Still Window

Still Window
The Still Window is used to manipulate the still images you captured.


Close Button
Closes the Still Window.

Frame Number
Indicates the number of the still image that is shown in the Still Window.

Time Code
Shows the time code of the captured still image.

Recording Date
Shows the date and time at which the captured still image was recorded.

Clicking and moves the current still image forward and backward, respectively, one frame at a time.

[COPY] Button
Copies the image being displayed to the clipboard.

[SAVE] Button
Saves the image being displayed as a file.
DVgate Still supports BMP, JPEG, GIF, and DVF file types.
The supported picture size is 640 x 480 pixels for BMP, JPEG, and GIF formats.
The image size is 720 x 480 pixels for the DVF format. The reason why a still image saved in the DVF format has more horizontal pixels is that the pixels are taller than those which are saved in any other format.

Hint

What is a DVF format?
The DVF format is a format in which pictures are compressed and saved using the same algorithm as that for digital video recorders employing the DV recording system. You can compress one still image (720 x 480 pixels, 16.77 million colors) into approximately 120K bytes.
