Setting Driver Properties

Pin Select

You can have different setups for the two pins. For example, you could enable the logo on the capture pin but not on the preview pin, and thereby save some CPU time.

Figure 51. Pin Select

Capture

When you click Capture, the current logo settings for the capture pin

 

are loaded, and changes you make apply only to the capture pin, not

 

to the preview pin.

 

 

Preview

The Preview button works analogously.

 

 

Both

When you click Both, changes you make to the logo setup apply to

 

both the capture and preview pins.

 

 

File and Color

Figure 52. File and Color

The Enable Logo check box, which is repeated on both sub-tabs, enables or disables logos. If you disable logos, all your other logo settings are retained for when you re-enable logos.

In Figure 52, Browse for File opens a standard file select dialog. Logo files must be:

In BMP 24-bit format

In PNG format (all commonly used PNG formats are accepted)

If you have a graphic in another format, edit it with a drawing or photo edit program such as Windows Paint, and save it as a PNG file. The PNG format is recommended instead of the BMP format because it is both compressed and lossless – so the image file is smaller, but with no sacrifice of quality. Also, if you use a suitable image editor, you can create transparency effects that are not possible with the BMP format.

It is customary for BMP files to have a filename extension .bmp and PNG files to have the extension

.png. However the driver determines the file type by reading the file header.
