displayed when a user tries to perform the sequence capture
To perform the single frame capture procedure, press F2.
To perform the frame sequence capture procedure, press F3. To stop the sequence
capture, stop the video stream by clicking the Stop Video button:
Sequence recording is automatically stopped when the number of saved frames
reaches the sequence count limit.
The Snapshot Save Only option allows saving snapshots without showing it on the
screen.
When this option is selected and the command to save snapshot is given, snapshot will
be not shown on the screen but saved in the specified folder (the 'Picture File Store
Folder' field).
You can save the video stream from the SMX-M8xx camera to .avi file. Start saving
video by pressing F4 or the Save Video toolbar button:
Using the Stop Video button will stop the saving video process.
Note: When you open video .avi file right after it was saved, stop the video stream. Otherwise the file will not be avail-
able
You can also take advantage of the faster video saving method invoked by the Save
Video To Memory (Shift+F4) button:
When you click the Stop Video button, capture will stop and the SMX-M8X
Application will flush the .smx file to the specified folder (the 'Picture File Store
Folder' field). This file can be replayed and converted to .avi with the SMXView utility
that comes with the standard SMX-M8X software package. Saving video directly to
memory can slow down the camera's output visualization but this method insures that
no frames are missed from the saved file.
Use the Save Video to Memory option to limit the number of grabbed frames when
save video to the memory (the 'Capture Limit' field).
