4.2.5.8 Capture or Record Image Data

This topic describes the Step-by-Step procedure to place the selected Phantom into the Capture state

via the Live Control Panel>Capture, or Record button.

By default Vision Research initially sets all Phantom cameras to start in the Live, or Preview... Waiting

for Pre-Trigger operational state. What this means is that the camera is capturing live image data and

transmitting that image data to an attached Phantom Control Unit or attached monitor only. The

image data is not being recorded into the camera's DRAM. The camera waits until a command or pre-

trigger signal, instructing it to start recording to its' DRAM image memory buffer, is received.

The end-user can determine that the camera is in this Live state by looking at the selected camera's

Preview Panel Status Bar and see that only the Live indicator is active, blue, and the Capture or

Record button is active while the Trigger button is inactive.

To place the selected Phantom camera into the Capture state via the Live Control Panel>Capture

button:

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE

Click the Live Control Panel Tab.

Click on the Capture button.

RESULT: The selected Phantom camera starts recording captured image data into the cameras'

DRAM., and the Rec indicator, located in the Status Bar of the Preview Panel will be active, red, along

with the Trigger button. Capture button will become Abort Recording.

If the camera has been set in Direct recording to CineMag (or Run/Stop mode) via Live

panel>Advanced Settings, the selected Phantom camera starts recording captured image data into

the cameras' DRAM and into the attached CineMag., and the Rec indicator, located in the Status Bar

of the Preview Panel will be active, red. However, since there is no Trigger button the Record button

changes into a Stop Recording button.
