Reading Timestamps

(Including Step-By-Step Examples)

Reading the timestamps and applying instrumental delay to your standard integrated camera videos was a process that you probably had to think about when you did it for the first few times but since then it would have become a routine procedure were you don't have to think any more. While AAV videos use the same VTI timestamps they only include one frame per integration period with timestamps from the first and last video field. While this is natural for what AAV is doing it is certainly different from what you AVI file used to do. Because of this before extracting the timestamps is going to become a routine procedure for you, you will again need to think about it the first few times you do it.

The step-by-step examples below have been created to help you get used to the new way of doing this, which is actually very simple. Also Tangra3 has been updated to help you as much as it can during the whole process. Please select the demo from the list below that matches your configuration the most:

  • Extracting times from a KIWI OSD video - This is an integrated AAV video timestamped by KIWI OSD where OccuRec wasn't reading the timestamps on the fly and the only source of time reference is the video field OSD timestamps generated by KIWI OSD and placed by OccuRec in each integrated video frame from the first and last video field in the integration period.
  • Extracting times from an IOTA VTI video - This is an integrated AAV video timestamped by IOTA VTI where OccuRec wasn't reading the timestamps on the fly and the only source of time reference is the video field OSD timestamps generated by IOTA VTI and placed by OccuRec in each integrated video frame from the first and last video field in the integration period.
  • IOTA VTI video with embedded timestamps - This is an integrated AAV video timestamped by IOTA VTI where OccuRec was reading the timestamps on the fly and saving them in the video. This is the easiest case as the user doesn't need to enter reference times when processing the video.
