designators include:
MagInit
Indicates the Phantom CineMag has been detected either during camera power-up, or when
a Phantom CineMag has been inserted onto the camera.
MagScan
Indicates that the Phantom CineMag is running through it power-up, self-diagnostics
routines.
MagReady
Indicates that the Phantom CineMag has passed its power-up, self-diagnostics routines.
MagErase
Indicates that the Phantom CineMag has been instructed to erase its contents, and is
performing the erasure procedure.
Number of Takes
This field indicates the number of takes or cine files, (movies), recorded to the Phantom CineMag.
As takes are recorded the Number of Takes field increments.
Memory Usage
This field indicates the amount of bytes used to store recorded frames. As takes are recorded the
Memory Usage field increments.
Memory Size
This field indicates the total number of bytes, or the memory size, of the Phantom CineMag.
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
The graphical representation of the camera's memory buffer, which acts as a memory gauge will
display a Recording to Memory Location Indicator, (an up-arrow), will scroll forward from the
trigger point, (T), indicating that the post trigger frames are being written into the camera's
memory buffer.
When the indicator reaches the end of the line the camera's memory buffer is full, and the users
defined post trigger frame requirements as been satisfied the camera stops recording image data
or frames. Once this process has completed the camera will go into the LIVE CST, (live image
preview, cine stored), mode.
Recording to Memory Location Indicator
The up-arrow is a graphical representation of the memory location the displayed image will be
stored into.
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
