13) File / Clip View
It is generally convenient to display recordings in the clip
browser as clips. Clips however are technically created as a
sequence of files. In some situations it is useful to be able to
display clips as a list of files.
The maximum size that of each file in a clip is about 512 MB
which represents a record time of about 1.7 mins / file with a
record rate of 5 MB/s. The record rate depends upon the
resolution of the image, the frame rate and the choice of quality
level. As an example a record rate of 5MB/s is required to record
a 1280 x 1024 image with 30 Hz frame rate and mid level (24:1)
quality setting.
SExample
A 1024 x 768 @ 30Hz image is recorded at mid level quality with
a clip length of 38 minutes. From Table 3-1 above, the maximum
file size at this resolution is about 1.7 minutes in length. The
total number of files created to support this clip will then be
38/1.7 = 23.
To use the clip browser to show files contained within the clips
