Control Tabs
The main window of PCC is divided into three tabs: Live,
Play and Manager.
When first started, the ‘Manager’ tab is selected. It is in
this tab connected cameras are displayed, selected for
use, and renamed. It is also used to manage saved Cine
files.
To rename, highlight then click the name of a camera.
This can be useful when working with multiple cameras.
All camera control and setting of shooting parameters
(frame rate, shutter, etc.) is performed in the ‘Live’ tab.
The ‘Play’ tab is used to review, edit, and save Cine files,
(either from the camera or from files on the local hard
drive).
PVP can be launched directly from the desktop, or by
clicking the ‘Video Out’ toolbar button in PCC.
PVP controls only the camera’s HD-SDI outputs as
connected to a compatible SDI monitor.
PVP (Phantom Video Player)
Application Overview
PVP, provides the ability to view, capture, review, edit, and/
or save a Cine recorded into the camera’s RAM to a hard
drive, or installed Phantom CineMag IV. PVP is extremely
effective when used with the high-resolution cameras
since most computers are not powerful enough to view
the live or captured raw files smoothly.
The camera’s video mode and display settings are also
set through PVP. Video systems will vary based on the
country you are in, what kind of video monitor used, and
the required display resolution. All available video setting
for the connected camera can be found in the ‘Settings’
menu of PVP.
PCC provides the ability to select various units for specific
camera parameters by clicking the ‘Preference’ button at
the bottom Manager tab.
Units can be set to commonly used values (‘Presets’)
or they can be customized using the pull-down selec-
tion lists. First time users should use one of the three
‘Presets’.
