6. Ensure that the Input matches the type of video
source ( Composite or S-Video ) you have connected
to XCLAIM VR.
Optimizing Video Capture
The quality of your capture depends on the quality of the
video source and the type of system you are using to
capture. Follow these suggestions to ensure that you are
getting the best capture possible:
¥ turn off virtual memory
¥ disable your network and Þle sharing capabilities (i.e.
AppleTalk)
¥ add additional RAM (32MB recommended)
¥ capture at 16 bit color depth (this gives better capture
rates than 8 or 32 bit color depth)
¥ defragment your hard drive
¥ turn off the menu bar clock
¥ reduce the size of the capture window (You will be
able to scale it to full screen later with XCLAIM VRÕs
playback acceleration.)
You need a high-speed hard drive with lots of available
hard disk space. An ideal drive would be an AV drive
(6MB per second) or a Fast drive (4MB per second) using
a SCSI-2 controller. Your drive needs to write at least 5MB
per second to capture video at 320x240 at 30 frames per
second. Check the speciÞcations of your hard drive in
your system manual.
