Chapter 7 – Using Still Image
Buffers
Introduction
The MVPHD-24 has four FLASH Still Image buffers available for use as input sources. The contents of these Still
Image buffers are stored in non-volatile FLASH memory and retained even when power is removed from the unit.
Still Images
The Still Image buffers can hold full-frame full-color images up to 1080p resolution. These images can be captured
from the output image of the MVPHD-24, or loaded from the SD/MMC Card.
Still Image Names
The Still Image name that appears in the Input Select menu for Buffers1-4, is either specified when capturing the
output image of the MVPHD-24, or is based on the image’s filename when loaded from the SD/MMC Card.
Capturing Still Images
The output image of the MVPHD-24 can be captured and saved to a Still Image Buffer. This allows the operator to
use any input as the source material. The MVPHD-24 uses a high performance scaler when converting from the
input’s format, to the output’s format. The operator should keep this in mind when capturing the output image. The
resolution of the captured image will be determined by the MVPHD-24’s Output Format setting. For best quality,
it is recommended that the Output Format is either set to the same resolution as the input source, or that it is set to the
maximum resolution of 1080p.
To access Still Image Buffer menus, press the STILLS button. This will open the Still Image Buffer control menus.
Pressing NEXT or PREV (previous) will step through the control menus.
Menu:
Capture Output to Buffer # ?:
This menu is used to capture an image from the MVPHD-24’s output, and store it into the
selected Still Image buffer. A suggested name for the image is provided, which can be edited.
Use the Knob (rotate) to select the desired Still Image Buffer (1 – 4).
Once selected, use the + or – buttons to move the cursor within the image name.
Use the Knob (rotate) to change the character where the cursor is located.
Hint: pushing on the knob will jump the selected character to either ‘A’, ‘a’, ’_’, or ‘0’.
Press both + and – together to capture the output image and save it to the selected
Still Image buffer with the suggested or edited name.
