While the buffer is initializing, do not click any buttons on the WinTV application. 12 Installation and Reference Manual WinTV-NOVA-T Pause buffer The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored during the Pause mode. The maximum amount of time which your TV program can be delayed is dependent upon how much storage space you have set for the Pause buffer in the MPEG setting. To catch up to the "live" audio/video program, you can either exit the Pause mode by clicking the TV mode button, you can click the Skip button, which skips ahead 10 seconds per click, or you can grab the Video Position indicator and move it to the right until it is at the end of the Video Position bar. The Limit Pause Mode buffer size sets the maximum size of the Pause buffer. Here is a suggested size: If you are using DVD-2048, about 2 Gigabytes per hour is used for the Pause buffer. So for a 30 minute buffer, then set the Limit Pause Mode Buffer Size to 1000 MBytes. Delay counter: The Delay counter displays how much time you are behind the live video. For example, if the delay counter says 00:01:23, then the video window is showing video 1 minute and 23 seconds behind live video. Pause button Clicking the Pause button or OTP button causes WinTV to start saving a audio and video stream (referred to as an A/V stream) into the WinTV's Replay Buffer. It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be initialized and for Pause to become effective. Unclicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to start playing from the point where the button was originally pushed. Most WinTV functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live mode. For example, you can change volume, resize the TV window, go into "notitle mode", etc. While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the Replay Buffer which is filled with video. For example, if the Video Position indicator shows halfway, it means that half of the Replay Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Replay or Pause as many minutes as you would like, increase the size of the Replay Buffer. While in Pause mode, the A/V stream is always saved in the Replay Buffer. To stop saving the A/V stream in the Replay Buffer, you must exit the Pause mode by clicking the TV mode button. 13 Installation and Reference Manual WinTV-NOVA-T Replay button While in the Pause mode, hitting the Replay button acts like the Instant Replay you see on TV broadcast sporting events: the audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you have previously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go back 10 seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video you saw 10 seconds ago, you would click the Replay button once. [. . . ] See the section entitled "Tips on System Optimization" (Section 10). In the WinTV program group (Start / Programs / Hauppauge WinTV) there is a utility called "Primary". If it is on "Allow Overlay", try it on "Force Primary". Some VGA cards need to upgrade from the latest drivers in order for it to support Overlay mode. [. . . ]
