Capturing video (TV models only)

Acer Arcade allows you to capture and record video clips from other external devices, such as a DVD player or camcorder.

Click Capture Device on the video page and then select the source you are using for your video input. There is a choice between "S-video" and "Composite."

To capture a video clip, you then need to click the red record button in the onscreen controls.

The destination folder can be set from the "Settings" menu.

Clicking on Advanced and selecting Settings allows you to set the quality of the video captured. You can choose from "Good," "Better" or "Best." Selecting a higher quality results in a larger file when capturing video clips.

Snapshot

Snapshot mode is available in Cinema, Video and TV modes. This function can be used to capture the onscreen image at any time.

A single frame image will be captured and stored in a user designated directory. The destination directory can be changed from the "Settings"menu.
