TRANSFER DATA

The full image can be captured and transferred in two different formats.

Picture Data Format

● JPEG (9. jpg)

•

This is the default setting. If you do not set Picture Format, image data is captured in this
format.

•

JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group) is a leading standard defining the compression and
decompression of still color pictures.

•

The size of transferred image is smaller because the images are compressed. This results in a
shorter transfer time.

● Bitmap (9. bmp)

•

Transfer time is longer when you use this format because there is no data compression. The
benefit is that picture quality is maintained with no deterioration.

•

Bitmap is a data format representing characters and graphics with combinations of pixels.
Full image resolution is 640 x 480 pixels with 16.77 million colors (24-bit color).
Index image resolution is 80 x 60 pixels with 16.77 million colors (24-bit color).

Capture Mode

● Frame Picture

•

This is the default setting. If you do not set Picture Format, images are captured in this

mode.

•

Since a frame consists of two overlapping 1/60 sec. images (one 1/30 sec. image forms a

field), it is unstable when capturing fast-moving motion pictures.

● Field Picture

•

While a field contains only half the data of a frame — meaning that vertical resolution is

half that of a frame — images captured from a fast-moving motion picture are more stable

than when captured with "Frame Picture".

COUNTER VALUE CHANGE

If you want to replace a captured image with a different one, you can capture the new one by
changing the counter value.

ADDITIONAL OPERATIONS

Cannot capture video data
with the desired counter
number.

Counter cannot be reset.

Program capture suddenly
stops.

After finishing video
capture, the video file
remains in the JCPT folder
(where the program run file
is contained).

JLIP initialization not
possible.

With Video capture/
Transfer done in Automatic
Transfer mode, the captured
image looks like two
pictures laid one upon
another.

v There may be a slight difference between

the counter of the video image that you
want to capture and the Index image data/
Full image data captured in the computer.
This is not a malfunction.

v Counter reset is not available with digital

camcorders.

v When you start program capture at the

beginning of the tape, the video unit stops
playback, ending program capture.
Start video capture about 20 seconds after
the point where the recording begins.

v If you want to erase the file because of

limited hard disk space, start the program
once then close it. The video remaining in
the JCPT folder will be cleared.

v Make sure that the IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest)

is not being used by another device.

v COM port selection is wrong. Confirm the

COM port number and execute JLIP
initialization again.

v In this case, video capture is not possible

using the "Frame Picture" setting. Change
the setting to "Field Picture" and try video
capture again.

Cause

The monitor displays of the application software illustrated in this manual may differ from
those you are actually viewing depending on the operating environment of your computer.

Operation will be significantly slower when used in an environment other than that recom­mended (page 14).
While basic VCR operations such as playback and fast-forward are available, a "transmis­sion error" may occur in some models during video transfer. In this case, start the software
again, and turn the power of the Video Capture Docking Station off and on.
