Grand Tec Capture Card and Camera Settings

[martrw]

Grand Tec X Guard on Mandriva 2006, ZM 1.21.4, Various cameras

It appears to me that ZoneMinder uses the same camera settings for each of the four channels on a Grand Tec 4 Channel capture card. For example, if I change the brightness setting for Monitor 3, then Monitor 1 automatically has the same setting. Ditto for Color, Hue, and Contrast. It also seems that all Monitors must use the same capture height and width, regardless of the camera resolution that is plugged into the different ports.

Am I correct in this observation or am I missing some switch, setting, parameter? It would be nice to adjust the individual channels to account for each camera's ambient lighting and light handling characteristics.

Anyone know?

If it's a single-chip capture card then yes, that will happen, as those settings apply to the chip rather than the channel.
