For Analog sources the section contains the full selection of controls for adjusting the position of the captured image in the video signal. On the top of the section you can see the detected timing mode. E.g. 1080p indicates a progressive timing and 1080i an interlaced timing.
  • Page 12 Configuration Manual Timing Adjustment For manual timing adjustments, please fill in the corresponding fields. In the Automatic Detection mode they are filled by the driver. HRes Horizontal size of the captured bitmap, VRes Vertical size of the captured bitmap HStart Horizontal start (horizontal sync + horizontal back porch VStart Vertical start (vertical sync + vertical back porch)
  • Page 13: Digital Input

    Configuration Digital Input For Digital sources the Input Timing section contains only two automatically updated fields.

You can use either a 3.3 V or a 5 V slot The PCI bus performance is typically the limiting factor when previewing captured video.
  • Page 22: Frame Locking

    Usage The graph above shows the relation of the Requested Frame Rate (FPS) and the Achieved Frame Rate (fps). On a certain FPS level the achieved fps drops to half of the requested FPS and stays there. The FPS value jus below this point provides the optimum performance for the PC capturing setup.
