• If you are using a DV device make sure it is set to DV-out mode (BTV should do this automatically for DV converter devices). • If you are using a USB audio device as your sound input source please make sure you have QuickTime 5 or later, if you don't have it you can can get it here. • If you are using a TV card or another video input device with multiple inputs make sure the correct input is selected in the Source section of the Video Settings window (under the Settings menu). |
| No video when in full screen mode |
|
When in full screen mode try selecting the 'Fill the screen with video' option in the 'Video size' menu. If you are using Mac OS X make sure you are logged in as an administrator. |
| Video display is not smooth |
| Turn on the 'Use more processor time' option in the preferences. |
| Channel Changing |
| BTV supports channel changing on the ixTV and TurboTV cards on OS 8 and OS 9. Currently no other devices are supported - BTV should be able to display video from other TV tuner devices but will not be able to change channels. |
| Monitor goes to sleep after some time when viewing full screen video |
|
To prevent your monitor going to sleep turn off Display Sleep in the Energy Saver control panel. If you are running OS 8 or 9, BTV can prevent display sleep if you turn on the 'Use more processor time' option in the preferences and hide the mouse. There is an option in the preferences to hide the mouse automatically when going to full screen mode. |
