WinTV Settings Tab

• The image size of the capture can be set using Image Width and Height.  This entry is in pixels.  This setting applies to all cameras.
• The Default Camera Settings apply to all cameras when a camera is first added to a system.  To change the settings for any camera, select the camera, make the changes as desired and click the ‘Set’ button.  After the required settings have been made for all cameras, click the Ok button to save them.  If Cancel is clicked, including all settings made for all cameras that were changed will be rolled back to the previous settings.
• The Video source can be selected using the provided dropdown.  If you are using the TV tuner to capture pictures, be sure to set the tuner channel. It is up to the user to determine the proper Video Format and Tuner Format appropriate for the selected video source and channel.   If fine tuning is required to acquire a good image with the tuner, enter a whole positive or negative value in the Fine Tune field.
• The “# of Images to Keep” sets the purge limit for the number of images that are retained in the Capture folder.  Once this number is exceeded, the oldest files are automatically deleted.  This setting applies to the capture folder and file name used by the selected camera.  Settings for each camera are independent.
• ms Delay Before Snap - When a camera name is provided when snapping an image, this setting will delay the initial snap be this number of milliseconds.  This will allow the the non-instant on camera time to stabilize light levels before snapping the first image. 
• The Capture Directory and Capture File Name can be set independently for each camera.  NOTE: do not use an underscore ( _ ) as part of the camera file name.
• The other settings affect the image quality and can be set with experimentation.
