Epiphan Frame Grabber

However, configuring VGA modes can be useful if you have

special requirements or if the VGA source and Frame Grabber do

not automatically select the VGA mode that you want. To resolve

problems like this you can configure VGA modes to either limit

the standard VGA modes that the Frame Grabber can operate in

or you can add one or more custom VGA modes and configure

the Frame Grabber to operate in a custom VGA mode.

Figure 43:Configuring VGA Modes

The Frame Grabber acts like a display device. Many VGA sources

set the VGA mode that they use by checking the VGA modes the

display device can use and then setting their VGA output mode

to match. So if you can control the VGA mode that the Frame

Grabber uses you may be able to control the VGA mode that the

VGA source uses.
If the Frame Grabber and the VGA source cannot automatically

select the VGA mode that you want them to use, you may be able

to resolve this by only allowing the Frame Grabber to operate in

one or some standard VGA modes.
