1.1 Operation modes
The ATOM one SSM500 supports two operation modes:

Trigger Mode:
This mode uses the internal storage space to record and playback
slow motion video with up to 500 frames per second. This version can be used
stand alone.
•
SSM Mode (Super Slow Motion 4x):
This mode does not use the internal storage
but streams with 240 FPS via four HD SDI (4x 1080p60) outputs This version is
intended to be used with external storage / video server solutions (like EVS).
The operation mode can be switched with the
switch_mode
command, which requires a
reboot. Details can be read in chapter 8.10.
