5.4.4 Other Media Players

There are several free video players available for download on the internet. These video players allow some advanced features that Windows Media Player may not have. Such as playing several videos at the same time to compare them, and the facility to play multiple video formats. You can find these by doing an internet

Search on “Video Players” or “AVI Video Players”.

A few of the more popular players are:

• The KM Player http://www.kmpmedia.net/

• VLC Player http://www.videolan.org/

• DivX Player http://www.divx.com/

Note: Vivax-Metrotech does not provide technical support for any of these players or Windows Media Player.

5.5 Text Writer (Tilter)

The Text Writer feature allows the operator to add descriptive text that is recorded over videos and shown on snapshots. This descriptive text is usually shown at the start of an inspection and at the end. It can also be shown and recorded at certain points along the video where needed. The control module allows for 20 pages of 8 lines with 24 characters per line to be saved in memory and later recalled for use.

NOTE

Note that if the text writer’s text is shown on the control module screen it will be recorded and also show up in snapshot pictures.

NOTE

Note that only the ESC, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 and F8 keys are related to using the Text

Writer feature.
