The P/A (Preview/Adjust) Monitor


figure 1: The Preview/Adjust Monitor

In Preview Mode

The Preview/Adjust, or P/A Monitor is a 240x180 window (see figure 1), which allows you to view your video source on your computer monitor before you have snapped a picture. The preview can be either color or black&white, and is updated approximately twice every second. Other than your video source you may see one of the following in the Preview/Adjust Monitor:

Video noise (snow) if no video signal is detected

A "screen saver" if Snappy is in Power Saver mode.


In Adjust Mode

After you have changed the setting of any of the Adjust controls, you will see the picture in the Preview/Adjust Monitor updated accordingly (the speed at which this happens depends on the speed of your particular PC). The Preview/Adjust Monitor offers a convenient interactive, high-speed display of what is going on each time you change an Adjust control. When you want to see how your snapped picture has been affected by your adjustments, just click the Process button and Snappy will re-display it in its own full-sized window.
