Creating RAPID Videos
PillCam Recorder Download
After the capsule endoscopy examination, the video data in the PillCam recorder must be copied to a
computer and compiled into a video. There are two ways of doing this:
• Copy the data and compile the video as a single task. This method is the default; it is very
convenient, but takes longer to complete and free up the PillCam recorder.
• Copy the data only and perform compilation later. This method requires some additional steps, but
makes the PillCam recorder available faster (see Copying Data from a PillCam Recorder on
page 93).
When creating a video, the RAPID software:
• Creates a folder for the new video. This folder is inside the preset default folder (see RAPID Video
Files on page 143).
• Displays the images being copied from the PillCam recorder during video creation.
• Creates the RAPID video from this raw data and saves it in the new folder. The new video name and
its folder name are the same.
• Notifies you once video creation is complete so you may disconnect the PillCam recorder.

Note
• In the rare case that the video creation fails, RAPID prompts you to save the
raw data for customer support.
• You can reduce the file size while copying data (see
Video Data
Management Section on page 174).
• When downloading from four recorders simultaneously ensure that there is
at least to 40 gigabytes of hard disk space.
• Make sure that the computer power settings are not set to sleep or to
hibernate modes.

Caution
Connection of the PillCam recorder to the RAPID software for patient check-in,
video download, and recorder upgrade must be done using the appropriate
cradle.
