Video Modes
You can switch between four different video modes:
Video Mode Output Resolution (SBS) Framerate Field of View
2.2K 4416x1242 15fps Wide
1080p 3840x1080 30fps Wide
720p 2560x720 60fps Extra Wide

Please note that the field of view is linked to the video mode.
Recording Video
The ZED Explorer records feeds in a Stereolabs SVO format that is compatible with the ZED SDK functions. With
SVO files, you can record stereo feeds from the ZED and compute later the depth map for these feeds using the
SDK. You can convert SVO files to Side by Side or 2D+Depth AVI files using the
SVO Decoder
Sample provided in
the SDK.
For further information on how to convert SVO files refer to the dedicated ZED SVO Decoder Sample section.
