Customer just got his new setup consisting of the following:
- Asus P5Q3 Deluxe/WiFi mainboard
- Intel Q9450 CPU
- Ati/Amd HD4850 graphic card (hotfix 8.6 catalyst)
- WindowsXP Pro SP3
- Edius Pro 4.61
For a few months more he'll be working with his old DVStorm. So I needed to modify the Canopus.ini as stated in the driver's readme file. Usually things have worked with the following setting:
[DVStorm-RT.stmcore.conf]
OverlayMethod=1
[DVStorm-RT.stmdd]
OverlayUpdateMethod=0
But this time the overlay remained black. So I searched my notes and found an old Edius V2.5 setting:
[DVStorm-RT.stmcore.conf]
OverlayMethod=1
[CtsHal]
OverlayUpdateMethod=1
Guess what? This setting works although the [CtsHal] parameter is somewhat undocumented. The overlay itself could be better because there's tearing and sometimes a comb like effect.
So my questions are:
1. Is there a complete list with parameters for the Canopus.ini?
2. Can the [CtsHal] parameter harm anything?
3. Is there anything I can do to get a better overlay with the DVStorm?
TIA for your answers.
