The Captioner object is a child object of the Camera system object. It is used to configure captions display on a video recording and maintain captions database.

Attention!

If the incoming packets are sent to the POS terminal in the UTF-8 code, set the 1 value for the DecodeUtf8 registry key for the correct display of captions (for details, see Registry keys reference guide, for more information about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).

To configure the Captioner object, do the following:

  1. Go to the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box.

  2. Create the Captioner object on the basis of the Camera object.

  3. Specify the parameters of the captions output window (1):
    1. Set coordinates of the upper left corner of the captions output window: X (horizontal indent from left border of screen) and Y (vertical indent from top border of screen) fields.  
    2. Set measurement of the captions output window: W (width of the captions output window) and H (height of the captions output window) fields. 
  4. Specify the parameters of font used for captions output:
    1. Click the button (2).
    2. In the appeared Windows dialog box, specify font parameters and click the OK button.
    3. Double left-click the Color field (3)
    4.  In the appeared Windows dialog box, select color and click the OK button.
  5. Specify the parameters for words highlighting (4):
    1. Right-click the Highlight words field and select Add in the appeared context menu. 
    2. In the appeared dialog box, enter a required word and click the OK button. The word is added to the Highlight words table.
    3. Specify the color with which the word will be highlighted by double left-clicking the Color field next to the specified word. In the appeared Windows dialog box, select color and click the OK button.
    4. If the full string with a word should be highlighted, then set the Full string checkbox.
    5. If word characters should be matched, then set the Match case checkbox.

    6. Repeat steps 5.1-5.5 for all required words.

      Note

      Use the context menu for operations with words in the table (right-click a word). If the table is to be cleared, then click the Clear button.

  6. Specify the maximum number of days as the difference between the newest and the oldest entry in the captions database for the given captioner in the Captions archive size__days field (5). Entries which were added earlier than the specified number of days before the most recent entry will be automatically deleted "in a loop". If the 0 value is specified, the entries will not be deleted "in a loop".

    Example

    For example, the captions archive size is 1 day. On Friday, the captions from the Captioner 1 were added to the captions database. On Saturday and Sunday the camera was turned off, and the captions were not recorded. On Monday the camera was turned on, and the captions from the Captioner 1 from Friday remained in the captions database until the new record was added to the captions database of the Captioner 1. In 3 minutes after the new record was made on Monday, the captions from Friday were deleted.

  7. Click the Apply button (6).

The Captioner object is now configured.
