Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I show the video display only?
The option to show the video display only has been removed. Now the µView window can be sized easily to fit in the corner of the window.
When copy is selected from the video window the image may look incorrect?
Because the image may be stretched when placed onto the clipboard, maximize the size of the µView window and then select the copy video image option. This will place a copy of the video window in the clipboard that is not stretched.
