Images are stored in an efficient compressed JPEG format and movie clips in MPEG format. The storage capacity is limited only by the size of the Compact Flash card used and a 1Gb card will store about 30 minutes of video or many thousands of images. Movie clips and images can be uploaded to a PC, via the USB card reader supplied, where clips can be played back under Quicktime for Windows. 

The unit is ideal for applications where portability is required and images need to be stored. ( i.e, house & pest inspections, aviation inspections, surveillance operations, on-site customs inspections along with many others ).

JPEGâs and movie capture device for JPEGâs and movie clips.

PalmScope offers a simple way to capture single video frames or full movie clips to a removable Compact Flash card. It will auto detect a PAL & NTSC, composite & S-Video signals and display them live on the 6.5ä LCD. Freezing the image before saving ensures you store what you need. Images can be saved with auto incrementing file names (date based) or with a user generated file name through the built in menu structure. A full filename editor is provided. 

Image files are stored in compressed JPEG format at a compression ratio of approximately 5:1. Pressing the 'Record' button starts the movie capture process which stops when 'Record' is pressed again. The recording time is limited only by the size of the Compact Flash card. A 1GB card will store about 30 minutes of video or many thousands of still images. Movie clips are saved in .MOV format as MPEG files which can be replayed either on the PalmScope or uploaded to a PC for playback on Quicktime for Windows. 

The thumbnail gallery displays icons for both JPEGâs and movie clips. Selecting an icon either displays the full-size image or plays the movie clip automatically. Images can be uploaded to a PC using the USB card reader supplied. System parameters are accessible via simple to use on-screen menus. The on-board battery gives 2-3 hours of continuous operation.

Weighing only 1200 gm the video PalmScopeú is a truly portable solution that can record and store video sequences up to 1 hour in length at VCR quality on a 1Gb CompactFlashú card.  Used in conjunction with industrial endoscope or borescope applications including inspection of underground pipes, aero-engines, storage tanks, valves, vents and nozzles will benefit from this powerful new product.  The video PalmScopeú is truly a convenient and compact alternative to VCR's for onsite inspection applications.

Tested and approved to CE and FCC regulations the video PalmScopeú has been designed for convenient handheld operations using images derived from any video source (PAL or NTSC).  The video PalmScopeú offers a choice of language for all on-screen display operations in English, French, German and Italian.

Operating in video capture mode the movie clips (motion JPEG's or MJPEG's) are stored on the video PalmScopeú as .mov files that can be played back on a Quicktime player under Windows.  During recording or playback a video sequence can be paused and stopped at will.

Incorporating a 6.4 inch (16 cm) TFT LCD screen the video PalmScopeú is also capable of displaying and freezing high quality (512 x 768 resolution), full frame resolution jpeg images on screen at the touch of a single button. With 1 Gb storage capacity the video PalmScopeú can store thousands of compressed images on its removable CompactFlashú card. 

Operating the video PalmScopeú is simple even for untrained operators. Only seven front panel buttons provide intuitive control of video or image viewing, freezing, storing, file name editing and review by means of a gallery of video icons and thumbnail images. Transferring captured video clips or images to a PC for more in-depth analysis is both rapid and simple using the video PalmScope`sú flashcard reader. Data transfer through its USB serial link or parallel interface allows video clips and images to be rapidly uploaded.  Power for the video PalmScopeú is supplied from an on-board Ni-Mh battery pack and smart charger powered from an external power supply unit.  For applications requiring remote operation the video PalmScopeú also has facility for IR remote control.
