Adjusting The Brightness Of Showme Tv Files - Sun Microsystems Enterprise 250 Owner's Manual

you stop it. For instructions, see "Configuring Browsers to Use ShowMe TV" on page
327.
Here are some reasons to make sure you quit the video player when you have
finished viewing a video:
4 If you stop or pause a video player, the large video file remains in your swap
space. You should quit your video player when it is not in use to free swap space.
4 On a Sun workstation the ShowMe TV video player will appropriate the audio
device on your system, so if you try to play a second video, or use another
application that requires audio, the second application will not be able to deliver
its audio portion. You should quit the video player to keep the audio device
available for other videos or other applications.
4 If you are using ActiveMovie on a PC, quitting the movie player is still advisable
but less critical. ActiveMovie does not loop the video file, nor does it capture the
audio device exclusively. But ActiveMovie will remain on your desktop until you
exit the application, and the file you are playing remains in your swap space.

Adjusting the Brightness of ShowMe TV Files

The settings on your monitor partly determine how bright or dark the video appears
on your screen. The AnswerBook2 videos are digitized to look their best on an
"average" monitor setting. If your monitor or video card do not fit this average
profile, the video may seem too light or dark. When using the ShowMe TV player,
you can adjust the brightness of the video file you are playing by selecting the
Properties option under the TV pull-down menu. The Properties control sheet has a
Brightness slider bar that will make the video lighter or darker.
There is no Brightness control available for ActiveMovie.
