Video Window
The video window consists of four parts: The Title Bar
, the Video Display Area
, the Text Overlay Controls
and the Audio Mute Button
.
The video window can be a set to maintain a fixed size or be resizable. If the window is set to fixed size, the
video window is set to 640(H) X 480(V) pixels and only the standard Close button is available. The window
location can be moved, but the size and aspect ratio cannot be changed. If the window is set to allow resizing,
the standard window controls for resizing by dragging the sides or corners are available, and the Minimize,
Maximize (full screen) and Close buttons are available. See
Video Capture and Display Advanced Settings
section for information on how to change the video window from a fixed size to resizable.
Video Window Title Bar
The video window title bar displays the number of snapshots and video recordings captured during the current
session. When video is being recording the word "Active" and the current video file size is also displayed. These
numbers are not retained when you close VideoRay Cockpit. If there are no snapshots or recordings, no
information is displayed.
Video Display Area
The video display area displays the video from the active camera, which can also include the text overlay. When
video is being recorded, a flashing red dot is displayed in the upper right. When audio is being recorded (not
muted), the word "Audio" appears under the flashing red dot. The flashing red dot and the word "Audio" are for
information only and are not recorded.
Video Text Overlay
The video text overlay controls enable the display of the date, time, ROV sensor data and user defined text to be
overlaid on the video image. Data from attached accessories or other sensors can also be imported and
displayed on the video as overlay text. See the
Data Import
section for more information about data import.
Audio Recording and Muting
Recorded audio can be used to add narration to the video in real time. Whenever video is being recorded, audio
is also being recorded to the same file. The audio can be muted to eliminate background noise or unwanted
conversations. The Audio Mute button can be found in the lower right corner of the video window. Microphone
selection can be made using the
Video Settings
section of the
System Settings
tab of the
User
Settings.
