Functions description

Video recording from digital cameras
The video can be recorded from several types of digital cameras using RECORD IT module. After the module installation the control elements for video recording will be added to the control panel of the imaging device.

Video recording from analog cameras and other sources of analog video signal
The video can be recorded from analog cameras and other analog devices using RECORD IT module. That way video can be recorded e.g. from videoendoscopic systems, ulrasonographs, VCRs, DVDs.

The video recording can be stopped by pressing the trigger button again. The recorded video file is automatically stored to the hard drive and the program is ready for another recording. In case of two-button trigger, one button can be used for video recording whilst the second one can be used for capturing of still images. The user can fully focus on work, e.g. endoscopic examination and watch all the recorded video files and images later.

Used video format
The recorded video is stored in the files with .avi extension. The codec from Microsoft® corporation is used for video compression. The codec is necessary to be installed on the PC for video playback and is downloadable for free here.
