Parts

object

Object expression that resolves to a BPCDeviceBase object.

lCutPercentage

Long that contains the percentage of pixels that should be trimmed from the edges of the video image displayed. For example, if your application set this value to 5 for a 100-x-100-pixel image, 5 percent of the pixels is trimmed from each edge, in this case 5 pixels. The default value is 1.

Remarks

Television screens have a band of unusable space around the edge of their display. Setting OverScan enables your application to display on a computer precisely the same image a viewer sees on a television set.
