Video Thru to TV
figure 1: The Video Through Control
You will only need this option if you decide to hook up a separate TV set to Snappy. The default setting is Not Connected To TV. Whenever you connect a TV set you must set it to Connected To TV. If you subsequently remove that TV set, you will need to turn this option back to Not Connected To TV. You can easily switch this option on and off by pressing v on the keyboard.
What happens if theVideo Through option is set to the wrong position? If it is Connected To TV but should be Not Connected To TV (when no TV is attached), the video will be far too bright and washed-out. If it is Not Connected To TV but should be Connected To TV (when a TV set is attached), then the video will appear to be dark and murky. The technical term for this setting is termination.
S-Video Adapter Connected
If you purchase the optional Snappy S-Video Adapter, you will need to choose this setting.
NOTE: Using the S-Video Adapter disables the Video Through option, so you will need to use the Preview/Adjust Monitor exclusively to monitor your video source.
