EXTERNAL RECORD ONLY
External Record Only mode allows for external recording only. That is, the recording is NOT saved to the SSD,
and external recording is blocked if an SSD is mounted to the camera. An external recorder is required and can
be triggered automatically via HD-SDI (if supported by the recorder).
FRAME PROCESSING
NOTE:
Frame processing is not supported in Speed Ramp Mode. For more information, go to
Frame processing allows for the combination of multiple captured frames into one recorded frame. The
combination occurs before the resulting frame is encoded. You can select the following frame processing
settings: No Frame Processing, Frame Summing, Frame Averaging.
When in Frame Summing mode or Frame Averaging mode, the current integration time is applied to each frame.
This means if the integration time is not the entire frame time (or 360°) there will be gaps between the images
used to create the combined frame. This may lead to unexpected motion artifacts.
The effect of frame processing is only visible during record. In Frame Summing mode, this means the exposure
will change between preview and record. Experiment with the exposure and frame processing settings to
achieve the effect you want.
NO FRAME PROCESSING
Normal frame processing mode. The Frames to Process selection does not affect recording.
FRAME SUMMING
Frame Summing combines the specified number of frames into one frame, and adds together the exposure time
for each of the original frames. The resulting frame has an effective integration time that is equal to the current
integration time multiplied by the number of frames.
For example, if you select 16 as the Frames to Process value, and set exposure to 1/48 sec, the resulting image
has an effective integration time of 1/3 sec (16 x 1/48).
Frame summing results in a final image that is brighter and possibly blurrier than any of the original frames, so
you can use frame summing to achieve the effect of long-exposure.
FRAME AVERAGING
Frame Averaging combines the specified number of frames into one frame, and averages the exposure time
for each of the original frames. The resulting frame has an effective integration time that is equal to the current
integration time.
For example, if you select 16 as the Frames to Process value, and set exposure to 1/48 sec, the resulting image
still has the exposure value of 1/48 sec, along with the effect of long-exposure.
You can use frame averaging to achieve the effect of long-exposure along with the benefits of reduced noise.
However, frame averaging does affect motion blur characteristics.
