Time-synchronous recording and analysis of videos and process data-4

Synchronous data recording with ibaPDA ibaCapture Server records video and provides synchronization data over a network connection for use in ibaPDA. Together with acquiring process data, ibaPDA continuously receives this synchronization data and stores it into the measurement files. This way a temporal relation between signal values and video data can be ensured. For analyzing and viewing recorded video in ibaAnalyzer, network access to the ibaCapture Server is required. Topology Multiple ibaCapture Servers can be installed in a network. It is possible to access an ibaCapture Server from multiple...

RTSP-Server The integrated RTSP server allows video to be streamed from the ibaCapture Server to third-party video players. This way you can watch live video as well as saved recordings, for example with the VLC Media Player. Scenario Player in ibaQPanel It is easy to lose track when moni toring multiple displays. With the Scenario Player feature in ibaQPanel it is therefore possible to set up signal based triggers. This allows selecting predefined camera layouts based on the current state of the process. For example, if an emergency stop is triggered in a certain area of the plant, the display...
