5-5 IL3 Timestamps and Markers
Whenever the IL3 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).
To view the Timestamp
and Markers, select
“Per Frame Metadata”
in the View Menu
while in Playback
mode.
Timestamp Format
Time: YY:DDD:HH:MM:SS.xxxxxx
For the example shown in Figure 5-10 this is:
YY = Year: 13 = 2013
DDD =Day: 253 = September 10 ( See “Appendix M: Day Number Calendar Conversion” on page 98.)
HH:MMM = Hour:Minute: 15:27 = 3:27pm
SS.xxxxxx = Seconds: 20.462783 (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.
If you are interested in archiving Markers and Timestamps, remember to save the XML file
along with the video!
Markers: 111111
The Timestamp line includes event markers. In the example shown in Figure 5-10 all of the I/O pins
were “high” for the duration of the displayed image frame.
For each I/O pin there is a default signal, such as Trigger-In, Sync-In, Arm-Out, etc. that can be enabled
via the Control menu. These same I/O pins may be utilized for marking events in the captured video
clip. The electrical interface is the same for all pins.
NOTE: These pins are very sensitive to over voltage and can easily be damaged. Please refer
to “Appendix D: Power and I/O Connections” on page 85.
