TYPHOON TV/FM PCI Capture Card
Article number: 50575
Q: How to get a better picture quality when watching TV?
A: Referring to Chapter 5.4 Record Settings Dialog Box, the settings you define
here are also valid for the Preview Settings.
When your TV Card supports Overlay Mode, choose here YUY2.
With an overlay mode, the video signal is transferred into an invisible part of the
graphics board memory. The graphics board will then take care of the image
and make sure that it gets transferred to the right place in the visible part of the
memory. Not all graphics boards have this feature and thus may not allow an
overlay mode.
The drawback of a primary mode is that your graphics board has to be set to at
least 16-bits per pixel color depth. Primary mode also requires more bandwidth
on the PCI bus and some graphics boards show distortions of the video display,
especially when using 32 bits per pixel color depth. And finally, a menu or other
window covering the primary surface video display may get overwritten under
certain circumstances.
Q: Why the video quality getting lower or dropping frames during time
shifting or recording?
A: This depends on the system requirements written in Chapter 1.5 System
Requirements also in which resolution you want to execute Time shifting (see
Chapter 5.4 Record Settings Dialog Box.)
