NAME¶
xatitv - GUI "TV in a Window" application from the
GATOS
package.
SYNOPSIS¶
xatitv [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
Xatitv is the main program shipped with GATOS. It allows GUI access to
all
GATOS functionality, save tv-out. The GUI is pretty
self-explanatory, but here are the basics:
- -
- When first run, hit setup and configure format and options, than do a
channel scan.
- -
- Use the three buttons labeled TV, CV and SV to select
video input from TV tuner, Composite Video and SVHS
respectively.
- -
- The Adv., Capture and Edit Channel buttons toggle
other sections of the GUI.
- -
- Volume, Brightness, Contrast, Hue and
Saturation can be modified by clicking the mouse at any location
along their respective sliders.
- -
- The Edit Channel GUI can be used to set channel-specific video and
audio settings (if a channel is too bright/dark, too loud/quiet, etc) and
to remove bogus channels. It can also be used to name a channel so you can
later select that channel by name.

- Capture single frame (Snapshot).
Note, motion capture in xatitv use a special ".yuv" file format unique
to gatos.
Snapshots on the other hand save to ".ppm" files, which are viewable
(and convertible) by most graphics programs.
There is no automatic intelligence in xatitv to select this file's extension, so
to make sure other programs don't get confused, always take snapshots to a
".ppm" file, and capture video to ".yuv" files. This
should be fixed in the next version.
Snapshots to files containing a number (eg: gatos000.ppm) will automatically
increment the number in this filename for the next snapshot. So after taking a
ppm snapshot to gatos000.ppm, xatitv will capture the next to gatos001.ppm,
then gatos002.ppm, etc....
