Recording

 

Sessions

When OpenWorkbench is set to ‘Record’ mode and a Video_Access macro is present 

in the circuit, Workbench sends a UDP packet over the network to find RV2s. If 

Workbench doesn’t receive a response within five seconds an error message is 

displayed and recording begins without video storage. The UDP packet contains the 

tank and block name so the RV2 can properly name its files. Once an RV2 

responds, OpenEx begins sending frame triggers and recording data. When OpenEx 

switches modes to anything other than ‘Record’ a packet is sent to the RV2 to 

close the files it is currently writing to and wait for the next recording session.

Frame

 

Rate

The maximum frame rate depends on the camera’s exposure setting. This value can 

be adjusted using the ‘Lighter’ and ‘Darker’ buttons on the RV2 touch screen 

interface. The frame rate is overlaid on the camera image in the Live tab. The 

current maximum rate based on the camera settings is displayed when the camera is 

in free run mode. 

Note:

When recording data it is important that the desired frame rate is no greater than 

the observed free run frame rate, otherwise frame loss will occur. A lost frame 

counter is overlaid on the lower right corner the camera image. To reset this 

counter, see the Status tab. A reboot will also reset the lost frame counter.

Hardware

 

Requirements

Basic requirements include a VGAC, an RV2, an RZ equipped with at least one 

video fiber optic port, one fiber optic cable for connection between the RV2 and RZ, 

the VGAC power cable, one Gigabit Ethernet cable to connect the VGAC to the 

RV2, a PC equipped with an Ethernet port or an Ethernet jack connected to a local 

area network, and an Ethernet cable.
