8. If problems occur...
If the window remains black, the reason could be:
• the
Picture controls
dialogue box is not set-up correctly (set
Video Source
according to the video source you are using),
or
• the video cable is not plugged in, or
• the video source is not sending data.
Live display is greyscale on|y
This normally indicates either that:
• you are in a 16-colour screen mode, or
• your colour saturation setting is set to zero or a very low
value, or
• if you have a ColourCard, you have selected a grey-scale
palette.
In 16-colour screen modes, TakeTwo displays a live image in grey
shades so as to optimise the quality of the live image, but con-
tinues to grab in colour if this is the selected grab format.
Cannot view 15bpp or 24bpp sprites
15bpp and 24bpp sprite formats are not yet supported by many
applications, so you may find that applications such as Paint and
Draw are unable to display these images. However, they can be
viewed by any of the following means:
• ColourCard owners can load these sprites into the
!Clearly
application
• Owners of Impression Style, Impression Publisher, or
ArtWorks (version 1.5 or later) can load these sprites into
their documents. They may then be viewed in any screen
mode, although owners of ColourCard Gold will see the best
colour representation in the 15bpp desktop screen modes
provided by that card.
Cannot record sound
This procedure works only if the audio ribbon cable is connected.
You therefore cannot use this test on an A3000.
