PCI High Speed Video System

1.5.5 Saving a Sequence in a Computer File.

Images recorded in the image memory will be lost if another recording is made. Therefore any
video data required later must be stored in a computer file before making another recorded
sequence. The formats available are an AVI file, or a sequence of BMP, JPEG, PCX or TIFF
files. The file contains all of the frame and elapsed time references of the original file together
with the video data.
For a high-capacity memory, the system may be able to record several sequences, since the next
record sequence starts at the first frame following the last frame of the previous recording.

1.6 Viewing the Image Sequence

CAUTION

: DO NOT attempt to save images while the system is actively playing them in

PLAYBACK mode. Attempting to save images while playing them can result in lost
or scrambled image files. Set PLAYBACK mode to STOP prior to saving your
images.

The video images from the camera in Live mode, from the Image Memory, or from an AVI file are
displayed in a window on the computer monitor. Click on the right mouse button and select
Properties to see the status and setup values set at the time of recording. The display may be
monochrome or color depending on the model.
The video image can be viewed on a remote monitor connected to the video output through the
Composite Out cable connector. You can view the image during record when the computer
monitor screen goes blank. The

Motion

Scope PCI system provides either NTSC or PAL video.

1.6.1 Loss of Frames During Playback

Playback at high frame rates may cause the loss of frames displayed in the sequence. This is
due to limitations of the host computer processor speed and memory capacity. A graphics
accelerator card may improve this condition. This does not indicate a loss of video data. All
frames can be accessed at lower playback rates.
