Capturing AVIs
The functions of the
uc480_tools.dll
enable you to save images captured with the
DCx camera
as
sequences to an AVI file. In order to reduce the file size, the single frames are stored in the AVI
container using an adjustable JPEG compression. It is possible to extract single frames from the
AVI file.
AVI Capture Workflow

DCx camera
AVI interface.
Terminates and closes the
DCx camera
AVI interface.

The following settings should also be done prior to starting the recording.

Once the AVI file has been created, captured images are placed in a buffer. Then, the images are

performed in the same thread as the capturing process. If you capture more images while a
compression or write operation is in progress, the new images will be discarded.
