object

      Object associated with this media control interface command. The object can be one of the following:

      • Device type
      • Device name
      • Filename
      • Alias
      BRIGHTNESS level
        Sets the brightness to the specified level (0-100).

        M-Motion specific: The default value is 80.

      CONTRAST level
        Sets the contrast to the specified level (0-100).

        M-Motion specific: The default value is 90.

      GREYSCALE ON
        Enables greyscale. Video is displayed in black and white.
      GREYSCALE OFF
        Disables greyscale. Video is displayed in color using the current settings.

        M-Motion specific: The default is off.

      HUE level
        Sets the hue to the specified level (0 - 100). A value of 50 specifies neutral hue, which is the default. Hue is also referred to as "tint."

        M-Motion specific: The default is 50.

      IMAGE BITSPERPEL count
        Sets the number of bits per pixel for saving bit maps.

        M-Motion specific: The default value is 12.

      IMAGE PELFORMAT type
        Sets the pel format or color encoding method for saving bit maps and images specified by the four-character code (FOURCC), such as yuvb or rgbb.

        M-Motion specific: The default is yuvb.

      IMAGE FILE FORMAT format
        Sets the specific image file format in which the image capture is to be stored (when "saved"). This format must be specified by a four-character code (FOURCC), for example, MMOT or OS13, and must be one of the currently supported and installed MMIO image file formats, or the device-specific format. This does not effect the loading or restoring of images. It overwrites any previous file-format value, such as that obtained through a LOAD operation.

        M-Motion specific: The default is MMOT.

      IMAGE COMPRESSION type
        Sets the compression type to be used for saving images if possible. Possible values for type include: none.

        M-Motion specific: The default is none.

        The following type values are not supported:

        • pic9
        • pic16
        • jpeg9
        • jpegn
        • rle4
        • rle8
        IMAGE QUALITY level
          Sets the specified still image quality level. Used for optimizing the auto-selection of compression type when saving to file formats.

          high

            Indicates photo-like image quality.
          med
            Indicates that the image has moderate complexity or quality.
          low
            Indicates a lower color or complexity image.
          M-Motion specific: The default is high.
        SATURATION level
          Sets the saturation to the specified level (0-100). Saturation is also referred to as "color."

          M-Motion specific: The default value is 65.

        SHARPNESS level
          Sets the sharpness to the specified level (0-100).

          M-Motion specific: The default value is 80.

        VIDEO ON
          Enables video output.
        VIDEO OFF
          Disables video output. The video window will be black. The following operations have no effect if video is set off: CAPTURE, RESTORE, FREEZE, and UNFREEZE.
        WAIT
          The command is executed synchronously. The function waits until the requested action is complete before returning to the application.
        NOTIFY
          The command is executed asynchronously, allowing control to be returned immediately to the application. When the requested action is complete, an MM_MCINOTIFY message is sent to the application window procedure.
