b. Use the V key on the keyboard to toggle between video and tuner inputs.
c. Select the TV/Video option of the floating menu or the Configure menu in the menu bar.
d. Selecting Tuner through the Peripheral menu on the menu bar or from the floating menu switches the video source to the tuner and brings up the Presets/Tuner dialog box.
4.15 Still Image Capture
An image can be captured and written to pre-specified file type using the Snapshot button on the remote. The file name and type are specified by selecting Save from the Display menu or from the floating menu. This brings up a dialog box where you can specify a six- character name to which a two digit number is appended each time a new image is captured using the Snapshot button or the * key. The Save dialog box can also be brought up using the Control * key combination. The user can specify an eight-character name. This same name is used each time an image is saved. The following file formats can be selected:
a. Windows device-independent bitmap 24-bit RGB, 8-bit color, or 8-bit grey-scale
b.Targa 32-, 24-, or 16-bit RGB
c. PCX 8-bit color or 8-bit grey scale
d.TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) 24-bit RGB, 8-bit color, or 8-bit grey scale
