"Capture image" operation

"Capture image" operation can be used to capture images from the panes.

Images can be captured when Breeze browser window is in the "View" mode, as well as when it is in the "Play" mode. In the "Play" mode images can be captured in real time during play back. During direct "Playing" images are captured from the input streams. During "Replaying" images are captured from the frame cash buffers.

"Capture image" operation is initiated by the clicking button "Get" in the controller panel of a browser window . There two "Get" buttons in the controller panel; upper one is associated with the primary channel, and lower one is associated with the assistant channel.

When button "Get" is clicked, image from the main video output port of the channel is saved to the auxiliary "pocket" video output port of the channel.

Image from the "pocket" video port can also be instantly saved to the file / files on the disk, if "Get and save image instantly" check box associated with the selected channel is checked. If this check box is unchecked then captured image is just saved to the "pocket video" port. Captured image kept in the "pocket" video port can any time be saved to the file by clicking button "Save". There two "Save" buttons in the controller panel; upper one is associated with the primary channel, and lower one is associated with the assistant channel.

Table below shows main and "pocket" video ports associated with the primary and assistant channels.

Channel Main video output port No. "Pocket" video output port No.
Primary 1 2
Assistant 3 4

If each captured image is saved to the separate file then names of files are sequentially numbered and ordered by the Breeze. Title of the saved file name includes prefix, digital root and suffix. Digital root is a fixed length text consisting of the decimal digit characters. Root is made by the converting an order number of the captured frame into text. During mass "Capture image" operations prefix and suffix are constant for all saved files, but digital root is changing according to the order number of the captured image.

There are two main panels in "Capture image" dialog, upper panel and lower panel. Upper panel is associated with the primary channel, and lower panel is associated with the assistant channel.

Options dialog "Capture image" is used for enabling / disabling and setting parameters of "Capture image from the channel" operations.
