The Menu Point "Video Format" Through the menu point Video Format you can determine the size of the picture to be recorded and the number of bytes that are to be used per pixel. fig. 12: In this window, determine the size and number of bytes used for recording. The setting Image Dimensions Through the point Image Dimensions you can choose from three resolutions for the capturing of frames and recording of video sequences: Resolution Result Single Frame OK OK Result Video Sequence 192 x 144 384 x 288 OK Depending on your system/hard drive capability, it is possible that dropped frames can occur. This is because the incoming amounts of data of around 17 MBytes are more than any hard drive currently available can process. 768 x 576 OK 32 TerraTV+ / TerraTV Radio+ The Setting Image Format Through this menu point you can determine how many bytes per pixel are used when capturing a frame or recording a video sequence. The more bytes you set to save a pixel, the greater the data yield and the bigger the resulting file will be!Image Format 32-Bit RGB 24-Bit RGB 15-Bit RGB BTYUV YUV9 YUV12 What it Means for the Recording 4 bytes are saved per pixel 3 bytes are saved per pixel 2 bytes are saved per pixel Low data yield through compression Low data yield through compression Low data yield through compression NOTE: Recordings of video sequences made with the BTYUV, YUV9 and YUV12 image formats can only be played back on systems, on which the TV card's drivers are installed. This is because these image formats work in conjunction with special compression formats which are matched to the television hardware. When you prepare a video sequence for use on your system, you can easily fall back on these special compression formats. If you want to give your video clips to other PC users, however, then you should use a RGB format! The Menu Point "Capture Single Frame" Through this menu point you can capture a single frame of the displayed TV/video picture. The size of the recorded picture is determined by the parameters set under Options\Video Format .

You can find more information on this menu point in the chapter Attention Trap! [. . . ] The necessary files will then be updated during installation, and afterwards, calling up the TV software should not be cause for any problems. Question 8: How much data accrues when recording video sequences?The following facts must be considered: The larger the video format to be recorded, the more data that is involved. As the screen resolution and the number of frames per second can be set relatively freely, the accruing data yield is determined by these factors. With the TV software's standard settings, one minute uses up about 50 MB of the hard drive. Question 9: Won't the radio software still run after updating to a new driver version? [. . . ]
