Overview
sqcam is a program that displays the output of a QuickCam on a system using svgalib.
Options
-
-sscale -
scale can be 1, 2, or 4. It specifies what fraction of the QuickCam data should be discarded. scale of 1 indicates that all the data should be sent. scale of 2 indicates that half of the pixels on each line and half of the lines should be discarded, resulting in 1/4 as much data being transferred. scale of 4 likewise means a fourfold shrinking in each direction.
-
-Bbpp -
Bits per pixel. Valid values are 4 (giving sixteen shades of gray) and 6 (giving 64 shades of gray).
-
-bbrightness -
Exposure time. Useful values are 1-254, with low numbers indicating short exposures (for use in bright light) and high numbers indicating long exposures (dim light). brightness of 255 puts the Cam in "bulb mode", which is not useful with
qcamandxqcam.
-
-ccontrast -
contrast is normally set at 104. Low numbers indicate low contrast. Valid values are 0-255.
