Instant Replay
When the SloMo Mini is used with file based video recorders, the SloMo
Mini can perform instant replay of the video within the limitations of the
video recorder.
Typically traditional Instant Replay requires that the video device be able to
simultaneously record incoming video while the video device plays back the
video of interest. Unfortunately, most low cost file based video recorders
cannot simultaneously play and record. These SloMo Minis can only play
OR record. Fortunately, the SloMo Mini can perform the instant replay
function within this limitation.
Most low cost file based video recorders cannot record video while they are
replaying video. This is a limitation of the video hardware, not the SloMo
Mini.
How Instant Replay Works
When the Replay button is pressed the following occurs:
•
The SloMo Mini commands the video recorder to stop its current operation.
•
The SloMo Mini commands the recorder to cue back to a defined moment of
interest.
•
When the recorder is at the moment of interest, the SloMo Mini commands the
recorder to replay the video at a speed defined by the T-Bar.
•
When the recorder reaches the end of the video of interest, the SloMo Mini
commands the recorder to resume the operation it was previously performing. If
the video recorder was previously recording video, the SloMo Mini will command
the recorder to start recording. Typically, this will cause a new file to be created.
