How to set up the software

BookDrive DIY comes with 2 applications.

1. BookDrive Capture – for controlling the cameras and capturing the images

2. BookDrive Editor Pro – for image processing and making e-books


Image:diy_software_setup_1.jpg


BookDrive Capture 3 has two modes for operation: Single PC and Dual PC modes.


Single PC mode

The Single PC mode allows a sequential shooting (one camera shooting at a time), resulting in maximum capture speed of 500‐700 pages an hour.


Dual PC mode

To make 2 cameras capture at the same time thus reducing waiting time, it requires 2 PCs, each connecting to one camera. Both PCs are connected together via a LAN network. This mode is recommended only for advanced users.


The following picture summarizes the key differences of Single PC mode VS. Dual PC Mode

Installing the Software

Step 1 Make sure you’ve successfully installed Canon drivers and software that come with the cameras. Do not proceed to next step if you still can’t do PC remote shooting using the Canon software.

Setting up for Dual PC mode for the first time

1. Open Capture Slave on the Slave PC.


Image:diy_software_dual_1.jpg


2. First, we need to do a network setting at the Slave PC.


For Vista ‐‐ Start / Control Panel / Network and Sharing Center


3. Select Manage network connections


Image:diy_software_dual_3.jpg


4. Right click at the Local Area Connection and select Properties


Image:diy_software_dual_4.jpg


5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP) and click Properties

6. Select Use the following IP address: and fill in the number 192.168.1.2


Image:diy_software_dual_6.jpg


7. At this point, the setting at the Slave PC is done. You can proceed to do a set upon the Master PC.


8. You can now use the peripherals from the slave PC to use with the Master PC. You may need 2 computers. But only 1 set of monitor, keyboard and mouse is enough.


9. It’s time to configure network settings on the Master PC. The procedure is similar to what you just did on the Slave PC. But this time, instead of setting the IP value as 192.168.1.2 as you did in the Slave PC, on Master PC, it has to be 192.168.1.1


10. Now on the Master PC, let’s check if the Master PC can communicate with the Slave PC properly.


11. Click Start, type cmd and Enter


Image:diy_software_dual_11.jpg


12. Type ping 192.168.1.2


Image:diy_software_dual_12.jpg


13. If the communication is a success, you will get a reply like this:


Image:diy_software_dual_13_1.jpg


If the communication attempt is not successful, it will show Request timed out:


Image:diy_software_dual_13_2.jpg


14. After you have installed the BDC Master and have checked that the communication with the Slave PC is successful, now you are ready to do a simultaneous shooting.


Open the BookDrive Capture program on the Master PC.


Image:diy_software_dual_14.jpg


15. Click Tools and Settings


Select Use the following address and fill in 192.168.1.2 and OK


Image:diy_software_dual_15.jpg


16. Click the networked camera icon


Image:diy_software_dual_16.jpg


17. BookDrive Capture on the Master PC will attempt to connect with Capture Slave on the Slave PC.


Image:diy_software_dual_17_1.jpg


Once the network communication is successful, it will show Connected.


Image:diy_software_dual_17_2.jpg


18. Connect the camera on the right (pointing toward the left page) to the Master PC, and connect the camera on the left (pointing toward the right page) to the Slave PC.

Turn on both cameras.


19. BookDrive Capture should be able to detect both cameras as shown here.
