Fast 2D Camera Movie Player

For Phantom camera files ("cine" files, with a .cin extension), a popular viewing option is the IDL routine fcplayer.pro.

As you can see from the menues below, there are a variety of image manipulation features available.

Features, such as dust and "blobs" may be tracked , as well.

To show two cameras in sync in FCplayer, load one camera and then select "Create a Master Player" from the Special menu. The cameras do not have to be on the same time base (nearest times are displayed). You may also rotate or set the magnification (by setting the "Minimum Window Width" from the Edit menu) of each camera independently.

QuickTime or MPEG movies can be output from FCplayer:

FCplayer allows you to search for shot files under the File Menu

Several other applications analyze or display Fast Camera data on NSTX. See WhatsNew.html and Accessing_Fast_2D_Camera_Data.html.
