Overview of configurations:

The VideoGhost Pro and VideoGhost Max can be used in a variety of hardware configurations, determined by the functionality and software configuration. Each configuration is associated with one of the three modes:

  • Capture mode – the VideoGhost Pro/Max does not connect as a USB device, but may perform timer-triggered and push-button-triggered image captures
  • Virtual COM mode – the VideoGhost Pro/Max connects as a USB Virtual COM device (typically used with VideoGhost Control), however may still capture images triggered by the timer, push-button, or COM command

This mode may be set through the configuration file as the default mode of operation.

Configuration 4: Capture mode with auxiliary RS-232 control and JPEG timer Description: The VideoGhost Max will capture a screenshot when triggered through the external RS-232 control, internal timer, or push-button, and store it as a JPEG file. The device will not enumerate as a USB device, but may draw power USB. This mode is only supported by the VideoGhost Max, and is its default mode of operation.

Configuration 5: Virtual COM mode with on-demand capture, auxiliary RS-232 control, and JPEG timer Description: The VideoGhost Max will connect as a Virtual COM port, allowing full access through a PC application VideoGhost Control with on-demand capture. Additionally, an external RS-232 device may control the VideoGhost. USB will be used to power the device. The JPEG capture timer may run in parallel. The push-button may be used to store a JPEG to the internal memory, or to transfer an image through Virtual COM. This mode is only supported by the VideoGhost Max, and may be set through the configuration file as the default mode of operation.
