E.5.5 Adjusting the Brightness of ShowMe TV Files

The settings on your monitor partly determine how bright or dark the video appears on your screen. The AnswerBook2 videos are digitized to look their best on an “average” monitor setting. If your monitor or video card does not fit this average profile, the video may seem too light or dark. First try adjusting your monitor brightness setting.

When using the ShowMe TV player, on some systems you can adjust the brightness of the video file you are playing by selecting the Properties option under the TV pull-down menu. The Properties control sheet has a Brightness slider bar that will make the video lighter or darker.

There is no Brightness control available for ActiveMovie.

E.5.6 Playing the Movies From the AnswerBook2 CD

The AnswerBook2 installation instructions also include a method for viewing the AnswerBook2 contents (including the movies) directly from the AnswerBook2 CD. This viewing method may offer better performance than other online methods. See “Viewing the Collection From the CD” in the appropriate Sun Enterprise Server Documentation Installation Guide.
