User Manual ISUCutterFS
This application is an optional module that provides a Video Replay feature in the Scoring system. This application processes the video signal of a DV camera and saves the complete performance of a Skater. Supported by the Caller, the operator sets the Trim In / Trim Out marks for the individual elements. These marks are then sent to the Judges terminals.
This application provides an easy to handle option to review and replay the performance elements. Trim In and Trim Out marks can be modified, replaced and deleted as desired.
System Requirements
2.1 Hardware Requirements
- Pentium III (1 GHz) or better, AMD processor 1 GHz), Pentium-M processor 1.4 GHz or better, AMD-M processor
- Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or higher
- 256 MB RAM or more
- VGA 1024×768 - DirectX9 installed
- 20 GB Hard Drive or more - split, i.e. 8GB for the system, 12GB (NTFS formatted video)
- at least 1 GB free hard disk space for 5min video capture
- 100 Mbit Network Connection
- Fire wire (onboard or via PCMCIA card)
We have tested systems with Transmeta processor. These systems had problems displaying the video correctly without dropped frames.
For the capturing of the video signal, we recommend at least a consumer DV camera with a video out. However, we rather recommend a semi professional or professional camera with a monitor on the camera to easily follow the competitor. In addition, it is necessary to split the video signal of the camera, because at least the cutter and the caller are working with a video signal. Furthermore, devices are needed to convert the video signal to a Fire wire signal.
We recommend using a separate NTFS formatted partition for the video capturing, as the required DirectX9 is not supported by Windows 95 or NT. The system is not tested on Windows 98. We recommend using Windows 2000 or higher. Although the cutting and caller application can be controlled with keyboard, we recommend using a mouse and a big screen.
2.2 Recommended Hardware
Notebook or PC with a Pentium IV or Pentium-M or AMD processor Our tests with the Transmeta processor showed, that the performance is insufficient to support video replay.
The system is tested on Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. The program is optimized to work at a resolution of 1024×768 pixels. The buttons are specifically made to support touch screens. For the cutting application as well as for the caller, we recommend using notebooks with a big screen instead of touch screens. It is easier, faster and more reliable to hit the buttons with the mouse. In most cases, screen size of touch screens is only approx. 10 to 12″ instead of 14-15″ of a normal notebook screen or 17″ for a normal desktop monitor.
