Operation
Once connected, the real-time video from the attached host computer is shown
centered in the main window.
Toolbar
There is an optional toolbar along the top edge of the window. This toolbar may be
hidden, detached or dragged onto the other three edges of the window. It provides a
number of shortcuts and some status information. All functions are duplicated in the
pull down menus across the top of your screen, so it is optional.
You can move and/or detach the toolbar by dragging the handle on the left/top edge.
Once detached, the red X or circle in the upper corners can be used to close it. When
dragging or moving the toolbar, you can stick it (dock) to the top/bottom edge, if in
horizontal mode, or left/right edges if vertical. Some of these features are available in
the Toolbar menu as well.
The right most status area of the toolbar reports some statistics while the system is
running. The first number is the USB bandwidth, in bits per second. When no motion is
detected by our hardware video compression, no bits are sent. Noisy video cards and
ongoing video animations, will cause a constant stream of USB traffic.
The next two numbers (ex. 30Hz and 44fps) report the achieved frame rates for the
hardware and software components respectively. The hardware number (Hz) will range
from 1 to 85Hz, but is typically 30Hz or 60Hz. The software number is limited to 60 fps
(frames per second) maximum and varies depending what other software on your
laptop is doing.
