Chapter 4 Operations Capturing the Picture of the HD Signal (HD Frame Capture) The frame picture of the 3G/HD-SDI input signal is captured and saved as a picture file in the "Memory Stick". This is used to confirm the color tone and picture angle of the current scene and recorded scene, or as the reference picture to adjust the monitor. To save the captured frame, we recommend using "Memory Stick PRO (High-Speed)" or "Memory Stick PRO Duo (High-Speed)". Notes • Use the controller with software version 1.6 or higher to use the HD Frame Capture function. • The file is saved in TIFF. The file size is a maximum of 13 MB. • The picture file is captured or loaded without deterioration. • The saved file may not be opened due to the PC application used. • The HD Frame Capture function is effective only for the 3G/HD-SDI signal. • The interlace input signal is captured in each frame (first field (F=0) and second field (F=1)). • The frame is not captured in the following cases: - When Side by Side is set to On - When Pixel Zoom is set to on - When the internal signal is displayed - When the input signal has no sync signal - When the captured frame is displayed • The HD Frame Capture function is not available on BKM-15R and BVM-A14F5.
