For any application in which sequences of still images or video clips need to be captured and stored from a video source either on site or in a laboratory environment
PalmScope from Moritex is a video capture device that provides a versatile handheld alternative to a VCR or computer based video capture system.
Tested and approved to CE and FCC regulations, the PalmScope is said to be ideal for any application in which sequences of still images or video clips need to be captured and stored from a video source either on site or in a laboratory environment.
Typical applications include pipe inspection, routine maintenance and quality control, inspection and faultfinding, forensic analysis, security and medical diagnosis. PalmScope is a unique product that captures still images or video clips onto a removable CompactFlash card.
It is compatible with both Pal and NTSC, composite or S-video (optional) signals.
A built-in 16.5cm TFT LCD display allows preview of the video before saving it to the memory card.
Video clips are captured at full NTSC or Pal resolution, at 30 or 25 frames per second respectively, and stored in Motion-Jpeg (MJpeg) compressed format, allowing approximately three minutes of video to be stored on a 128MB CompactFlash card.
Still images are stored in a compressed Jpeg format, and over 1000 images can be stored on a 128MB CompactFlash card.
Storage capacity is limited only by the size of the CompactFlash card used, a 2GB card will hold many thousands of images or approximately 80 minutes of video. PalmScope has been designed for ease-of-use and convenience. Captured images and video clips are automatically named with the date and a sequence label.
Images can be organised with an overlay of up to ten lines of text using an optional standard PC keyboard.
The PalmScope includes a convenient thumbnail gallery feature with cataloguing functions to help in archiving and retrieving images.
PalmScope includes a range of cataloguing functions help in archiving and retrieving them, including the ability to rename, delete and move or copy images between folders.
An individual image may be selected for full size viewing.
Alternatively images can be easily transferred to a PC where they can be displayed or processed by any suitable image editing software.
PalmScope is simple to operate, using intuitive onscreen displays, and the keypad can be operated even when wearing gloves or protective clothing.
For convenience the PalmScope can be switched for either left- or right-handed use and offers a choice of language for all on-screen display operations in English, French, German and Italian.
