Using the Matrox DigiView program

Chapter 5, Displaying Video in a Window with Matrox DigiView
The Matrox DigiView program lets you display a live video window on
your computer's monitor. You can use this window instead of a Program
monitor to display your DigiDesktop analog video input. If your
DigiDesktop is connected to one or more other cards with a Movie-2 bus,
you can also choose to display the Main or Preview output from the bus.
For example, if you're using DigiDesktop with DigiMix or DigiSuite LE,
you can display the Main output from DigiSuite in the Matrox DigiView
window to see the video clips you play back from DigiTools or your
nonlinear editing program.
Important Before running Matrox DigiView, run
in the Windows NT Control panel and set the color palette to
Properties
True Color (24-bit) .
