Running DVD Station for the First Time 15
USING DVD STATION
DVD Station is a versatile application that allows you to play a variety of DVD,
MPEG, and CD formats. This section describes how to use DVD Station to play
full-length feature films recorded in the DVD format, and data CDs containing
MPEG files and also Audio CDs. DVD Station will automatically detect the format
of the disc in your DVD drive and identify the file type in the Display Panel. DVD
Station can also detect MPEG files in your CD-ROM and hard drives.
Running DVD Station for the First Time
The first time you run DVD Station you will be prompted to run the Auto
Calibration and Region Selection procedures. Each is described below.
Auto Calibration
In order to be able to display the signal from the Wired 4DVD card on your
computer monitor, the system must be ÒcalibratedÓ. This is an automatic process
that tests the signal from your computerÕs monitor port and adjusts the output of
the Wired 4DVD accordingly.
If the current resolution and color depth of your monitor has not been calibrated
before, this dialog will appear when you launch DVD Station.
Just click
Start
and the calibration will be done automatically. The screen will
flash and show various shapes during the calibration process.
The calibration is specific to one resolution and color depth setting of your
monitor; if you change either setting and then run DVD Station, you will
again be prompted to Auto Calibrate. DVD Station retains the calibration
data for each resolution/color combination, so if you switch back, you
wonÕt need to recalibrate.
