6.6 Cine Saving
Live Capture
Live capture refers to saving the images or cines in image scanning status; after the storage, the
system continues image scanning.
Live capture can be divided into 2 kinds: retrospective and prospective.
Retrospective saving is to save the specified images before the current moment; to save the
images stored in the cine memory to the system hard disk.
Prospective saving is to save the specified images later than the current moment; to save the
images to both the cine memory and the system hard disk.
The live capture time can be set. For details, please refer to preset chapter.
In imaging mode, tap [Pro Capture] / [Retro Capture] on the touch screen or press the user-defined
key for “Save Cine (Prospective)/(Retrospective)” on the control panel.
NOTE:
Press the save key again or <Freeze> to stop saving.
When a saving is completed, a thumbnail is showed in the Thumbnail area.
Frozen image storage
In frozen mode, tap [Pro Capture] / [Retro Capture] on the touch screen or press the user-defined key
(The key has already been assigned the function as “Save Clip retrospective or prospective”).
After the cine is successfully saved, there is a thumbnail displayed on the screen.
The live capture time can be set. For details, please refer to preset chapter.
6.7 Setting Cine Length
Live capture:
Prospective Cine Length
Prospective cine duration: set the time that the user taps [Prospective] as the start time. The
system proceeds saving the cine.
Procedures:
With the ECG disabled: tap [Cine] tab, and rotate [Time (Pro)] knob to adjust it.
With the ECG enabled: tap [Cine] tab. Tap [Loop Type (Pro)] to choose the type of the saving
time and the cardiac cycles. Rotate [Time (Pro)] or [Cycle (Pro)] to adjust it.
Retrospective Cine Length:
Retrospective cine duration: set the time that user taps [Retro] when playing the first frame of
the image. It also refers to saving the cine or cycles retrospectively.
Procedures:
With the ECG disabled: tap [Cine] tab, and rotate [Time (Retro)] knob to adjust it.
With the ECG enabled: tap [Cine] tab. Tap [Loop Type (Retro)] to choose the type of the saving
time and the cardiac cycles. Rotate [Time (Retro)] or [Cycle (Retro)] to adjust it.
Freeze storage setting:
The first frame of the image starts when the user pressing <Freeze> at the first time. The system
saves the cine in the auto review scope retrospectively.
Press <Freeze> to freeze the image. Rotate [Time (Retro)] to set the cine time of retrospective
saving in frozen status under Cine page, or mark the start frame in the auto review scope to set the
cine time of retrospective saving in frozen status.
Note: it is only available to save the cine retrospectively in the frozen status.
NOTE: the system ends up saving if the cine length goes beyond the maximum value.
