You have various options for exporting video data. You can use the File – Export menu and create a new iba data file (extension .dat). You can also export the video file via the context menu in the video window.

Export of an iba data file with video data

When exporting a DAT file, you can export the videos as part of the data file or as a separate video file. The relevant video sequences for the part of the data file you are exporting are compressed and saved in the new data file.

Continuous and triggered video recordings can be exported together in one data file.

Open the export dialog via the File – Export menu.

You can choose between three export modes.

  • None No video data is exported.

  • As part of .dat file ibaCapture videos can be exported as part of a new data file. All videos selected in the signal tree are exported. You can then play back the exported data file independently of the ibaCapture server.

  • As separate video files ibaCapture videos are exported as separate MP4 files to the same directory as the data files. Although two separate files are generated, the generated data file also calls up the associated video file. The suffix "_nn" in the file name indicates the individual parts.

Export of video files or still images

If you want to export a video sequence or single images without the measurement data, you can use the export commands in the context menu of the video window.

Export to video file

This command exports a video file corresponding to the complete time range of the data file. Enter the path and file name. The output format is MPEG-4 (.mp4).

Export range between markers to video file

To export only certain parts of the video rather than all of it, first set the markers in the recorder window to the relevant time range. Then use this command. This also reduces the size of the exported video file.

Export frame to image file

This command creates a snapshot of the current image – including during playback.

For a more precise selection, you are recommended to navigate to the desired position with the X1 marker and adjust the exact position with the buttons .

Enter the path and file name. Select the output format (BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF or PNG).
