Setting Driver Properties

Video Decoder tab

The Video Decoder tab is a Microsoft DirectShow standard control for setting the NTSC/PAL/SECAM video standards (Figure 24).

Note: These controls are also on the Input tab. Most users find the Input tab more convenient to use.

Changes apply to all video preview and captures pins on the currently selected device. If you have multiple Osprey cards, you can set the input individually for each of them. Changes made with this control take effect immediately. If video is running and you select a standard that does not match the incoming signal, the video is likely to freeze or glitch until the signal matches the correct standard.

Osprey boards support the Signal Detect (0 or 1) and Lines Detected (525 or 625) status readouts. They do not support the VCR Input or Output Enabled controls, which will always be disabled.
