The Fitting Tool for Digital High-Speed Videos:
Control Cameras, Optimize Sequence Pictures, Create AVIs
and View AVIs Synchronized with Measured Data

Main features:
  • Control high-speed cameras and download images with ImagerControl Basic
    (AOS, NAC, Photo-Sonics, Photron, Redlake und Weinberger)
  • Optimize sequence pictures (white balance, gamma, contrast, sharpening, saturation...)
  • >Create and compress AVI files (multi AVIs with one mouse click!)
  • Insert texts, time values and own logos in AVIs
  • Playback AVIs in extensive modes (selectable size and speed, continuous replay or control via slider…)
  • >Get an overview by a film strip and copy pictures or diagrams into the clipboard
  • Display measurement channels in flexible diagrams
  • Synchronize AVI files and measurement graphs via master panel
  • Convert AVIs or single images into different file formats applying post-processing
  • PictureView: Viewer for picture series and videos incl. navigation tree, thumbnails, print templates and file format conversion
  • Movie steadiness control = anti-shake (MovXact is needed)

The FalCon QuickView module provides both quick creation of image sequence files as well as convenient viewing with the use of a sequence and measurement data viewer. It also supports Ethernet control of high-speed video cameras: set-up and identification of cameras, mode control and rapid download of picture data via Ethernet and FireWire.

Digital sequence pictures can be prepared and improved to create a "Video for Windows" file (AVI) from them. FalCon QuickView’s batch capability makes automatic processing possible.

Different picture file formats (especially of high-speed video cameras) are supported. Pictures can be processed in terms of white balance, gamma, brightness and contrast, color matrix, sharpness and color depth. 

Titles and logos created with a graphics program as well as texts and time values can be inserted. AVI files are created (on request) uncompressed and thus without any loss in the individual images.

The files can then be compressed so that the AVI files can be played back more rapidly and also to save storage space. Since the program uses the "Video for Windows" interface of MS Windows, all supported (and installed) compression codecs and hardware accelerators can be used.

A viewer for AVI files (Master Panel) makes it possible to watch several videos simultaneously. The replay speed and size of the picture can be changed as well. Functions for single-step, positioning, autorepeat and section playback are also available.

It is also possible to represent measurement data as time diagrams. As soon as an AVI file is played back with the aid of the Master Panel, a cursor follows the measurement values synchronously in the time diagram. When this marker is moved interactively, the AVI files are also automatically positioned to the corresponding picture.

The current program version contains a viewer of ISO MME measurement data!

File formats:
  • Sequence pictures: rawimage data Redlake BAY/TP2, Weinberger BLD/SPV10/VIS, Photo-Sonics CIN, NAC MCF und RAW as well as standard file formats BMP, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, EMF/WMF
