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.
