Video Monitor Software: Additional Options

Video Monitor software displays a live video image in a window on the screen and can capture one frame of the video image. It is bundled with Macintosh Centris 660AV and Quadra 840AV.
Additional Video Monitor options

* Preferences: Choose Preferences from the File menu to change the captured frame from a PICT file to an image on the Clipboard or to turn off compression of the captured frame.

* Printing a frame: Choose Print from the File menu to print one frame of the video image in the Monitor window.

* Capturing a frame: Choose Copy from the Edit menu to capture one frame of the video image in the Monitor window. (A message is displayed if the memory available is not sufficient to capture a frame.) The preset choice for frame capture saves the frame as a PICT file. The file is named PICT 0 (or the lowest number not already used) and stored on the desktop. You can use the Preferences dialog box to change frame capture from a PICT file saved on the desktop to an image stored on the Clipboard.

* Turning off sound: Choose Mute from the Monitor menu to turn off the sound accompanying the video displayed in the Monitor window.

* Resizing the Monitor window: Choose a size from the Monitor menu to resize the window displaying video. Or drag from the lower right corner of the window. Hold down the Shift key while dragging to maintain the horizontal and vertical proportions of the image as the window is resized.

* Changing video settings: Choose Video Settings from the Monitor menu to adjust options for the video image.

* Changing sound settings: Choose Sound Settings from the Monitor menu to adjust options for sound accompanying the video displayed.
