Extracting Images from a Video Tape 
By recording a clip or still image stored on a video tape as
 
a single clip (single file) under certain rules, you can
 
automatically extract an image from the clip, and save as a
 
separate frame memory file. 
 
 
Relation between recorded state of video 
tape and files after extraction 
The extraction is carried out according to the following
 
rules. 
 
Example 1: When only video signal clips and a
 
still images are recorded (single files) 
 
V: video 
Red: red marker frame
a)
 
 
 
 
Single video tape 
 
Result of extraction: 
Each section surrounded by red marker frames is extracted
 
as a clip (main file). If the red markers surround a single
 
frame, then it is extracted as a still image. 
In the case above, two clip files (main files) and one still
 
image file are extracted. 
 
Example 2: When a video signal clip is followed
 
by a key signal clip with the same number of
 
frames (pair file) 
 
V: video
 
K: key 
Red: red marker frame
a)
 
Blue: blue marker frame
b)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Single video tape 
 
Result of extraction: 
The section surrounded by red marker frames is extracted
 
as the main file, and the section surrounded by blue marker
 
frames is extracted as the sub file. 
In the case above, one clip file (pair file) is extracted. 
a)
 
A red marker frame is a monochrome frame with the RGB signal levels at 
 
b)
 
A blue marker frame is a monochrome frame with the RGB signal levels
 
at 0%, 0%, 100% respectively.
