Camera Settings
The following section will explain the procedures for fine-tuning your USB Web Camera to receive an optimal image.
There are many factors that may affect videos and still image quality including, light source – fluorescent, incandescent
or natural sunlight, resolution, colour depth, frame rate, USB configuration, etc.
Video Format
The Video Format dialog box in Live Express allows you to control the size and color of the image provided by your
camera. The following dialog box will appear when you select
‘
Video
Format Settings
’
from within Live Express.
Please note, other graphic applications should also have a settings window with similar controls.
Items in the above
Video Format
window are described as follows:
•
Output Size –
this setting controls the size of the image or video that will be shown by the software. Larger
images contain more data, so the frame rate might be slower than for smaller resolutions.
•
Color Depth/Compression –
this setting controls how many colors will be shown. The higher the number,
the more colors that can be shown. High pixel depth allows your videos and images to show realistic colors.
