Start-Up and Operation
The following options are available:
720p60:
HD resolution, 1280x720, 60 Hz
1080p30:
Full HD resolution, 1920x1080, 30 Hz
A default resolution of 720p60 has been set.
Please observe the following: Prior to conversion to the full HD resolution (1080p30), check that
the monitor supports this option. If 1080p30 has already been activated and the monitor displays
no image, please follow the instructions as described in section 4.4 on page 52.
The live image and video recordings are influenced by this setting. The following settings are
possible:
FPS:HALF BR:HIGH:
Half frame rate, high data rate (8 Mbit / s)
FPS:HALF BR:MID:
Half frame rate, medium data rate (4 Mbit / s)
FPS:HALF BR: LOW:
Half frame rate, low data rate (2 Mbit / s)
FPS:FULL BR:HIGH:
Full frame rate, high data rate (8 Mbit / s)
FPS:FULL BR:MID:
Full frame rate, high data rate (4 Mbit / s)
FPS:FULL BR:LOW:
Full frame rate, low data rate (2 Mbit / s)
Half frame rate results in improved image quality with the same data rate.
Value range: 0 to 3.
Edge flickering may occur in some HDMI monitors with a default value of 3, but this will
disappear with lower values.
The snapshot resolution for exposures to the SD card can be defined here.
The following modes can be set:
as monitor on the HDMI port:
- 1920x1080 (16:9 side ratio), when the camera is in 1080p mode
(see default settings)
- 1280x720 (16:9 side ratio), when the camera is in 720p mode
(see default settings)
Advantages: Snap lasts < 1 second, small file sizes due to comparatively low
resolution
5 MP:
- 2560x1920 (4:3 side ratio) – full sensor resolution, 5 megapixels
Advantages: full resolution, wider vertical image field
2560x1440
- 2560x1440 (16:9 side ratio)
Advantages: high resolution (3.7 megapixels), same image field as in live image
This setting is useful when images are to be captured using the snap button on the tube. Because
pressing the button causes the microscope to shake, motion blur would be visible in the image
with immediate exposure. This effect is eliminated by snapshot delay.
The snapshot delay can be set between 0 and 10 seconds.
