5.1 Exporting, Printing, or Emailing Images
Single frame shots can be saved or emailed in either Bitmap (BMP) or JPEG (JPG) format. BMP images retain all of the
original image detail, but are typically much larger than JPG images as a result. JPG images are compressed and are
typically indistinguishable from the original image when the JPG quality is 70 or greater.
Opens the Export context menu where the file format is selected. The Export button is only enabled when
Video Footage is selected in the Playback window.
Still Image
Select Bitmap to save the current frame in bitmap .BMP format. Select the export destinations and enter a
filename. Click Save when finished or Cancel to exit without saving.
Select JPEG to save the current frame in JPEG .JPG format. Select the export destination and enter a filename.
Additionally, you may select a quality setting for the JPG image by adjusting the slider. Closer to the left side
means a lower quality, smaller sized file; further to the right means a higher quality, larger sized file. For the
most part, the default compression setting is the best choice. Click Save when finished or Cancel to exit without
saving.
E-mail
Select Bitmap or JPEG to E-mail the current frame in .BMP or .JPG format. Enter the email subject, body and
recipients.
Note: For email to function properly, a valid SMTP Server must be configured in the VIGIL Server Settings tab.
Select the destination you want to save the image to. You can select
multiple destinations by checking the corresponding boxes, as well as
create subdirectories by using the New Folder button. When Exporting
a Bitmap the Quality slider will not be visible.
Prints to the Windows default printer. Click this button and select Print Still Image.
Note: The image will be sent to the default Windows printer only. If one has not been configured an error mes-
sage will inform you of this.
