POV.HD  User  Manual  

Tips  and  Guidelines  

 

33  

When  the  POV.HD  begins  recording  using  the  Loop  Record  Method,  it  gets  the  Loop  Record  Time–30  seconds  
in  this  example–and  begins  recording  a  segment  of  that  length.  When  that  segment  is  complete,  it  is  saved  
temporarily,  and  another  segment  is  started.  The  drawings  show  the  time  line  divided  into  30  second  chunks  
which  correspond  to  the  recorded  segments  for  this  example.  
When  you  press  Tag  to  save  a  loop,  the  POV.HD  saves  the  entire  segment  you’re  in  right  now  plus  the  segment  
that  immediately  precedes  it  and  the  segment  that  follows  it.  This  means  that  if  you  press  tag  just  after  
something  exciting  happens,  you  will  capture  what  happened  immediately  before  the  tag.  When  using  the  
Loop  Record  Method,  you  don’t  need  to  anticipate  what’s  going  to  happen  in  order  to  catch  everything.  Loop  
lets  you  catch  things  after  the  fact.  Because  the  Loop  Record  Method  also  saves  the  segment  immediately  
following  the  current  segment,  if  you  hit  tag  near  the  end  of  the  current  clip  you  will  still  get  one  entire  
segment  following  your  pressing  TAG.  
NOTE:  Each  time  you  press  TAG,  the  POV.HD  saves  four  separate  clips.  One  for  the  segment  preceding  the  
current  segment,  one  for  the  current  segment,  one  for  the  segment  following  the  current  segment,  and  an  
XML  file  for  the  tag  which  created  the  clips.  Each  of  these  is  stored  as  a  regular  clip  file.  The  figure  below  
shows  the  nine  clip  files  that  result  from  the  example  above.  Also  note  that  there  are  no  entries  in  the  ‘tags’  
directory.  

Loop  &  Forward  is  a  combination  of  the  Loop  and  Clip  methods.  When  you  start  recording  video  is  captured,  
but  none  of  it  is  saved  until  the  first  time  you  press  Tag.  At  that  point,  the  POV.HD  saves  a  loop  just  as  it  would  
in  Loop,  but  from  that  point  forward,  all  video  is  saved,  as  it  would  be  when  using  Clip.  

 

Once  you  have  pressed  Tag  to  start  saving  captured  video,  pressing  Tag  again  adds  a  tag  to  the  clip,  again  as  it  
would  if  you  were  using  clip.
