Software Components - Roundshot VR Drive Instruction Manual

1.2 Software components

1.2.1 VR Drive firmware options
The VR Drive quality mode represents the
base functionality for panoramas up to 360°
(or more). The camera is stopped in every
position. This mode is used for panoramas
with difficult lighting conditions (indoors)
and for bracketing of HDR images.
In turntable mode
the camera
captures images of
a rotating object on
a turntable for
object movies.
Never miss an
image, perfect
positioning!
In "HDR mode" the camera is controlled by the VR Drive, enabling
wider bracketing for 32-bit HDRs. The VR Drive "HDR mode" controls
the camera software directly and allows a virtually unlimited
bracketing range. It is an "all-in-one" solution - no additional devices
are needed.

In speed mode the camera is rotated non-
stop, ideal for moving scenes outdoors. This
fast-release mode requires a fast shutter
speed which is computed by the VR Drive in
function of camera/lens, sensor size, focal
length and speed of rotation.
In video mode the VR Drive moves
the camera in the x/y space in a
linear trajectory. It is possible to
control speed, acceleration, duration
of the movement and pauses.
In timelapse mode the VR Drive
releases a sequence of images
which are then composed into a
timelapse movie. Three capture
formats are possible: 360°
rotation,linear movement along
a rail or dolly.
