Below is a brief description of the information that could be displayed in the LIVE PRE display

screen:

Camera State Designators

The camera state designation is comprised of two items; the Phantom logo and text display.

The color of the Phantom logo will change based on the state of the camera. The Phantom

logo will be cyan (blue) when the camera is in the LIVE PRE mode. The text, to the right of the

Phantom logo, indicates the present state or operational mode of the camera.

Date and Time

The date and time stamp field indicates; day number/hour:minute:second:microsecond.

Resolution

This field indicates the active pixel area, (Width x Height), of the sensor defined by the user.

Sample Rate

This field specifies the rate the Phantom camera will capture or record image data, (frames),

into the camera's memory.

Shutter Angle

This field shows the current, user defined, Shutter Angle or exposure setting of the camera.

Memory Buffer Graphical Representation

This is a graphical representation of the camera's memory buffer. It acts as a memory gauge

that consists of two basic components when the camera is in the LIVE PRE state.

The first component, of the graphical representation is the line which represents the total

frames that can be stored in the camera,s buffer. The second component is a "T" on top of the

line. The "T" represents a trigger point that is defined by the user. Any frames that are

captured after a trigger signal is detected by the camera are referred to as Post Trigger

frames, and the frames recorded prior to the trigger signal are referred to as Pre-Triggered

frames.

Maximum Recording Time

This field indicates the total length of recording time. The recording duration is based on the

amount of memory in the camera, along with the resolution and sample rate settings. This field

will change based on these variables.

Maximum Recordable Frames

This field indicates how many images or frames will be recorded within the Duration time. This

field will also change based on how the amount of memory in the camera, and how the

resolution, and sample rate are set and will change accordingly.
