Page 10: Figure 4 Ip Address Incompatibility
The device to which StreamView-LR is connected must have a DHCP server in order to enable DHCP. A network router will have this capability but a laptop or desktop computer typically does not. If you are directly connected to StreamView-LR, you must use a fixed IP address. The message below will appear if you try to use DHCP without a DHCP server. -
Page 11: Figure 5 Setting Streamview-Lr Mtu Size
To set the network interface MTU size, click on [My Network Places->View Network Connections] then select the interface to which StreamView-LR is connected. The window of Figure 6 will appear. Next click on the [Configure] button and then the [Advanced] tab. Figure 7 will appear with a list of attributes for that network interface. -

To disable Windows firewall, select [My Network Places->View Network Connections] and right-click on StreamView-LR’s network connection to get the [Properties] menu. Click the [Advanced] tab then [Settings…] and select firewall off. -
Page 15: Streamview-Lr Operating Modes
INITIALIZATION When the StreamView-LR application is started, the default “Play” window appears as shown in Figure 2. Video files can be opened and played in this mode whether a camera is attached or not. AVI files must be 8-bit (monochrome) or 24-bit (color) and are limited to a 2-GB file size. -
Page 16: Capture Mode
*.mvw file format. This file format gives the fastest download times and smallest file sizes. SVSi’s StreamView-LR software is available for free and can be downloaded from our website for customers playing the default format. Once actual frames are identified for public dissemination, then AVIs, BMPs, or TIFFs can be generated from the “Play”... -
Page 17: Figure 10 Streamview-Lr Capture Window
MTU size and a sufficiently fast processor, no frames should be dropped at frame-rates as high as 200-fps. As soon as the “Capture” page appears, StreamView-LR starts capturing and displaying 640x480 frames at 200-Hz and 5-msec exposure time. User-adjustments are allowed to frame size, frame rate, exposure, and gain on this page only when stopped. -
Page 18: Figure 11 Gain Settings
10µsec-1msec 969-fps StreamView-LR has the option of adjusting the imager gain setting independent of exposure. Gain settings are accessed under the drop-down [Camera->Set Gain] menu item and are limited to +20dβ, +10dβ, and 0dβ. For low-light levels, the “+” dβ levels increase imager gain but at the expense of higher noise. Figure 7 below shows how to access these gain settings. -

(>2-GHz), no frames will be dropped even over several hours of recording. The StreamView-LR software reports the number of dropped frames per recording session but does not indicate where in the recording session the drops occurred. -

After selecting the appropriate exposure time, auto-exposure can be enabled through the window shown below. If enabled, StreamView-LR will evaluate every image as it is captured to determine if the exposure needs to be adjusted in order to keep the image histogram fixed at its current value. Auto-... -

640x480 video at 200-fps. Longer recording times require the host computer to have a disk array. SVSi can provide disk arrays for up to 10-hours of high-resolution high-speed video. Please contact the factory for any custom storage requirements. -

RAM. To stop the recording process, click on the [Stop] button. Video is now preserved in host memory but has not been written to disk yet. StreamView-LR treats the available memory as a rolling buffer so that, even though only 6.5-secs of recording time was selected, you may record for several minutes until [Stop] is hit after which only the last 6.5-secs of video are stored in... -

Figure 18 Selecting destination and recording time for streaming to disk array. Although the destination disk does not have to be a RAID array, SVSi recommends this configuration as the only one that can achieve the sustained write rate required for 640x480 @ 200-fps. We also recommend against installing the operating system on the disk array intended for video recording. -
