About Setting the Display Format
For best results you would usually set the display format color
depth to match the video source color depth. If the display format
and video source color depth do not match, the VGA2Ethernet
user interface converts the color resolution of images as they are
received. This conversion can put extra demands on the video
capture workstation CPU.
Note: For a definition of color depth, see “Color depth, bits per
pixel (bpp)” on page 61 .
There are a number of reasons you may want to set the display
format to a different color depth than the video source. For
example:
Flip image
vertically
Select this option to turn the displayed image
upside down. If you select this option, the image in
recorded videos, the image that is copied when you
select Copy from the Edit menu, printed images,
and broadcasted images are also upside down.
Images saved by selecting Save from the File menu
and recorded image files are not affected by this
option.
