Time Lapse Clients

Erdman Video Systems was one of the first companies to bring live, up to the minute, time lapse photos to the web. All types of time-lapse projects can benefit from our camera systems. Our systems have been used for watching sculptures being carved, scale model production, television production, movie sets, and construction projects. Explore more how our Nano Biscuit system can bring your project to fruition.

Long Term Reliability	High Definition	Production Quality

There are a number of features that we designed into our software that benefit time lapse production:

Canon SLR Support: Our systems support all the latest Canon SLR digital cameras for the highest quality imaging possible. We give you the choice to purchase from us or to integrate your own camera. Call for the full list of supported SLRs

Automatic HDR Image Creation: Our newly created HDR feature allows for automatic HRD image creation. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. It is a technique used to create an image that has a high dynamic range of exposure which allows for a more accurate representation of the image.

Fail-safe Watchdog Firmware: Our special watchdog firmware will watch for system failure and reboot the machine. This ensures fail-safe operation for mission critical projects.

High Resolution Time Lapse Creation(.wmv): Time-lapse videos can be made automatically through software. The resolution, interval, and FPS are all settable parameters.

Flash Slideshow: The flash based web slideshow comes free with every system and can easily integrate onto your website. It features smooth image playback, calendar based archives, and thumbnail previews. It can even be rebranded with your company logo.

Redundant Picture Archiving: Our software archives all the pictures locally with settable restrictions on archive size. We can also archive across your network or to any ftp site.

Continuous Shooting to Disk: A disadvantage of shooting to media card is that you have to stop shooting every so often and download the images to the computer for archiving. This can take from 4-15 seconds per image, so if you shoot 300 shots over 20 minutes, the program will have to spend about 20 minutes downloading the images to the computer. The alternative is to shoot continuously to hard disk. The speed obtainable here is from one image every 10 seconds for 1024 x 768 to one every 30 seconds for the highest resolution.
