Viewing Per Frame Metadata in FasMotion
Whenever the TS3 records imagery, it also records a timestamp for each frame. This timestamp may
be displayed during playback and may also be saved to an XML file (See “Appendix H: Contents of
<Capture>.XML File” on page 91 and “4-13 Saving Images to Mass Storage” on page 40).
Per Frame Metadata may always be viewed while
playing unsaved images in camera memory and also
may be viewed when playing back saved image files
if they were saved with the XML file. (See “Save
Dialog” on page 41.)
To View Per Frame Metadata:
Select Per Frame Metadata from the View menu
while in Review.
The Per Frame Metadata includes a Timestamp,
Marker information, IRIG status, Sync status, and
Time source.
Timestamp Format
Time: YY:DDD:HH:MM:SS.xxxxxx
For the example shown in Figure 4-17 this is:
YY = Year: 13 = 2013
DDD = Day: 250 = Sept 7 (See “Appendix M: Day Number Calendar Conversion” on page 98.)
HH:MM= Hour:Minute: 13:43 = 1:43 pm
SS.xxxxxx = Seconds: = 06.798554 (granularity to
m
sec)
Note: the Timestamp line
is always available during
playback from camera
memory or from CAP files
loaded into camera memory
from an SSD. It is also seen
in saved files played back via
FasMotion, but only if they are
accompanied by an XML file.
Markers: 111111
The Timestamp line includes event markers. In the example shown in Figure 4-17, all of the I/O pins
were “high” for the duration of the displayed image frame. (See “I/O Pins to Markers” on page 51.)
IRIG: 0
In the example IRIG is not enabled (0). (IRIG is not currently an option for the IL3. If you have an
application that requires IRIG on the IL3, please contact Fastec.)
Sync: Internal
The Sync term can be Internal (internal camera clock used for frame timing), PPF (Sync-In pulse used
for per-frame timing), or PPS (1Hz clock input at Sync in used to derive the camera frame timing). See
“5-1 Sync In” on page 44.
Time: Internal
The Time is always set to Internal for the IL3.
