All Luminositi products have global settings that can be adjusted from the Control Panel. Click on Start->Settings to invoke your system's Control Panel. From here you can double-click the Luminositi logo.

Control Panel

Each Product has an individual tab that allows the user to adjust settings specific to that product.

Control Panel SoftCam Settings

First Capture Device
Adjusts SoftCam to be at the top of the list of video capture devices. Some video applications, such as RealNetwork's Encoder, only use the first listed device. Our installation process sets SoftCam as first, but subsequent installations of other devices may disrupt the order. Reapply this setting to ensure that SoftCam is the first listed device.

Control Panel WaveMux Settings

Side Tone
Gives you the ability to hear the sound effects and AVI audio that is being sent to the remote party. This setting enables side tone capability and must be enabled for the SIDE TONE setting in the options panel to work.

Preferred Audio Device
Adjusts WaveMux to be the system's preferred sound device. This can also be adjusted through the MULTIMEDIA dialog on the Control Panel. Some applications, such as RealNetwork's Encoder, use the system's preferred device rather than allowing you to select a custom audio source.

Prioritize PCM Converter
Sets PCM as the first converter in the list. PCM is the most widely used format and setting it as the first helps Windows find it faster.

Buffer Size is a tuning parameter for advanced users. A higher setting (max of 1,000) can help a slower machine smooth out audio. A lower setting (min of 200) can help a faster machine reduce audio latency.
