record video from Camera link

[Bublina]

Hello,

a very simple question.

I am curious about Camera link framegrabbers. Once the camera is connected and it spawns crazy amount of pictures, the framegrabber grabs them and how can I save these?

I was checking some whitepapers, that suggested Camera link is great, because framegrabbers directly access disk through DMA, but I cannot find any VIs, that would configure any file output at all (except standard AVI files).

So, how does it work ? Is there a possibility, that the framegrabber generates some raw video file on the disk?

Hi Bublina,

you can save raw video using the same VIs that save to AVI. You just specify proper codec, that can be saving without compression. To check what codecs you have, use the "IMAQ AVI2 Get Codec Names" VI (it is valid for the newest SW version - more information can be found here - https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/21/avi-codec-support-with-avi2-in-ni-vision...

Best regards,
