If the VGA source operates in a non-standard VGA mode, you

can use the custom VGA mode settings to add that non-standard

mode to your Frame Grabber. The Frame Grabber can then

operate in that mode.

Adding custom VGA modes

Add custom VGA modes if you want your Frame Grabber to

operate in a non-standard (custom) VGA mode. You may want to

do this if your video source operates in a non-standard VGA

mode.
You can add as many custom VGA modes as you want for each

Frame Grabber. If you want the Frame Grabber to operate with a

single custom VGA mode, then just add one. You can add more if

you need to operate your Frame Grabber in different custom

VGA modes later.
In most cases the Frame Grabber will automatically select the

custom video mode that most closely matches the VGA output. If

you want to make sure that a the Frame Grabber selects a specific

custom video mode you can unselect all standard VGA modes

and all custom VGA modes except for the one that you want the

Frame Grabber to use.
Usually you would configure a custom VGA mode to match the

custom VGA mode of your VGA source. (So you do not need to

understand the details of custom VGA modes to add them to

your Frame Grabber.) The video capture application does not
provide any guidance in configuring custom VGA modes. You

can enter almost any value in any of the fields. So you need to

know the details about the VGA mode settings of your VGA

source then add that information to the custom VGA mode

configuration.
You can add, edit, and delete custom VGA modes. If you add

multiple custom VGA modes you can select one or more for the

Frame Grabber to use.
