4.20 Select The User Interface

The Set TV style option in the floating menu or the Configure menu of the menu bar selects the TV interface. When the TV style is set to Cabinet or Screen only, choices are made through the remote, the keyboard, or the floating menu. When the cabinet is

on, the TV is resizable in three sizes: full, half and quarter screen. If the style is set to Screen only or Standard Window, the screen is arbitrarily resizable. When Standard Window is selected, a standard pop-up Window is used to display the video. The title bar and menu bars can be turned on and off.

4.21 Set Channel Presets

Channel presets are set up in the Presets/Tuner dialog box which is invoked by choosing the Presets/Tuner choice from the floating menu or the Configure menu of the menu bar. You can set up to 11 presets corresponding to function keys F2-F10 (F1 is reserved for Help by convention). When the tuner source is selected, you can switch to preset channels using the function keys.

4.22 Zooming and Panning

Video can be zoomed by a factor of 2 by selecting Zoom from the floating menu or from the Display menu on the menu bar. You can also zoom by double-clicking with the right mouse button over the video window. When the video is zoomed, you can pan by dragging the mouse over the video window with the right mouse button pressed.

4.23Switching to Tuner, VCR, Camcorder, or Laser Disk Player

You can switch to the external video source and have a specific control program initiated by selecting Tuner, VCR, CamCorder, or Laser disk through the Peripheral menu of the menu bar or through the floating menu. To specify the control program, the user must edit the PCPT.INI file. If no control program is specified, the video (and audio) source is switched, but no control program is started.
