Operating the WebCam

-Color space is a representation of the amount of color gradations the WebCam is able to capture, expressed in bits per pixel (individual point of color). RGB24, also known as Truecolor, refers to 8 bit per color component (Red, Green, Blue), resulting in 24 bits per pixel.This mode makes it possible to represent 256 gradations of each color component. Select this option for non-Internet applications.

-Output size (resolution):

Resolution is the number of pixels (individual points of color) on both horizontal and vertical axis of a monitor.The sharpness of the displayed image depends on the resolution and the size of the monitor.The higher the output size, the higher the resolution (and sharpness) of the displayed image.
