ESCRIPTION
The
snapshot
command is used to take and manage snapshots from the video received on
any input port. You can save the snapshots in JPEG or YUV format. Also, when saving in
JPEG format, you can specify the compression ratio to determine the image quality.
You can also specify the location where the snapshot is stored. Snapshots can be stored on
a mounted SSD, SD, USB or NFS media, or within the on-board NAND flash.
When taking a snapshot of the current video input, the filename is optional. If none is spec-
ified, a unique name will be generated based on the current time if NTP is enabled, or a
simple index such as
snap-1.jpg
if NTP is not enabled.
To overwrite an existing file, use the
overwrite=yes
option and specify the filename when
capturing the snapshot.
You can specify different formats and quality per snapshot in the
snapshot take
command. You can also set system-wide defaults for the preferred snapshot format and
quality via the
snapshot set
command.
TIP
Thumbnail generation can be disabled to speed up snapshot acquisition and storage
time.
ID
is used to select the video input on dual channel encoders (either
0
for BNC-1 or
1

BNC-2 on #S/B-292E-HDSDI2).
ID
is optional on single input encoders such as the #S/B-292E-HDSDI1 and the #S/B-
292E-DVI. If entered, only
0
will be accepted.
