Graphics card settings
If you need to minimize system load while maintaining acceptable color performance, Pinnacle recommends setting your display to use 16-bit color.
To adjust the display in Windows XP:
1. Position your mouse over your Desktop, right click, and select Properties, When the Display Properties dialog box appears, click on the Settings tab.
2. If you have multiple monitors, select the one to which the new setting should apply.
3. Under Color Quality, choose “Medium (16 bit)”.
To adjust the display in Windows Vista:
1. Position your mouse over your Desktop, right click, and select Personalize. In the “Personalize appearance and sounds” window click the “Display settings” link.
The Display Settings dialog box appears.
2. If you have multiple monitors, select the one to which the new setting should apply.
3. Under Colors, choose “Medium (16 bit)”.
The color setting affects only the display on the computer monitor. Recorded sequences will appear in full color and resolution at the video output.
