Adjusting Image Capture Width, Pixel Sampling/Fine Adjust, Image Capture
Horizontal Position and Image Capture Vertical Position
The Image Capture Width, Pixel Sampling/Fine Adjust, Image Capture Horizontal Position and
Image Capture Vertical Position adjustments affect how the target video is captured and digitized
and are seldom changed.
The image capture parameters are automatically changed by the Automatic Adjustment function. A
special image is required on the target in order to make accurate adjustments independently.
Contrast and brightness
If the image in the Video Viewer window is too dark or too light, select Tools - Automatic Video
Adjust or click the Automatic Video Adjust button. This command is also available in the Video
Adjustments dialog box. In most cases, this corrects video issues.
When clicking Auto Adjust several times does not set the contrast and brightness as desired,
adjusting the contrast and brightness manually can help. Increase the brightness. Do not go more
than 10 increments before moving the contrast. Generally, the contrast should be moved very little.
