28.3.1 Procedure - Recording Video/Saving a Movie File to the CF Card

The following explains how to save a play list to a CF card.

1. From the [Project] menu, point to [System Settings], and click [Video/Movie].

2. For the [Video Input], select [NTSC]. Under [Record Size], select [QVGA(384kbps)].
   

3. Click the [Save to CF/USB] tab and select the [Save to CF/USB] check box. From [Save in], select [CF].
   

4. Specify the [File Size] and [Number of Files] to be saved.
   

   

   • Any pictures that exceed the specified file size are automatically saved in the next file. The file uses the name based on the timestamp (year, month, date, hours, minutes, seconds) when the file is created.

5. In the [User Set String] area, select [Direct] and enter two single-byte characters (for example, MC). This string is the folder name and the first two characters of the file name for the saved movie.
   

   

   • The movie is saved under a file name consisting of the user set string (two characters) + time stamp (saves the starting year, month, day, hour, minute, second) and file extension (.SDX).
     (For example, if a folder and file are saved at 15:23'46" on May 27, 2006, the file name will be "MC060527_152346.SDX".)

   • If [Indirect] is selected, you must store the user set string with PLC before saving to the CF card. To specify the number indirectly, use three Words from the specified address.

   • If you do not specify a string in the [User Specified String] field, the folder is named "NONAME".

6. In [Control Word Address], specify a Word address to indicate when to start saving.

Settings for saving movies to a CF card have been successfully completed.
