Image capture width, pixel sampling/fine adjust, image capture horizontal position and image capture vertical position

The Image Capture Width, Pixel Sampling/Fine Adjust, Image Capture Horizontal Position and Image Capture Vertical Position adjustments affect how the target video is captured and digitized and are seldom changed.

The image capture parameters are automatically changed by the Automatic Adjustment function. A special image is required on the target in order to make accurate adjustments independently.

Contrast and brightness

If the image in the Video Viewer window is too dark or too light, select Tools - Automatic Video Adjust or click the Automatic Video Adjust button. This command is also available in the Video Adjustments dialog box. In most cases, this corrects video problems.

In cases where clicking on Auto Adjust several times does not set the contrast and brightness as desired, adjusting the contrast and brightness manually can help. Increase the brightness. Do not go more than 10 increments before moving the contrast. Generally, the contrast should be moved very little.

Detection thresholds

In some cases, noise in the video transmission keeps the packets/sec count up, which is indicated by little dots changing in the area of the cursor when it is moved. Varying the threshold values may result in “quieter” screens and can improve cursor tracking.
