Background Capture menu

The Background Capture menu allows you to capture the image currently on the
output screen and save it as a bitmap (.bmp) file with one of 16 designated image
names. You can then recall the image and use it as a background.
Background Capture also can be done via the Windows-based control software (see
chapter 4, "Software Configuration and Control") and the MGP 464 Web pages (see
chapter 5, "HTML Configuration and Control").

Memory space for background files

The MGP 464 has 16 MB of user storage space that can be used for saved
backgrounds and uploaded user Web pages. The number of images that you can
save depends on the size (in kB) of the image bitmap file and the resolution. The
following table shows the number of images you can store based on resolution.
Resolution 640 x 480 800 x 600 1024 x 768 1280 x 1024 1400 x 1050 1600 x 1200
Image Size (kB)
900.00
Total Images 16
To calculate the size of a bitmap file for any image of any specified size, use this
formula:
file size (in kilobytes) = (horizontal x vertical x 3) + 54 (file header ID)
