3.4.2.6.1 Recording a Video Sequence

Select the menu File > Record video sequence… to open the uc480 record dialog box. This dialog box provides

all the functions you need to create a video file (.avi) from a sequence of images captured with the DCx Camera.

Note

Video resolution: If the width or height of the video resolution is greater than 2048 pixels, some media players

may not be able to play the video.

Video compression: To reduce the file size, the single frames are stored in the AVI container using an adjustable

JPEG compression. It is possible to extract single frames from the AVI file.

AVI capture workflow

Once the AVI file has been created, images transferred from the DCx Camera are placed in a buffer. Then, the

images are compressed and added to the AVI file which is stored on the hard disk. These operations are not

performed in the same thread as the capturing process. If you capture more images while a compression or write

operation is in progress, the new images will be discarded.

Supported color formats

The supported input color formats are RGB32, RGB24, Y8 and raw Bayer. The output file will always be in RGB24

format, regardless of the input data format. Once the AVI file has been created, the following parameters of the

input image can no longer be changed:

Color format

AOI, binning and subsampling

Show only AOI

Note

AVI recording is only possible in the "Device Independent Bitmap (DIB)" display mode .
