Chapters

The VIDEO SYNOPSIS® is automatically broken down into chapters. When filters are applied, reducing the number of detected objects, the breakdown into chapters will automatically be altered, accordingly.

To close the video either click the X at the top right of the screen or press the Esc key.

Note that objects are played back in non-chronological order to optimize viewing time. Click individual objects to gain access to additional controls that enable you to play back an object’s original video or add it to a case report.

Note that BriefCam's adaptive streaming technology, based on HLS, automatically selects one of two resolution levels (according to available bandwidth) to enable optimal streaming video viewing.

When running or exporting a VIDEO SYNOPSIS®, 4K videos are rendered in half of the resolution for increased performance. The original video of a 4K video is rendered and exported in full size.
