Phantom Miro Control via "Touch-Sensitive" LCD Screens 251

THE DISPLAY FIELD DESCRIPTIONS

The majority of the information, displayed on the monitor or viewfinder screens, is the same as the

information described under the; "LIVE PRE Display Screen - The On-Screen Display Fields", except

for the following differences:

Camera State Designators

The Phantom logo will be red when the camera is in the LIVE WTR, (Preview, Recording Cine...

Waiting for Trigger), mode.

Memory Buffer Graphical Representation

The graphical representation of the camera's memory buffer, which acts as a memory gauge will

display a Recording to Memory Location Indicator, (a vertical line). It will scroll backwards from

the trigger point, (T), indicating that the (pre-trigger) memory buffer is in the process of being

filled the moment the camera has been placed into the LIVE WTR mode.

When the indicator reaches the beginning of the line the camera's memory buffer is full. This

does not mean that the camera stops recording since the camera utilizes a scrolling buffer

technique to fill the buffer. What this means is that the camera writes the captured image data or

frame into the first available memory location, the second frame into the second available

memory location, and so on until all available memory locations have been written into with

image data or frames. Once all the memory locations have been written into the next frame that

is captured will overwrite the image data that is presently stored in that first memory location, the

next frame overwrites the next location and so on. This process of overwriting memory locations

will continue until a trigger signal has been detected by the camera and any user defined post

trigger frame requirements have been recorded. It is only at this point the camera will stop

overwriting the captured images or frame stored in the memory buffer.

Trigger Camera Selector

This field is used to provide a soft-trigger to the camera.

NOTE

You can also use the On-Camera Trigger button to provide a hard-trigger to the Phantom

Miro eX1, Miro 1, Miro eX2, Miro 2, Miro eX4 or Miro 4 camera models by depressing the

trigger button.
