If you select Shutdown System on Exit , the V1 will close all open applications on your
system and attempt a power-down when you exit the V1 software. This option is
handy if you are using the V1 as a dedicated Kiosk system.
The Popup Help Windows option will cause pop-up help windows to appear alongside
the cursor as you move the cursor over the V1’s buttons. Like the pop-up menus
option, you may wish to try this option if you are new to the V1, but once you have
acquired some experience with the system, you will likely wish to unselect this option.
Pop-up menus contain additional tools and features. They appear when you click and
hold down certain V1 buttons, or use the right mouse button instead of the left one.
The Record , Time-lapse , ball flight Animations , and other illustration tool buttons
have this behavior. If you select for these menus to Appear instantly , the V1 will
display them as soon as you move the mouse cursor over the associated main V1
button. You might wish to try this feature if you are new to the V1 in order to expose
“hidden” features. Once you become more acquainted with the V1, however, you will
likely wish to disable this feature.
The Show Degree Measurements with Lines option will cause angle degree
measurements (relative to the horizon) to be drawn alongside the lines that you draw.
Without this option selected, the degree measurement is still displayed alongside the
line until you release the mouse cursor while drawing a line and the line is finalized.
The Open helper window for multiple exposure tool option helps to simplify use of
the Multiple Exposure feature. When enabled, a series of Key Position frames may be
selected for use in the multiple exposure frame. When not enabled, you must manually
“expose” the frame by using video playback buttons and the slider.
Internet Updates
If your system is connected to the Internet as your V1 software loads, the software will
automatically check the Interactive Frontiers website for available V1 updates.
If an update is available, a message will appear on your screen asking whether you’d like
to download it. If you answer Yes the V1 software will fully download the update
before closing and launching the installer. Following installation, the V1 will
automatically restart. In addition, a browser window will open the page
www.v1home.com/Updates/V1/Updates.htm . This page contains details of what’s new in
the update.
In certain circumstances, and especially where the Internet connection is problematic,
the automatic update check may cause the V1 to become unresponsive at startup. To
