Fine tune the video input of your micro camera or camcorder

Each video device listed has a DirectX driver to allow the manipulation of its settings. So, if you have a capture card such as a TV tuner card installed properly, then you can plug video devices such as a micro camera or a camcorder into the capture card via the S-Video or the Composite-Video input on the back of your PC.

1AVCenter allows you to manipulate all the settings that each device driver provides, and if you plug in a micro camera into the S-Video, then what you have to do is to select or create a profile that has the capture card as the video device used as video source. Learn more about capture profiles and how to set a video source.

Select the video device that represents the capture card and click on 'Connect'. After that click on 'Video Settings', and select the option 'Video Input > S-Video'. The contents of your micro camera should be showing at this point.

When you click on 'Video Settings' a popup menu appears listing all the configurations you can change, such as brightness, hue, saturation, gamma, frame-rate, video device format, channel frequency, and so on.

In the case of your micro camera you will probably find the 'Video Capture Filter' option when you click the 'Video Settings' button. Select the 'Video Capture Filter' option and you will be able to change brightness, hue, saturation, gamma, definition, and other settings that will allow you to fine tune the video image to be captured from your micro camera.
