Via the Phantom Camera Control Software

For details to provide a soft-trigger to the camera using the Phantom Camera Control application,

click the following link: Step-by-Step Processes>Live Control Panel Procedures>Triggering the

Phantom Camera.

Result of Supplying a Trigger

Upon detection of the trigger signal the Phantom logo, located in the upper left-hand corner of the

screen, will be changed to yellow. The Camera State Designator will also change to the LIVE TRG,

(Live, Triggered), state. If the camera has been configured to record post trigger frames, the

Memory Fill Indicator will advance forward, (to the right), of the Trigger Point on the Memory Buffer

Graphical Representation Bar, indicating the camera is continuing to record the user-defined

amount of post trigger images.

During the post trigger frame recording process a Wait Indicator will be displayed in the lower right-

hand corner of the screen.

The LIVE TRG state will only be displayed when the sample rate is set to low recording speed.

When the recording is completed the Phantom logo will turn green, and the Camera State

Designator changes to the LIVE CST, (Live, Cine Stored) state.

6.2.10 Viewing a Stored Cine File

As mentioned earlier in this file, it is from the PLAY CST, (playback, cine stored), mode the user can

play the captured cine file, to review the recorded cine file prior to editing or saving the file. The user

can play the cine file forward or in reverse, or pause the playback, using the touch sensitive, built-in

LCD display screen.

It is from this display screen you would delete the recorded cine file from the camera's DRAM

(Dynamic Read Only Memory) buffer to record a cine file.

NOTE

To view a cine stored on the Type 1 CompactFlash, saved from a Miro eX1, Miro 1, Miro eX2,

Miro 2, Miro eX4, or Miro 4, model camera, you will need to remove the Compact Flash card

from the camera and insert it into the attached CompactFlash card reader connected to the

Phantom Control Unit.
