This option allows the images contained in a sequence of buffers to be recorded on video tape. The duration on the video tape of each buffer may be as short as two fields (one complete frame), or any multiple there of. At present an upper limit of 1s has been imposed.
To make use of this facility, the video output signal from the frame grabber must be connected to the VTR in some manner. A monochrome signal may be obtained by directly connecting any one of the three RGB leads. To produce high quality colour output, a RGB to Y/C (SVHS), RGB to PAL or RGB to NTSC encoder should be used. In the absence of such an encoder when a colour "film" is required, a colour video camera may be used to record the image on the frame grabber's monitor, but this will yield lower resolution and poorer colours.
Note that the final buffer will be recorded for four more fields than specified by this entry. This is essential as with each successive record operation overlaps the previous one by four fields and so erases the contents of those fields.
