Stills are produced at a rhythm matching the camera's frame rate. For example, cameras
set to capture 10 frames of video per second produces ten bitmap files (*.BMP) per second
(for each open camera). The size of the bitmap files varies with the resolution setting (see
on 108). Stills can also be obtained while viewing a video clip (see
Table 7-4 page
on page 101).

Caution Honeywell recommends that when producing bitmaps for more than a few
seconds, the operator keeps an eye on the PC's hard disk. Bitmap
production can quickly fill up a PC's storage.
Handouts for Users and Non-Users of Rapid Eye
You can distribute stills of video as computer files. They are known as bitmaps in the View
application. These stills can be viewed and printed using any bitmap reading software, such
as: Corel Photo Paint, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, and others.
