Time Control
Recording interval: When active, starting recording produces a sequence of
images. Snapshots are saved according to the selected time interval and
numbered sequentially. For example, if snapshots are taken every two
seconds and then inserted every five frames into the slideshow, then a ten-
times time lapse recording will result.
Photo length in frames: Specifies how long the photos appear in the
slideshow.
Enhanced single-frame recording dialog settings
You can adjust certain settings for the video recording driver.
These dialog boxes, so-called "property sheets", come with the video card
drivers. The driver-specific features may slightly vary from driver to driver.
The MAGIX team has little direct influence on the performance of the
various drivers. If you encounter any difficulties, then please contact the
video card manufacturer for the latest driver updates.
Input: Sets the crossbar switch of the video card. This lets you define what
video and audio signal is used in the recording. The crossbars are
connected in series to the video recording chip itself.
Output: In the "Output" field, the video output (for the crossbars) is the input
for the recording chip (video or audio decoder in) of the video card. In the
"Input" field, you select the signal source to be used for this input by the
video card during recording.
Composite in = the normal video input (typically a cinch jack)
S-VHS in = S-VHS input (special cable)
Tuner in = the TV signal of the built-in tuner
Video decoder: If the picture only appears in black & white or it flickers, then
the video standard may be set incorrectly. PAL_B is used in Germany and
most European countries (France: SECAM; US/CAN: NTSC).
VideoProcAmp: For fine tuning of colors, brightness, contrast, etc. We
recommend against changing any of the manufacturer's settings.
Format: Do not change anything here! The capture format settings can be
changed under "Resolution" in the "Recording" dialog box.
