What is Autolog Video?
Autolog videos are made of continuous audio recording
and variable frame rate compressed video. The video
compression rate of Autolog video is approximately one-
tenth the size of traditional video recording. Autolog video
looks similar to traditional video recordings but achieves
a much higher compression level (lower file size) by cap-
italizing on the static nature of pipe inspection video and
updating the image more slowly when the camera is not
moving.
When the camera is moving through the pipe, Autolog
video records five images per second to provide context.
When the camera stops moving, Autolog video records
one image every five seconds.
The substantial decrease in file size, compared to tra-
ditional video recording, makes storage and transfer of
files easier and less expensive. The Autolog key can
be used to quick-start an inspection. Press it when the
system is off and it will power on the unit, create a new
job, and start an Autolog video recording. With Autolog
video you can record the entire pipe inspection in a small
file format while recording video and taking pictures.
Recording Video
Press the Video key to start and stop recording video.
When video is recording, the LED below the key is lit and
a red video icon is displayed.
Pause the video recording by pressing the Select key .
When the video recording is paused, the red video icon
changes to a black video pause icon . Resume video
recording by pressing the Select key again.
To stop a video recording press the Video key . The
black video icon indicates that the video recording is
stopping and processing. Wait for a moment while the re-
cording processes and saves to the open job. The check
mark means the recording has been successfully pro-
cessed and saved to the USB drive.
Recording Audio
Press the Microphone Mute key to enable or disable
audio recording. When the microphone is enabled, the
LED below the key is lit, and the microphone icon is yel-
low . When video is recording and the microphone is
enabled, the microphone icon is red . The microphone
icon is gray when the microphone is disabled.
By default, the microphone is enabled and audio records
continuously during both Autolog video and video re-
cording so your narrations are intact and uninterrupted.
When video or Autolog video recording is paused, audio
is also paused.
During playback, press the Up and Down Arrow keys
to adjust the volume of the recorded audio.
Multi-Capture
Video and Autolog video can be recorded simultaneous-
ly and independently of each other. Both recording types
can be started and stopped without affecting the other.
Pausing will affect both recording types. Photos can be
taken during video and Autolog video recording.
