4.5. Block Playback
(Playback of A Clip of Interest)
Playing a high-speed recording footage is time-consuming. For example, a footage
recorded at 2,000 FPS for one second takes 66 seconds to play back its entire length at
30 FPS. In many cases, however, the frames of real interest to you are only a few or
several tens out of the entire footage.
The APX RS’s Block Play function lets you see only a portion of special interest to you
out of the whole recorded frames. All you have to do is pick the first and last frames of a
clip you wish to play, as described below.
1. Press the LIVE key on the keypad to turn the system into the playback mode.
2. Press the PLAY key to play the footage in the usual manner.
3. Press the START key on the keypad at a frame that you wish to make the first
frame of a clip.
4. Press the END key on the keypad at a frame that you wish to make the last frame
of a clip. Now the clip of your interested frames has been defined.
5. Press the ON/OFF key in the SEGMENT PLAY BACK area on the keypad and
make sure the LED has lighted up. Now the system is in the Block Play mode.
