Return Values

Countdown value remaining before screen burn-in protection starts.

Description

This function returns the value remaining in the countdown counter until burn-in protection starts. The initial value used for NTSC and EURGB60 is 18000. This value decrements by one per field. The screen saver activates when the value reaches zero. With PAL, the count starts from 15000, and the screen saver activates when the count reaches zero. Always returns zero while burn-in protection is running. The count returns to its initial value if the input status of the controller changes or if FALSE has been specified for the VIEnableDimming function.
