the camera into Preview mode, allowing the user to view a live image in the Preview Panel.

Once the camera is placed into the capture, (recording), mode, the Cine field will

automatically change from Preview to the Cine Number. Initially, the cine number will be 1

because the system automatically writes image data into the first unused memory segment,

unless otherwise instructed by the end-user.

Selecting a cine number, from the list, will place the camera into the capture, (recording),

mode.

Selecting Preview will place the camera into the "Preview, Waiting for pre-trigger..." mode. It

is in this mode that you can specify setup parameters that can be applied to all memory

segment profiles when the Copy Parameters to>All Cines in this cam command is selected

via the Camera pull-down menu. When Preview is selected the camera is instructed to

send a live image to the control unit and/or attached monitor, and set the camera to the idle

state.

Selecting the Copy Parameters to>All Cameras command, via the Camera pull-down menu,

changes the Live Control Panel settings for all cines to the values currently displayed. This

option deletes any recorded cine files in the camera. This system will, however, verify this

process by displaying a Warning message for every recorded cine prior to deleting the

image data.

Lock All Button

By selecting the Lock All button all cine partitions will synchronize to any changes made to

the Resolution, Sample Rate, Exposure, EDR exposure, and Post Trigger, of any cine

partition. The changes will be applied to all cine partitions in the selected camera or

sub-group of cameras.

NOTE

This feature is only applicable when a Phantom camera is in MultiCine mode.

Resolution

The Resolution setting allows the user to change the dimensions of the images. The

Resolution is the width to the height ratio of the image to be recorded. Each type of camera

has a specific maximum resolution. Changing the Resolution settings to match the

dimensions of the subject of interest allows the user the option of recording at higher sample

rates, or longer recording times at the same sample rate.

Phantom cameras can be mounted in any position allowing great flexibility in matching the

shape of the subject of interest.

To define the desired Resolution, click the down-arrow to the right of the Resolution field to

view a list of predefined aspect ratios. If the end-user wishes to use a resolution not

displayed within the list simply enter the desired Resolution, and hit the enter key, the

system will select the closest, allowable, Resolution for the camera's sensor.

Using the CAR (Continuous Adjustable Resolution) feature, provides for resolution

adjustments between the minimum and maximum drop-down list values as follows:

· Phantom 65 in 4096 x 8 pixel increments.

· Phantom HD Gold, HD in 2048 x 8 pixel increments.

· Phantom v710, v640, v310, v210, and v12 Series in 128 x 8 pixel increments.

· Phantom v10 and v9.1 in 96 x 8 pixel increments.

· Phantom v9.0 in 48 x 8 pixel increments.

· Phantom v7.3 in 32 x 8 pixel increments

· Phantom v7.2, v7.1, v7.0, v6.2e, v4.3, and v4.2 in 16 x 8 pixel increments.
