Capture Functions
The USB TV Tuner allows you to capture image from your television as either motion
videos or still images.
Still Image Capture
To capture a still image, click on the Still Image Capture button in the control window, on
the tuner, or on your remote. When you click the Still Image Capture button, a capture
window will appear containing all the pictures you have taken. To save any of the
images, click on the picture and choose a file name.
NOTE:
The images are not saved automatically. You have to both capture a Still Image
and manually save it. Unsaved images are deleted when the tuner is shut down.
Motion Capture
To start recording a motion file, press the Motion Video Capture button in the control
window, on the tuner, or on the remote. Press the button again to stop the recording.
While you are recording the file, you will see information on the files size and length.
As the default, Motion Capture files will be saved as .avi files with the following format:
MDDHHMMN.avi
, when
M
is the month (from 1 to 9. O-October, N-November, D-
December),
DD
is the day (from 01 to 31),
HH
is the hour (from 01 to 24),
MM
is the
minute (from 00 to 59) and
N
is the number of recordings you have made during the
same minute (from 1 to 9). You can adjust the capture settings from the Configuration
menu. See “Advanced Configuration Settings” on page 7.
Playback
If you have captured and saved a Motion Capture file, you can play it back by pushing
