CC5MPX Digital Camera

x Resolution/Compression
Currently there are 2 options for the video capture format. Both options
encode the video using MPEG4. The options are 1280 x 720 (720P) or
320 x 240.
x Frame Rate
There are 3 frame rate options of 30, 15, and 7.5 frames per second (FPS).
Lower frame rates can reduce the file sizes.
The video resolution and frame rate are the 2 factors that determine the file size for
video files. Table 7-3 shows the approximate file size for every second of recorded
video. According to the table, the largest file sizes are produced by the 720P 30FPS
video, which is 500Kbytes per second of video. The smallest video files are
produced by the 320 x 240 7.5 FPS video which is 9 Kbytes per second of video.

7.6.1 GPS Coordinates
GPS coordinates (CC5MPXGPSLatitude and CC5MPXGPSLongitude) can be
embedded in the image or video files that the camera generates. 2 PakBus variables
allow the logger to send the GPS coordinates to the camera, where they are
embedded in the images or video.
The GPS coordinates must be sent as floating point values. Positive latitude and
longitude represent northern and eastern hemispheres, respectively. While negative
values represent southern and western hemispheres, respectively. Values are not
saved through a power cycle, or in off-mode, but do not need to be updated every
time an image or video is sent.
7.6.1.1 Example Program – Adding GPS Coordinates to the Image Banner
The following example illustrates the use of the CC5MPXGPSLatitude and
CC5MPXGPSLongitude instructions, which can be used with CR800 series,
CR1000, or CR3000 dataloggers.
