file with an “inf” extension in the INFO directory, which is a sub-folder of
SANYO.
Sira Video Index
This is a special format that permits SiraView to play video from hard disk
images. Prior to viewing the contents of a hard disk using SiraView, a
separate application is used to create a set on index files for the video. You
must have both the index files and hard disk before the video can be
played.
Southeastern MPEG4
Each video is contained in a single file with a .avf file extension.
Stork
Each video is contained in a single file with a .dvr file extension.
Synectics
Synetics video files have a .dat file extension and there are usually several
video files in a folder which are all parts of the same video from one
camera. Loading any one of the .dat files will load all of them in the folder
and also load any which are in adjacent folders that contain video from
other cameras.
SiraView displays the time as GMT and does not correct for daylight saving.
Tecton Darlex
The video is held in three large files in a single folder. One of the files has a
“VID” file extension and the other two are usually hidden. Then select the
VID file to load the video. SiraView loads Tecton Darlex files very slowly as
SiraView may have to read a whole DVD of data to locate the video of
interest.
When the Tecton Darlex recorder writes a DVD, it has the option of saving a
series of separate pieces of video. Each piece is known as a track. When
loading a Tecton Darlex video, SiraView has two options
1) To show only those images saved in a track
In this instance “Autodetect > (*.*)” or “Tracked frames only
(*.vid)” are selected
2) To show all images
To search for additional images on the disk from files that have
been previously erased it is necessary to explicitly select a file type
of “Tecton Darlex (All frames) (*.vid)” in the file open dialog box.
When a Tecton Darlex video is loaded an extra control for selecting the
track appears on the SiraView toolbar.
Teleste MoRIS
SiraView loads and displays a single file with a “rec” extension. If there are
multiple files they must be displayed separately. The Teleste MoRIS Viewer
may give arbitrary time offsets and therefore may not be consistent with
SiraView.
