Clip Recording vs. Loop Recording
The POV.1 Recorder offers two different recording options, Clip mode and
Loop mode.
• Clip recording - this works like a traditional video camera. When you
press the RECORD button video is recorded continuously on the SD
card until the card is full or until you stop recording.
• Loop recording - this special recording mode helps save space on the
SD card by allowing you to save individual video clips of a pre-set
length. This way the SD card retains only your best footage.
You need to choose which of these recording modes you want to use before
you begin recording.
Recording Quality and Resolution
The POV.1 records video with a number of different options for resolution
and video quality. You may want to adjust these settings prior to recording
since they will affect the quality of the video you create and determine how
much video you can save on each SD memory card. The three settings to
consider are:
• Frame Rate - this is the number of frames that are recorded per second.
This setting affects how smooth the playback will be. The options are 30,
25, 24, or 15.
• Video Resolution - this setting controls the number of pixels recorded
in each frame. Your choices are 720x480, 720x400, 640x480, 360x240,
360x200, or 320x240.
• Video Quality - this affects the amount of compression used when
saving the video. The options are High, Medium, and Low. A high
setting produces a sharper more accurate image, but takes more space on
the memory card. A low setting saves space but sacrifices color accuracy
and detail.
The default setting is 640x480 video resolution, 30 frames per second, high
quality. You can change these settings using the Settings menu that is
described later in this manual.
