NAME

SYNOPSIS
     videopanel

PARAMETERS
     None

DESCRIPTION
     The application videopanel provides an easy-to-use graphical interface to
     control all the installed video hardware.  It allows you to set various
     hardware parameters through various sliders, menus and pushbuttons in
     panels sorted by function.  For example, all the common controls for
     input signal control are presented in one pane of the main panel.

     It connects to the video daemon on the default or named server and reads
     the list of controls available.  It then groups these controls based on
     whether they're considered professional or common, and presents the
     common controls on a panel.

     The common controls on a video panel might include hue or contrast.

     On the various menus are selections for changing the device (if more than
     one device is installed) and for bringing up the professional controls,
     as well as running the common applications related to video input and
     output.
