TV Snap is a simple application that allows you to snap still
images from live video and TV input, which can be edited and
included in multimedia presentations or publications. Still
images up to 640 x 480 can be snapped in 24-bit, 16-bit or 8-bit
format and saved to a variety of file formats—see page 38.
The video is displayed in the same number of colors as your
display mode. Therefore, you must use a display mode which
uses the same number of colors (or more colors) than you need
in the image you are snapping. For example, if you want to snap
an image with 65 thousand colors (16-bit), you must use a
display mode with 65 thousand or 16 million (24-bit) colors.
This section briefly explains how to use TV Snap to snap and
save an 8-bit 320 x 240 BMP image from a live source, and how
to save part of the captured image using the marquee tool. For
detailed information on TV Snap, refer to the online Help.
If you have a Captivator ProTV and are using a TV input, you
will need to refer to Tuning in TV Channels on page 39.
Note: Settings that you make in the Captivator Pro/TV Video
Control Panel are also set in the Video Source and Video Display
dialog boxes in TV Snap.
