Video format settings
RGB

bits of information are used for color palette information; the larger the
bit value, the more colors can be used, but the larger the file size.
8-bit
– 256 shades of gray
16-bit
– 65,536 colors
24-bit
– 16,777,216 colors
Set Video Size
– Click this button to adjust the
video image size (resolution) settings for the
currently selected format. The data rate estimate
doesn’t take audio into account.
Note: Your Matrox product doesn’t support hardware-accelerated MJPEG encoding and
decoding. Because of this, certain Matrox software controls are unavailable.
Overlay and preview modes
The video capture program you’re using may give you a choice of overlay or preview modes.
Overlay and preview settings affect how video is viewed or captured:
With overlay mode, everything on the video window is captured. For example, any part of
a dialog box overlapping the video window appears in the captured video.
With preview mode, you will get a lower frame rate (resulting in jerky video) and you may
not be able to view or capture video if there isn’t enough graphics memory available. The
amount of graphics memory available depends on how much memory is on your graphics
card, the size of the video window, and the resolution and color palette settings of your
display.
