Matrox VidCap driver
If your Matrox product includes a TV tuner
, video capture programs (
other than
Matrox PC-VCR)
use the Matrox
VidCap
driver interface. For example, you use the Matrox VidCap driver to adjust
capture settings in a video conferencing program. This section describes VidCap source and format
setting controls.
Video source settings
Video channel
– Click a button in this group box to
select a source:
Composite video
– to capture video from a
video camera or video player connected to
your Matrox
VIDEO IN
connector.

Depending on what’s connected to your Matrox

these buttons:

Standard
– Click a button in this group box to identify the TV standard used by your video
source:

– for most North American video devices.
PAL
– for most European video devices.
SECAM
– for video devices using the TV video standard from France.
The VidCap driver automatically assigns the correct standard used by your current video
source. VidCap won’t let you select a TV standard it doesn’t detect.
Note:
Your Matrox product doesn’t support
S-video line input. Because of this, certain
Matrox software controls are unavailable.
