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.

       -      There are many other feature, look around and tinker with them.

              -Esc   Quit.

              -PrintScreen
                     Capture single frame (Snapshot).

FILE FORMATS

       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....
