THUMBNAIL VIDEO SEARCH
Thumbnail search allows users to visually search video that has been recorded over a 24-hour period. Video is presented as a series of thumbnail
images. Each thumbnail represents the first image recorded during a specified period of time. Thumbnails can be expanded and collapsed to
represent hourly, 10-minute, and 1-minute intervals.
The DX8100 allows sharing of time range search settings between the Thumbnail and Pixel search mode. In this case, if you initiate a Thumbnail
search, you can select a preview clip and initiate a Pixel search. The Pixel search mode is based on the same time criteria as the preview
Thumbnail clip.
