This Frame Rate Profile feature allows the end-user to define up to 5 different frame rates that
automatically change, at specified points, during the capturing process of post trigger frames.
The first profile is the profile defined under Live Control Panel>Cine Settings Selector. The
remaining four profiles will be applied to Post Trigger frames only.
NOTE
This Frame Rate Profile feature is not available with all Phantom cameras, and the actual
frame rate changes will only be applied to Post Trigger frames.
Intervals Selection List
The Intervals Selection List defines the number of profiles to be used during the capture
process. Changing the Intervals value generates a uniform distribution of the profile
partitions, (in image count).
Image#/Time Selection List
This selection list is used to specify the desired variable used to define the profile(s). The
selection list includes the following options:
Image#
The Image# specifies the first frame or image number the defined profile will change.
Time(s)
Specifies the time from trigger.
Image%
Specifies the image number percentage from post trigger frames.
Time%
Specifies the time percentage from post trigger duration.
NOTE
If the header variable is changed for the first column the remaining values will be updated
according to selected variable. Small changes can occur, because of the rounding process,
when switching from, then back to the Image# option.
Rate
The Rate entry fields define the sample rate or frame rate the images will be recorded at.
The rates will be updated in order to be compatible with the exposure value set in Live
Control Panel – Cine Settings.
PT Duration
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 rate settings. This field will
change based on these variables.
Rate Profile Graph
The Rate Profile Graph displays an active graphical representation of the defined profiles.
