Viewing Tips for the EVS
Movie/SlideShow:
-
Single Mouse Clicks Only!! Multiple Clicking on
slow connections (28.8 modem) can stall out the internet
connection...system appears hung up.
-
click on the image for the hi-resolution shot, it loads
in a separate window which you can close or leave open
-
press the ">" button to play the images
forward in time. The first time you view them, the images must
load, but then the images are in cache and the images will play quickly
if you choose a small delay
-
use the ">|" and "|<" buttons
to single step forward and backward through the images
-
click on "List" for a listing of all the
images in the slideshow, you jump to any image just by clicking on it
-
choosing a delay of "0" will play the
images as fast as possible like a timelapse movie, forward or backwards
-
In your browser options or preferences, setting your
cache to a large size (100 Megabytes for example) will improve the
performance of the movie/slideshow
Difficulties Using the Movie/SlideShow
-
Use Single Clicks only! Double clicking, for example,
when viewing the List, will load the small image and also start loading the
high res image.
-
Do not use the slide bar if you have a slow internet
connection, it tries to load each image as you slide the bar, waiting for
each image to load and thus can take forever to catch up to the slider
location
-
On slow connections, large image sets will take quite a bit
longer to load. A SlideShow with 2000 images must pre-load a text file
with the list of the images that is about 200K bytes
About the Movie/SlideShow
This Movie/SlideShow is a Java Applet written expressly for EVS.
It was created out of the need to view a sequence of images rapidly, yet retain
the ability to view each shot at high resolution. The images can be played
forward and backwards, with the option of skipping a preset number of images
between each image, in order to facilitate viewing large image sets.
One feature of the EVS Movie/SlideShow is that it can handle over 3000
images. Coupled with the List view, any browser has access to the complete
image set, and any image at any time can be found with just a few clicks of the
mouse.
About the WebCam This WebCam uses the Canon 10
megapixel digital camera for imaging. A Windows XP computer controls
the camera and does automatic and unattended uploading to the Internet. For
