 Another trick that can be useful in some situations is *looping* your signal,
 ie., connecting your output back into your input. This allows you to measure
 delays that don't happen within Nageru itself, like any external converters,
 delays in the input driver, etc.. (It can also act as a sanity check to make
 sure your A/V chain passes the signal through without quality degradation,
 if you first set up a static picture as a signal and then switch to the loop
-input to verify that the signal stays stable without color shifts e.g. [#]_)

 For this, the *timecode output* is useful; you can turn it on from the Video
 menu, or through the command-line flag *--timecode-stream*. (You can also
