Polybench® for biosignals / reference 1.34.1
Allows to review a stored video stream

Video Reviewer

Overview

The Video Reviewer is used to view recorded videos only. A stored video stream that is connected to the viewer can browsed using the scrollbar below the image.

Operator ports

Input video In: Specific sample type, see below.

Paired User Interface Object

This operator is loaded simultaneously with a user interface object. The user interface object can be moved to another page, and would normally be displayed in the end-user application. The operator and this user interface object can never be separated. If you delete the operator, the user interface is deleted automatically as well. Note that you cannot delete the user interface, only the operator symbol!

Details

Limitations

Note that the same video can only be shown once on screen. If you would connect two Video Reviewers to the same video source (which is also allowed for signal viewers), then only one of both will show the video.
However, if both viewers are put on different pages, then on both pages the video will show. So, as long as you do not want to see the same video twice on screen, you can connect as many video viewers to a video source as you want.

Note that it is possible to show two different video sources simultaneously on one screen.

User Interface Object on Printable Pages

The user interface of this component will be printed on a report, if it is put on a Printable Page (see "Page").

Behaviour in relation to the data cursor in reviewed data

This object reacts on a change of the central Data Cursor of a group of synchronized objects. This means that if this object has the same SyncID as the object that changes the Data Cursor, then this object will change its state accordingly. For more information see also: "Data Cursor and the use of SyncID".
