Video Output
Live (Video Output)
Note: Whenever the Locate mode (X-pattern) is activated by the EZ button, Live video
will automatically be enabled.
Note for CCD readers:
When Live video mode is active, in order to synchronize with the video format, a shutter
time of 1/1000 is the slowest shutter speed setting that can be applied to the camera
settings. Slower shutter speeds will disable the video output.
Notes for CMOS/External Camera:
1. When attempting to upload images, Live video mode should not be used. This is
because the 1st image captured in a read cycle is used as a “live” video buffer when
exiting the read cycle, and is continually updated with real-time image data. If this
buffer is requested to be uploaded, it will no longer have the original captured image,
but the last real-time image frame received.
2. If images are being saved on a noread condition, and the saved image is the 1st
captured image from the most recent read cycle, then the same problem will exist as
in note 1.
3. Video output is disabled during read cycle operation when configured in Live Video
Output mode.
Usage:
Live output is useful during initial setup in locating symbols in the field of
view in real time.
Definition:
The video output is configured for a real-time operating mode and is
updated every video frame. If used in conjunction with Dual Camera mode,
video will only output from the internal camera.
