Chapter 4, Using Matrox WYSIWYG Programs
About the WYSIWYG DirectShow Control Panel
The WYSIWYG DirectShow Control Panel lets you display video played back
using Windows Media Player, Adobe Encore DVD, and other supported
DirectShow applications on your NTSC or PAL video monitor. This gives you a
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) video display for checking how
your clips appear on a TV or other interlaced monitor.
The supported file types include: Matrox .avi and .m2v files, as well as Video CD
and Super Video CD files (.mpg, .m1v, and .m2v files).
If you’ve connected an S-Video or composite video recorder to your RT.X
system, you can record your clips onto tape as they play back on your video
monitor.
Remarks
• To disable and re-enable the Matrox WYSIWYG DirectShow output to your
video monitor, you must log onto an account on your Windows system that
has Administrator privileges. For details, consult the appropriate Microsoft
documentation.
• When playing non-interlaced video clips on your video monitor, you may
see some flickering in your image that is not present in the image on your
computer screen. This is normal.
