4.20 Select The User Interface
The Set TV style option in the
floating menu or the Configure
menu of the menu bar selects the TV
interface. When the TV style is set to
Cabinet or Screen only, choices are
made through the remote, the
keyboard, or the floating menu.
When the cabinet is
on, the TV is resizable in three sizes:
full, half and quarter screen. If the
style is set to Screen only or Standard
Window, the screen is arbitrarily
resizable. When Standard Window is
selected, a standard pop-up Window
is used to display the video. The title
bar and menu bars can be turned on
and off.
4.21 Set Channel Presets
Channel presets are set up in the
Presets/Tuner dialog box which is
invoked by choosing the
Presets/Tuner choice from the
floating menu or the Configure
menu of the menu bar. You can set
up to 11 presets corresponding to
function keys F2-F10 (F1 is reserved
for Help by convention). When the
tuner source is selected, you can
switch to preset channels using the
function keys.
4.22 Zooming and Panning
Video can be zoomed by a factor of 2
by selecting Zoom from the floating
menu or from the Display menu on
the menu bar. You can also zoom by
double-clicking with the right mouse
button over the video window. When
the video is zoomed, you can pan by
dragging the mouse over the video
window with the right mouse button
pressed.
4.23 Switching to Tuner, VCR,
Camcorder, or Laser Disk Player
You can switch to the external video
source and have a specific control
program initiated by selecting
Tuner, VCR, CamCorder, or Laser
disk through the Peripheral menu
of the menu bar or through the
floating menu. To specify the
control program, the user must
edit the PCPT.INI file. If no control
program is specified, the video
(and audio) source is switched,
but no control program is started.
