Player settings for selected cameras

Replay mode

With the icon the selected cameras are switched to replay mode. The icon is available when the camera selection contains at least one camera which is in live or in error mode. Replay or live view on all selected players is then paused. It should be borne in mind that all cameras, at this point, are synchronized. Although it is possible that individual cameras show different time stamps, images are shown which were recorded at the same moment in time – as close as possible to the time the command icon was pressed.

The replay mode does not affect recording of video data.

Using the buttons and the slider you can control the replay.

The replay speed after the time jump can be set with the speed slider. The function is only available if the selected cameras are in replay mode.

Note that the replay speed is specified relative to the normal speed. For example, 2x means that the current replay speed is twice the normal speed.

Meaning of the buttons:

		Start/stop replay
		Jump to the previous/next image
		Decrease/increase replay speed
		Jump to the previous/next event

Events always refer to the currently selected replay master camera. Events are:

• The first or last frame received

• The start or end of a protected video sequence

• The start or end of a locked video sequence

Time picker

The time picker allows the user to jump to a particular point in time in the recording. In doing so, all video recordings in the selected camera windows are also reset to this time. To specify the time, you can directly enter the date and time in the time picker entry field.

It is also possible to use a calendar function to specify the point in time. Click the arrow icon to open the calendar dialog .

Note

On the video server, the video stream captured by a camera is stored together with time data. The time stamp is generated by the ibaCapture Server’s clock for all camera types. When a) the ibaCapture Server clock is not set correctly and b) recorded video is viewed in ibaCapture Manager, the recorded video will also be off by the time difference at the time of recording. This does not affect synchronization when viewing recorded video in ibaAnalyzer, but may cause inconsistent behavior when cameras from multiple ibaCapture Servers are opened in a single instance of ibaCapture Manager. In such a case it is recommended to use some kind of clock synchronization mechanism on all ibaCapture Servers, e.g. PTP. (see chapter PTP time synchronization).

Replay master

In replay mode, you can configure a replay master which allows you to replay the video recordings in a time synchronous way. The replay master generates the clock for replaying videos. All other selected cameras will be replayed synchronously. This mechanism also maintains synchronicity when using the "previous image" and "next image" functions. For the replay master, the previous/next image will be shown, while for all other cameras the image closest to the master image will be used. This is especially important when using cameras with different frame rates.

At first, the current replay master will be selected automatically and indicated by the master icon in the camera information bar.

By clicking on the master icon in the menu ribbon, the user can specify the replay master in the drop-down menu.

Optionally, you can configure a camera as replay master. For this purpose, open the context menu in the camera view you want to configure as master with a right mouse-click and select Set this camera as master cam.
