You can precisely resize and position the overlays and you can control how long (in seconds) they are
displayed on the screen.
For example, you may want to add a 10-second overlay to your video, comprising an arrow and
explanatory caption, to highlight a crack or debris.
Note: You cannot add overlays after recording the video. For example, you cannot add a new arrow
and text caption while playing back a survey video. (Of course, you can export the .mp4 video and
overlay graphics and captions using third party video editing software.)
Follow these steps:
1 Start recording a survey video; see page 171.
2 Press the panel button to pause the recording when you observe a pipe defect or another
feature that you want to highlight.
3 With the video paused, press the Overlay graphics button.
4 Add overlay items. Choose from:
- Shapes: Use squares, circles and arrows to highlight features visible on the screen.
- Text: Add explanatory captions.
- Graphics: Add any custom images, such as a hazard symbol. (First, you need to save the image to a
USB memory stick and insert the memory stick into a controller USB port. Use the arrow keys and
the Enter key to select the image you want.)
