Post Image is cropped/shifted if connecting a VGA output to DVI
Problem: Image is cropped/shifted when connecting a VGA output to a DVI capture card on a Hippotizer.
More details:

When you connect a device to a DVI capture card using a VGA-DVI adapter or cable, the resulting video captured by the Hippotizer may appear to be cropped or has been shifted up/down or left/right.

Solution:
This problem occurs because the Hippotizer software is unable to correctly capture the settings to use from the output device as it is not a DVI connection.
To workaround this, you need to work through the following steps;
NOTE: These changes are not permanently saved so if the software is restarted, these steps will have to be done again.

1- Configure the source device to the desired output resolution.
2- Start up Hippotizer software, and select the appropriate source in the layer control.
3- You should see that the VGA output is coming through albeit cropped.
4- On the Hippotizer desktop, run the Datapath VisionRGB-DVI window application (you should be able to do this while the Hippotizer software is running).
5- In most cases, the Datapath Applcation will correct the input as soon as you select the correct window, and these changes will be picked up by the Hippotizer software.
6- If you want to adjust them manually select Window|Input Settings... in the RGB-DVI application.
7- Once you have run this application, you can exit from it and the Hippotizer software will still use the corrected settings unless it is restarted.
