Modules & Options

PC Camera Module 7 - 11

Camera Application

The camera application is a video viewer for general purpose video viewing and test-

ing, and for capturing video files to .avi format.

1. Run the camera application from the desktop shortcut (it is recommended that you

set the capture file before the capture process - see Set Capture File below).

2. Go to the Capture menu heading (if you wish to capture audio check “PC Camera

Audio Setup” on page 7 - 9) and select Start Capture.

3. Click OK (the file location will be displayed in the pop-up box) to start capturing the

video, and press Esc to stop the capture (you can view the file using the Windows

Media Player).

Set Capture File

Prior to capturing video files you may select the Set Capture File... option in the

File menu, and set the file name and location before capture (this will help avoid ac-

cidentally overwriting files). Set the name and location then click Open, then set the

“Capture file size:”

and click OK. You can then start the capture process as above.

Note the important information in “Reducing Video File Size” on page 7 - 12 in or-

der to save file space, and help prevent system problems.



Pre-Allocating File

Space

You may pre-allocate the

file size (

File > Allocate

File Space

) for the cap-

ture file in the

camera ap-

plication.

Pre-allocating space on

the hard disk can improve

the capture quality (par-

ticularly of large capture

files), by reducing the

amount of work the hard

disk has to do in finding

space for the video data

as it is being captured.
