5.14.3 VideoIn
The VideoIn tab comes with a simple and an Advanced Properties view. The simple view
shows only the mapped Viz Artist channel. In the advanced view every setting of the
input channel can be controlled. The switch between the simple and the advanced view
is done with the small black triangle on the right hand side.
• Map to Viz Channel: decides which Viz Artist video in channel is mapped onto
this Matrox video in channel. The drop-down gives a choice between the available
channels. Only the channels not already taken are shown.
• Unused: Do not use this Matrox channel for video input
• Video1: Captured input is available in Viz Artist Video1.
On a single channel configuration VideoInA is usually mapped to Video1 and VideoInB
to Video2 and so on whereas for a dual channel configuration usually the first channel
maps VideoInA to Video1 and the second channel maps VideoInB to Video1. In this case
both the first and the second channel have one video input configured, namely Video1.
When running a machine with two graphics cards (i.e. a dual channel or Viz Trio Box
setup) you should note that video inputs are hardware resources on the Matrox board
