VIDEO CONVERTER PRO FOR MAC
• When you make VCR recordings,
use either (1) a “Pro” or
“Broadcast” grade, name-brand
tape, or (2) an S-VHS (Super-
VHS) tape (these will play in
standard VHS machines). Also,
record using the fastest speed
(the speed corresponding to the
shortest total time per tape—
2 hours on a T-120 cassette).
You will have less noise and
tape jitter in your recording.
• Almost all TVs and video
monitors overscan images,
resulting in some of the picture
being “cropped” off the edges
of the picture tube. The
Converter’s UNDERSCAN mode
will shrink images to compensate
for this overscan, which will vary
in amount from one TV or
monitor to another. To ensure
that the useful parts of your
images are visible on TVs and
monitors, keep all text and other
informational content at least
5% in from the sides, top
and bottom.
• By far the most annoying effect
that occurs when a computer
image is converted to video is
“flicker.” This rapid flashing of
images’ brightness can appear
to be pervasive throughout the
screen or localized to one
particular area. It is most
noticeable on thin horizontal
lines, particularly on bright lines
against a dark background. It is
not seen on computer monitors
because all the horizontal lines
that make up the image are
drawn on the screen in one pass
from top to bottom, 60 or 70
times a second. When the same
image is converted to video, a
single line will only be drawn on
the screen either 30 (NTSC) or
25 (PAL) times a second. This
rate is not rapid enough to make
your brain register each
drawing
of the line as the same continuous
line, so the line appears to
flicker. The anti-flicker filter
in your Video Converter Pro
for Mac employs an advanced
design technique to overcome
this problem with only a very
slight loss in vertical detail.
