5.1 Defining the Operational Mode
Phantom cameras that support a Phantom CineMag can operate in one of two operational mode,
including:
Loop
In the Loop Mode, the camera stores the recorded image data into the camera's DRAM buffer. In this
mode, the Phantom CineMag operates like any other Flash card, after a cine file is recorded into the
camera's DRAM frame buffer, you can manually save it into the CineMag using the "Flash Memory"
dialogue window which can be accessed in either the Setup and Recording or ViewCine dialogue
windows.
NOTE
This mode supports recording up to the maximum frame rate.
R/S (Run/Stop)
In Run/Stop Mode the image data is recorded, for a Phantom HD up to 450fps at HD resolution (2048
x 1080), directly into the Phantom CineMag.
