that’s supposed to happen. And when you drag it over the right side of the video
window, it will have a dark black border, like so:
You may now release the mouse button. The “SoproSnap Settings” box will now reappear. Make sure that “Search title text” and “Return to live after capture” are not
checked, then your settings should look like the following:

If everything looks as it should, click “OK” and the “SSnap” icon will reappear. You can
place this icon anywhere on the screen that is out of the way, but it must remain open in
order for the SoproTouch to function properly with TigerView. Most of the time, the most
convenient place is at the top right hand corner (next to the minimize button) like so:
No more interaction with the SoproSnap icon is required. If it is functioning properly,
when in TigerView with a live image, you will touch the SoproTouch and the image will
become frozen on screen, and at the same time the image will be saved into the
software. The second touch will return the image to live video. The SoproSnap program
will stay wherever on the screen you may have put it, and will not affect anything else on
the computer. SoproSnap will also automatically load when the computer is restarted. If
you have any further questions, please contact Imaging Support at Acteon for questions
with the camera or SoproSnap (contact information on front page). Contact TigerView
support for questions on the TigerView program and functionality at (800)385-9593.
