1. How to use Program
Getting Started
Welcome to SkyCapture!
SkyCapture Program is an operational program of SuperCast capture card series by Skydigital Inc. In order to
skillfully operate the program, you should get used to and familiarize yourself with two menu systems. You
will ha e to go through with them before you mo e ahead.
1.1 Program Menu
There are two menus mostly used during the session with SKY Capture Program. One is Program Screen
Menu and the other is Pop-up menu. You can use them at your con enience. Program Screen Menu is more
likely a monitor, recorder and player. And it consists of 4 portions
① Title Bar : Minimize, maximize and close the screen menu
② Screen : Displays the contents.
③ Control Bar : You may click on the icons to bring up function
④ Status Bar : Displays current alues for the input, resolution, progress, screen size and so on.
These title bars, control bars,
and status bars are always isible
(fixed), or if necessary,
adjustments such as (OnMouse)
that appear when you mouse
o er them are possible.
You can check the contents
in the 2.3 Program menu.

2. Program environment setting
To set up the Capture program, click the en ironment setting icon ( ) on the control bar or right-click on
the screen to display a pop-up menu, then select “En ironment Settings” to bring up the setting window.
2.1 Driver
The dri er menu consists of the part controlled by the dri er side of the capture board as a menu, and you
can set ideo and audio input settings and color settings.
■ Video standard
In external input mode, this menu is used to
select the ideo standard to match the ideo
standard of the country. For Korea and North
American regions, NTSC format is used. The
PAL method is used in Europe and the SECAM
method in some regions such as France.
■ Video resolution
In the ideo resolution menu, you can select
the input mode and the input resolution/frame
rate that can be set in each input mode.
- Auto Detect
The Auto Detect function is a function that
automatically detects the input resolution and
automatically sets the screen to fit the size. If
you set Auto Detect in the ideo resolution
menu, it automatically recognizes and sets the
frame rate that matches the resolution as well
as the input resolution.
If you select a resolution other than the Auto
Detect option, you may not be able to get the
correct resolution. Please select Auto Detect if
you do not know the exact resolution and
frame rate because the program does not
support upscaling or downscaling.
■ Color
Select the color format of the ideo image being input.
The default recommended setting is 16bit (YUY2). 24bit (RGB) may not be supported or the screen may not
be displayed normally depending on the system en ironment or arious complex situations.
■ Video Color Adjustment
This menu is a menu that allows you to adjust the color (brightness, contrast, hue, saturation) of the input
image. Since it is set in the input state, the color alues set during playback and recording are applied.
Adjustment can be adjusted by dragging with the mouse.
- 10 -
■ Audio Sampling Rate
You can select the audio sampling rate. The audio sampling rate output from most ideo equipment is
48KHz. Howe er, if the connected de ice outputs at 44.1KHz, it can be input at 44.1KHz in the Capture
Program. In general use, it is recommended to select “Auto Detect”.
2.2 External device
In this menu, it is an option to play or record using an external audio input rather than using HDMI input
audio (when playing or recording). For external audio, you can use the line-in or microphone-in terminal of
the sound card (chipset), or you can use the audio de ice of the webcam. Also, in Screen mode, which
requires the use of a stereo mix de ice, you must set up a stereo mix through an external de ice for normal
audio playback and recording.
■ Ext Audio Device
- Use external audio
External audio input will be used
instead of using audio input ia HDMI.
-Speaker output
If you check the speaker output, you
can hear the sound input from the
external audio e en during playback,
and the sound input from the external
audio is recorded e en during recording.
Howe er if speaker output is not
selected, external audio is not played
but sound input from external audio is
recorded only when recording.
- De ice
Set the external audio de ice you
want to use. Depending on the de ice
type, you can select the sound card
name or webcam, but there are cases
where you can select an integrated
audio mixer de ice depending on the
sound dri er or settings.
- Input
If you select a sound chipset or de ice,
set the de ice you want to input (line in or
microphone in, etc.).
■ Screen Audio
- De ice
Select the audio de ice of the screen mode function as a stereo mixer.

- 11 -
2.3 Program
This is a menu for the basic settings of the program, and it is configured to set the bar option for the control
/ status / screen title and audio amplification.
■ Bar options
You can adjust the display status of the
title bar / control bar / status bar.
Since each bar can be set to be isible or
in isible, bars that are frequently used can
be set to appear, and bars that are not
used frequently can be displayed with the
mouse.
▶ Fixed:
The bar is unconditionally displayed in
the program.
▶ OnMouse: When the mouse cursor is
mo ed to the bar position, the bar
automatically appears, and when the
mouse cursor is mo ed to another place,
the bar disappears.
▶ None : Doesn't show that bar.
- Arrangement of control buttons
This menu is used to adjust the positions
of the buttons displayed on the control bar.
▶ Auto: The menu buttons on the
control bar are automatically arranged
according to the program size.
▶ Left: Arrange the control bar menu
buttons by positioning them to the left
side of the program.
▶ Right: Arrange the control bar menu
buttons by positioning them to the right
side of the program.
-Bar size
Adjust the bar size in 3 steps of 25/33/40.
■ PCM audio amplification
When the olume of the input audio is ery low, this function amplifies the olume with the software and
applies to both playback and recording. Amplification is possible only for PCM audio, and digital audio such
as AC3 or DTS cannot be amplified. Mo ing the scroll bar to the right boosts the olume le el of the input
audio.
◆
Note
◆
DTV subtitles / number of pre ious TV channels / mouse wheel option are supported only on TV
recei ing cards.
- 12 -
2.4 Recording Setting
It consists of a menu for recording options, time shift settings, and frame capture (still image sa ing) for
recording settings.
■ Recording options
- Recorded file size display
This menu shows the recorded capacity in
real time during recording.
If you select this menu, you can check the file
size and recording format (MP4, MKV) sa ed
in real time.
- Start recording without Stop/Run
In the case of normal recording, when
recording starts, a filter is configured so that
recording can be performed, and a stop-run
process is performed.
There is a delay of about 1 to 2 seconds
during this process, so it is incon enient if
you need to record immediately.
The ad antage of selecting this option is that
you can start recording from the point you
want.
Howe er, it is recommended to turn off the
option in general recording situations as
recording may not be possible depending on
the characteristics of the encoder.
- Input to the encoder after applying
deinterlace in ad ance
Normally, most of the encoders used for
compressed recording ha e a built-in
afterimage remo al (deinterlace) function, so
that the afterimages are remo ed from the
recorded recording. Howe er, depending on
the encoder, some encoders do not support
de-interlacing. In this case, after applying de-
interlacing in the Capture program, you can compress and sa e through the encoder.
This function is used at this time, but it is not recommended for general recording because it differs
according to the characteristics or types of encoders.
The resolution required for deinterlacing (image remo al) is an interlaced resolution such as 480i or 1080i,
and in the case of progressi e images such as 720P / 480P that do not require afterimage remo al, the
function will not be executed e en if this function is turned on.
-Progressi e 50/60 frames recorded in 1/2 (half)
This function cuts the progressi e 50 (PAL) or 60 (NTSC) frames such as 480p or 720p in half to record at 25
or 30 frames. In other words, the recorded ideo retains the progressi e method, but because it stores only
half of the frames, it has the ad antage of reducing the capacity in half without losing quality.
Howe er, since the number of frames is 1/2, the smoothness during playback may be slightly less than for
60 (or 50 frames) frames in mo ing images with fast camera mo ement.

- 13 -
◆ Note ◆
When recording at 1/2 frame, you need to cut the bit rate of the set encoder in half to cut the capacity in
half. If you set the bit rate to the original bit rate with the progressi e 50/60 frame 1/2 recording function
set, the recording capacity will not decrease.
-Automatic creation of year/month folder
Select the hard disk dri e and folder you want to sa e. Howe er, after the folder set for collecti e
management, a folder in which the year and month are recorded is additionally created, and the recordings
are recorded in the folder. In other words, for recordings made in May 2020, a folder named “2020_05” is
created under the folder set in the storage folder, and the recordings are recorded under that folder.
■ Time shift
This function is only supported by DVT recei ing card, and is not supported by capture card.
■ Frame Capture
- Format
When sa ing as a still image, specify the format.
BMP method and JPG method are supported, and JPG method is a compressed format, so it can be sa ed
with less capacity than BMP method.
- Frames per click
This is the menu to set how many screens are sa ed when the still image sa e button [] is pressed.
If the frame per click is set to 1, one screen is sa ed each time the still image button is pressed, and if it is
set to 5, fi e screens are sa ed each time the button is pressed.
-Frame spacing
When capturing multiple frames per click, this feature is an option to set how many seconds to capture each
frame.
- 14 -
2.5 Encoder
It is a menu where you can set the file format and compression codec (encoder) during recording, and you
can record in MP4, MKV, etc. methods.
◆ Note ◆
The file format setting of the digital (DTV) option is a function not used in the capture board.
■ Analog (ATV, external input)
- Select the recording file format
This is a menu to select the recording format when
sa ing the input ideo as a ideo. For 4K high
resolution recording, the performance of the
hardware encoder built into the graphics card is
important. Until now, only GTX 1050 or higher
graphics cards among nVIDIA series graphics cards
are supported normally. Intel and AMD series are not
supported. The file format must be selected from
two types, MP4 and MKV.
- Recording muxer, ideo encoder, audio encoder
settings
This is a menu where you can specify ideo encoder,
audio encoder, and mux for each recording format
for compressed storage when sa ing ideos.
Among them, in the case of MP4 and MKV, which
basically pro ide encoders, the user can of course set
a separate encoder or muxer, but the encoder and
muxer are basically set to suit the recording format.
It is recommended to use the default setting after
selecting the file format. The quality can be set by
pressing the setting button on the ideo encoder.
◆ Note ◆
In the compression codec (encoder) separately installed by the user, the ideo and audio may be out of sync
or the image quality may be degraded depending on the performance and settings of the codec (bit rate,
etc.), and recording may not be possible.

- 15 -
2.5.1 MP4 Recording
In MP4 recording, both ideo and audio are compressed and sa ed.
When recording in MP4 format in the SKY Capture program, the encoder and muxer pro ided by default
▶ Video Encoder : SKY Smart H.264 Encoder
SKY Smart H.265 Encoder (Recommended)
▶ Audio Encoder : SKY Smart AAC Encoder
● Video and Audio processing flow chart for MP4 recording
- 16 -
2.5.2 MP4 Recording
In MKV recording, both ideo and audio are compressed and sa ed.
When recording in the MKV method in the SKY Capture program, the basic encoder and muxer pro ided by
default
▶ Video Encoder : 1. SKY Smart H.264 Encoder
2. SKY Smart H.265 Encoder (recommended)
▶ Audio Encoder : 1. SKY Smart MP3 Encoder
2. LAME Audio Encoder

- 17 -
2.5.3 Video encoder detailed settings
This setting is for recording by compressing the input ideo effecti ely.
It is used to set the codec type, bit rate (quality) mode, setting alue, and key frame inter al.
If you click the “Settings” button on the right of “SKY Smart H264 Encoder” or “SKY Smart H265 Encoder” set
in the ideo encoder category, the following setting screen appears.
■ H.264 / H.265 Video Encoder
In order to encode 4K resolution, MFT using hardware acceleration of the graphics chipset must be set, and
only nVIDIA graphics chipset MFT is supported normally (refer to recommended specifications).
■ Bit rate control method
In Mode setting, you can select Quality / VBR_Constrained / VBR_Unconstrained / CBR method.
● Quality – This is an encoding method in which a ariable bit rate is applied automatically according to the
optimal image quality according to the quality le el. (Default recommended option)
● VBR_Constrained - Limited ariable bit rate setting method.
This is a method of changing the quality of the image to be recorded according to the motion and size of
the input image. This is a method of recording with limited maximum and minimum alues of the image size.
● VBR_Unconstrained – Unconstrained ariable bit rate setting method This is a method of changing the
quality of the image to be recorded according to the motion and size of the input image. It is a method that
allows unlimited recording without setting the maximum/minimum alue of the ideo size.
● CBR - Constance bit rate setting method
This is a recording method to compress the input ideo into a uniform capacity regardless of the motion
and size.
- 18 -
■ Bitrate / Max rate
It is a unit representing the data size of an image that needs to be processed per second. (Bit Per Second)
The higher the bit rate is set, the larger the ideo data, the better the quality and the larger the file size.
If the bit rate is set smaller, the image data size decreases, so the file size decreases, but the quality
deteriorates.
Max rate can be selected only when the bit rate control method is ‘VBR_Constrained’.
It corresponds to the maximum bit rate alue that can be processed when compressing the input ideo.
Please refer to the settings below for the recommended bit rate by resolution.
In ut Video
Resolution Max rate (kb/s) Bit-rate (kb/s)
480i 4000 2500
480p 6000 4000
720p 10000 8000
1080i 15000 12000
1080p 20000 18000
2160p 30000 25000
■ Keyframe spacing (for ad anced setters)
The key frame inter al option is the same concept as GOP (Group Of Picture), and is an option to set how far
the key frames are to be arranged between frames of consecuti ely input images.
It can be specified in units of ms (1/1000 sec), and the default is 1000ms (for ad anced setters).
■ B frame (for ad anced setters)
B frame setting is a menu to set the order in which each frame is arranged.
Depending on this setting, the capacity and quality will differ, and the Seek can be affected when playing
back recorded recordings.
● None - This is the default setting for recording at the lowest capacity by configuring only B frames.
● IBP - This refers to the method of processing (encoding) the frame arrangement in the GOP in the order of
I Frame / B Frame / P Frame.
In this way, when compressed recording is performed and then played, it has the ad antage of being able to
quickly mo e to the designated location during Seek, but it has the disad antage of taking up more space.
● IBBP-This refers to the method of processing (encoding) the frame arrangement in the GOP in the order of
I Frame / B Frame / B Frame / P Frame.
It is the intermediate setting of NONE and IBP and a frame arrangement method that does not significantly
change the capacity while mo ing the position effecti ely during playback.
◆ Note ◆
When B frame is set to IBP or IBBP, it is difficult to process Full Frame when using Intel QuickSync MFT in EVR renderer.
Unless there is a special case, it is recommended to use "None" in the H.264 / H.265 encoder setting.

- 19 -
■ What is I/B/P frame?
● I Frame (Intra Frame)– refers to the frame that is the reference when determining the key frame inter al
and refers to an independent image frame that does not refer to the pre ious or subsequent frames.
The more I Frames are inserted, the more ad antageous it is to mo e the Seek to a specific point when
playing the result, but the file size increases as there are more complete image frames irrespecti e of the
pre ious/post mo ement.
● P Frame (Prediction Frame) – This refers to a frame that contains data in the forward direction, that is, the
part where the change of the frame to come in the future occurs. Compared to I frame, the capacity is
smaller and the compression rate is better.
● B Frame (Bi Directionally Frame)
It refers to a frame that contains only the data of the part where the pre ious/after frame change occurred.
This frame has the smallest capacity and good compression rate, but its image quality is relati ely
deteriorated, and it is a frame that puts a little more burden on decoders or seeks when playing back
recordings.
2.5.4 External Encoder Setting
The SKY Capture program pro ides basic encoders and muxers for compressed recording.
If you want to set an encoder other than the encoder pro ided by our company, please proceed as follows.
External encoders can be additionally specified only
when the standard DirectShow-based codec is
installed on Windows. We do not pro ide encoders
that can be further configured other than the
default encoder.
① Select the recording format (MP4, MKV) you
want to record in "File Format".
② As shown in the picture on the right, you can
select the item you want to set in Muxer / Video
Encoder / Audio Encoder.
Click the [ ] button and select "User_Define".
③ In the Filter Dialog window, select the codec
(encoder, muxer etc.) you want to set and click the
OK button.
- 20 -
④ When the codec setting is completed, you can proceed with compression recording using the selected
codec.
◆ Note ◆
External encoders must use a codec consisting of a ideo encoder, audio encoder, and muxaga set.
If you set up each encoder and muxer, there may be a connection problem.
2.6 Decoder Setting
Decoder is a codec used to decompress a compressed stream.
For SuperCast X 4K products, the pre iew ideo is processed as it is without any compression, so it has
nothing to do with the decoder setting.
Howe er, in the case of digital compressed audio (AC3, DTS, etc.), you can hear normal sound only when the
decoder is set for each.
■ Video decoder
It is used to play files compressed with MPEG2 / H.264 /
H.265.
■ Audio decoder
Decoder settings for decoding (decompressing)
compressed digital audio.
In the SKY Capture program, Cyberlink Audio Decoder and
AC3 Filter decoder are pro ided as codecs for decoding
when digital audio such as AC3 or DTS is input.
◆ Note ◆
AC3, DTS supported by SKYCapture Program can
normally support up to 6Ch digital audio.
DTS HD audio may not be processed normally.
AAC Audio and other digital audio will be supported
through future re iew.

- 21 -
2.7 Renderer Setting
This is a function that outputs digital ideo or audio to the screen and speakers.
■ Video renderer
The renderers supported by this program are
EVR / VMR9 / VMR7 /.
Video renderer support aries depending on the
OS en ironment.
-EVR: It is a ideo renderer that is a little more
ad anced than the VMR9 renderer. Like VMR9,
it uses system memory to set and render a
ideo area.
EVR Renderer is a ideo renderer designed to
work well with Aero (transparent effect) of
Windows 7.
Accordingly, arious types of renderers are
pro ided, so it is recommended to set and use
the renderer that is most suitable for your
system.
-VMR9: It is a ideo renderer that can render in
the area allocated by system memory without
using an o erlay. You can run more than one
ideo like the VMR7.
Howe er, VMR9 renderer takes slightly higher
CPU usage than O erlay, and compatibility may
not be good for each OS or graphics card dri er.
-VMR7 (Video Mixing Renderer): A ideo
renderer that can use both o erlay mode and
system memory.
The feature of this renderer is that when the ideo is executed alone, it operates in O erlay mode, and when
the ideo is already executed in O erlay mode, it allows you to iew the ideo using the system memory.
■ Audio Renderer
It is a renderer that allows you to output sound through a speaker.
Audio renderers can use DirectSound and Wa e Out renderers.
Among them, the DirectSound renderer is capable of mixing with other sounds, so if you run the Capture
program e en when the sound output program is running, you can output the sound output from the
Capture program to the speaker as well.
In contrast, the Wa e out audio renderer cannot be used with other sound output programs because mixing
is not possible.
