Video capture overview

You can capture a video of your specimens, as well as record stimuli applied manually or automatically if you own the stimulus controls module.

The video is also referred to as "image sequence" in the workflows.

You can also navigate the video while recording:

  • Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
  • Use the mouse button or the scroll bar to pan.

If you plan on using a laptop running Microsoft Windows to interface with a FireWire camera, contact Technical Services before starting. Most laptops cannot supply power to the camera over the 4-pin IEEE-1394 port. You will need a special cable with a pig-tail power plug connected to an AC/DC supply. Not all laptop FireWire ports will work will all IIDC-compliant cameras.
