Video camera MINTRON 12V1C-EX
EXTA measurement setup for analog video camera MINTRON 12V1C-EX
The source for the time stamps in the video images was the IOTA-VTI which was synchronized to UTC. The digitizer used was a DFG/USB2-lt Videograbber device from The Imaging Source. The videograbber was connected via USB2.0 to a notebook running with a Windows XP32 system. The capture software was VirtualDub. The CCIR video file was recorded uncompressed and lossless in Y800 format and in container format AVI direct to the notebook harddisk.
