If the “Unable to display live video” window appears, either the camera was not found,
or it could not be initialized. The “Live video options…” button allows you to quickly
access the V1’s Options window to verify your settings. If simply reconnecting the
camera does bring up live video, you might want to try the “Troubleshoot…” button.
The troubleshooter wizard contains a great deal of information to assist you with
resolving any camera connection issue.
Connecting and disconnecting cameras will cause the V1 to automatically reset live
video. To manually reset the display of live video at any time, press the Live button.
The Live button is also used to return to live video after viewing your saved videos.
Depending on your system’s configuration and Live Video options settings, live video
preview may be of high quality, or it may leave something to be desired. In any case,
the V1 will attempt to record the actual video to your hard drive at the maximum
quality and resolution available.
Switching Camera Views
It is unnecessary to return to the Options window to switch between cameras, or to
switch between single and dual-camera modes. By default, the V1 will display the
following tabs when live video is displayed:
Use these buttons to quickly change cameras. The number of camera buttons available
here is determined by the “Camera Views” settings on the Options page. See the More
Options chapter for details. Split Screen options only appear if you have a dual-camera
license. The High Speed option only appears if you have a V1 High Speed Camera
license.
Several illustration tools and digital effects are not available for use with live video
preview. These include Zoom , Print , Plane , Enhance , Time-Lapse , and Flip . In
addition, with a Legacy VfW capture device, it will not be possible to draw at all on the
video window.
