Video Monitor

Video Monitor is an analog video viewing application by Gary Woodcock that was included with Quadra AV and Power Macintosh AV computers from Apple Computer. It was later replaced by Apple Video Player.

Usage
Unlike other video applications at the time, Video Monitor can take advantage of the dual frame buffer architecture in Apple's AV hardware to continue live video playthrough even when running in the background. It requires the AV Digitizer Options extension to be installed. Video Monitor can also capture and store single frames of video. Capturing continuous video required the use of FusionRecorder, which was also included with AV models.

Issues
The PowerPC Enabler 1.0 and 1.0.1 are known to cause video sync issues with Video Monitor while operating in millions of colors. This issue is resolved with PowerPC Enabler 1.0.2.
