7.4.3 Changing the Camera's Operational States

The Trigger button is used to change the cameras operational state. By default a camera will start in

the LIVE PRE (Preview, Waiting for Pre-Trigger) state.

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

Depress the Trigger button one time to place the camera into the LIVE WTR (Preview, Waiting for

Trigger) or capture/recording mode.

NOTE

If the camera is set to record pre-trigger images the Memory Buffer Graphical Display will show

the memory allocation progress, indicating how much of the memory buffer has been filled

with image data or frames. It does not, however, display the camera's ability to continuously re-

allocate newer images into its scrolling buffer.

If a cine has previously been stored into the camera's DRAM you must hold in the Trigger

button for approx. 5-seconds to place the camera in the LIVE WTR state.

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESSES

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 Phantom Camera Control software (Cine > Save RAM cine to Flash).

Run/Stop - In Run/Stop Mode the image data is recorded, up to 450fps at HD resolution

(2048 x 1080), directly into the Phantom CineMag.
