Te l e t e x t ( )
Browse Teletext information. If the current video input signal
(
TV input only) supports the Teletext service used in Europe, click the Teletext button
to start a separate Teletext program. This Teletext program lets you browse
information encoded in the video signal. Use the Teletext browser to change Teletext pages,
and use PC-VCR Remote to change channels. For more information on how to use the
Teletext program, see its online Help. For more information on the Teletext service, contact
your TV provider.
Keyword detection
Create lists of words that PC-VCR Remote automatically
searches for in the Closed Captioning information of a video signal. Depending on how you
set it up, PC-VCR Remote will make the video window appear, save Closed Captioning text
to a file, or record the video and audio input to a file when it finds a keyword. (This feature
does not work with the Teletext service used in Europe.)
Sleep mode ( )
Have PC-VCR Remote close automatically after a certain amount
of time.
Shuffle playlist ( )
Shuffle the video files in the current playlist into random
order. (To use this feature, enable
Use Playlist first.)
Loop video files ( )
Play video files continuously.
Video snapshots
Click the Video Snapshot button ( ) on the PC-VCR Remote
to save a digital still image (“frame capture”) of the current PC-VCR Remote video window.
Video snapshots can be saved as bitmap (
*.bmp ) or JPEG ( *.jpg ) files. You can adjust the
quality, and as a result the file size of JPEG video snapshots.
Video window cropping
If the PC-VCR Remote LINE or TV button is selected,
hold down the [Shift] key, then click the video window display area. This opens a dialog box
that lets you trim the edges of the video window display. This is useful for hiding information
along the edges of a video image or if you just want to see part of your video window display.
You can also hold down the [Ctrl] key, then drag in the video window to crop. To restore
cropping settings, right-click the video window, then click the
Reset Cropping menu item.
Hot keys
Assign keyboard shortcuts to many PC-VCR Remote controls.
Audio
With a sound card installed in your computer, you can adjust your computer’s
sound output with the PC-VCR Remote.
Note: In a video window with no cropping, the edges of video images may appear distorted.
You normally don’t see this distortion on a TV because most TVs crop the edges of video
images. Professional video equipment doesn’t produce this distortion but consumer-quality
video equipment may. You can use the cropping feature of PC-VCR Remote to hide this
distortion.
