The Color Properties
is used to adjust the color settings. It also allows gamma control for video
playing of the Video Overlay. The color settings affect all display devices mapped to the view.
You can change red, green, and blue display colors. Set Desktop and Video Overlay brightness
(gamma) levels can also be changed.
n
Desktop brightness
increases or decreases the
color brightness of you desktop. The higher the
gamma value, the higher the brightness and
contrast of your display.
n
Overlay brightness
increases or decreases the
color brightness of your video overlay window. The
higher the gamma value, the higher the brightness
and contrast of your display.
n
Game gamma
increases or decreases the color
brightness of Direct 3D or OpenGL games
played in fullscreen mode.
n
Color Curve
adjusts the selected color (red, green,
or blue) by moving the color curve with
your mouse.
n
Default
restores the color settings to the default
values.
