When	
  the	
  POV.HD	
  begins	
  recording	
  using	
  the	
  Loop	
  Record	
  Method,	
  it	
  gets	
  the	
  Loop	
  Record	
  Time–30	
  seconds	
  
in	
  this	
  example–and	
  begins	
  recording	
  a	
  segment	
  of	
  that	
  length.	
  When	
  that	
  segment	
  is	
  complete,	
  it	
  is	
  saved	
  
temporarily,	
  and	
  another	
  segment	
  is	
  started.	
  The	
  drawings	
  show	
  the	
  time	
  line	
  divided	
  into	
  30	
  second	
  chunks	
  
which	
  correspond	
  to	
  the	
  recorded	
  segments	
  for	
  this	
  example.	
  
When	
  you	
  press	
  Tag	
  to	
  save	
  a	
  loop,	
  the	
  POV.HD	
  saves	
  the	
  entire	
  segment	
  you’re	
  in	
  right	
  now	
  plus	
  the	
  segment	
  
that	
  immediately	
  precedes	
  it	
  and	
  the	
  segment	
  that	
  follows	
  it.	
  This	
  means	
  that	
  if	
  you	
  press	
  tag	
  just	
  after	
  
something	
  exciting	
  happens,	
  you	
  will	
  capture	
  what	
  happened	
  immediately	
  before	
  the	
  tag.	
  When	
  using	
  the	
  
Loop	
  Record	
  Method,	
  you	
  don’t	
  need	
  to	
  anticipate	
  what’s	
  going	
  to	
  happen	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  catch	
  everything.	
  Loop	
  
lets	
  you	
  catch	
  things	
  after	
  the	
  fact.	
  Because	
  the	
  Loop	
  Record	
  Method	
  also	
  saves	
  the	
  segment	
  immediately	
  
following	
  the	
  current	
  segment,	
  if	
  you	
  hit	
  tag	
  near	
  the	
  end	
  of	
  the	
  current	
  clip	
  you	
  will	
  still	
  get	
  one	
  entire	
  
segment	
  following	
  your	
  pressing	
  TAG.	
  
NOTE:	
  Each	
  time	
  you	
  press	
  TAG,	
  the	
  POV.HD	
  saves	
  four	
  separate	
  clips.	
  One	
  for	
  the	
  segment	
  preceding	
  the	
  
current	
  segment,	
  one	
  for	
  the	
  current	
  segment,	
  one	
  for	
  the	
  segment	
  following	
  the	
  current	
  segment,	
  and	
  an	
  
XML	
  file	
  for	
  the	
  tag	
  which	
  created	
  the	
  clips.	
  Each	
  of	
  these	
  is	
  stored	
  as	
  a	
  regular	
  clip	
  file.	
  The	
  figure	
  below	
  
shows	
  the	
  nine	
  clip	
  files	
  that	
  result	
  from	
  the	
  example	
  above.	
  Also	
  note	
  that	
  there	
  are	
  no	
  entries	
  in	
  the	
  ‘tags’	
  
directory.	
  
Loop	
  &	
  Forward	
  is	
  a	
  combination	
  of	
  the	
  Loop	
  and	
  Clip	
  methods.	
  When	
  you	
  start	
  recording	
  video	
  is	
  captured,	
  
but	
  none	
  of	
  it	
  is	
  saved	
  until	
  the	
  first	
  time	
  you	
  press	
  Tag.	
  At	
  that	
  point,	
  the	
  POV.HD	
  saves	
  a	
  loop	
  just	
  as	
  it	
  would	
  
in	
  Loop,	
  but	
  from	
  that	
  point	
  forward,	
  all	
  video	
  is	
  saved,	
  as	
  it	
  would	
  be	
  when	
  using	
  Clip.	
  
Once	
  you	
  have	
  pressed	
  Tag	
  to	
  start	
  saving	
  captured	
  video,	
  pressing	
  Tag	
  again	
  adds	
  a	
  tag	
  to	
  the	
  clip,	
  again	
  as	
  it	
  
would	
  if	
  you	
  were	
  using	
  clip.
