OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Camera Settings-continued
Video Format-continued
Items in the above Video Format window are described as:
• Frame Rate – this setting controls the frame rate of the image or video. The higher the
frame rate, the larger the file size.
• Color Space/Compression – this setting controls how many colors will be shown. The
higher the number, the more colors that can be shown. High pixel depth allows your
videos and images to show realistic colors. Various color formats can be selected, but 24-
bit RGB color is recommended unless your PC can display only 256 colors. As with
resolution, the higher the pixel depth, the more data the video or image will contain.
• Output Size – this setting controls the size of the image or video that will be shown by the
software. Larger images contain more data, so the frame rate might be slower than for
smaller resolutions.
Since these settings directly control the amount of data in a video or still image, they are very
important when transmission speed or file size are at a premium. High resolution and pixel depth
can generate very large amounts of data. If sending a video over the Internet or recording a video
to a file, you may wish to lower the frame rate and color depth to achieve greater transmission
speeds or smaller file sizes, respectively.
Special Effects and Frames
This webcam features special effects and frames to add creativity to Internet chats and video
recordings. See the Web Chatting and Special Effects Guide at the end of this manual for
detailed instructions for this feature.
