Video Capture Driver

When you install the V3400 Series Windows 95/98 Driver, the video capture driver
will automatically be installed on your system. This video capture driver follows
Microsoft Video for Windows standard and can open up to a capture window size of
352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL). It can be used with some applications that use
video capture as an option, such as video conference, net meeting, or digital video
authoring applications.

You can use the Up or Down arrow buttons on the control panel to select  the Video
Connector or the Video Standard. The Left and Right arrow buttons are used for
making selections.

Show/Hide Video Source Option

When first using ASUS LIVE3400, you must setup the Video Source. By clicking
the Show/Hide Video Source Option button on the panel, you can show or hide the
video source setting.
