Saving Images
The Annotation Pro can save displayed images in the following ways:
• moving images can first be frozen and then saved.
• a single frame of a moving image can be captured “on-the-fly” as it goes by on the screen.
• any still image can be saved.
The image can be saved to a USB memory device or to another computer using TFTP or SMB (Windows Share).
The image is saved based on the settings you’ve chosen. Files are saved in bitmap format, 24 bit true color with the
extension .bmp., or saved as .jpg. The captured frame will be the size of the screen resolution.
NOTE: Images can be saved at .jpg, but the Annotation Pro cannot retrieve these images. .jpg should only be used if
the Annotation Pro does not need to be able to use the image again. Save the file as a .bmp for retrieval to work.
The USB memory device must be a single device, like a memory stick. It cannot be connected through a multiple
port memory card reader. It must also be format ted as FAT16 or FAT 32.
To save an image file to a USB device
1. Save the image file in one of the following ways:
•
Touch Screen

Image Save
command area (center-left).
