How to take snapshots with ClonerAlliance UHD Halo?¶
The ClonerAlliance UHD Halo can capture still images (snapshots) from the current video input at any time. This article explains how to use the snapshot feature.
How to Take a Snapshot¶
You can trigger a snapshot in two ways:
Press the SNAPSHOT button on the UHD Halo main unit.
Press the SNAPSHOT button on the remote control.
The snapshot is captured instantly from the current video frame being displayed on the passthrough output.
Snapshot File Details¶
File format: JPG
File naming: IMG_xxxx.jpg (auto-incremented index, e.g., IMG_0001.jpg, IMG_0002.jpg)
Resolution: Matches the current input video resolution (e.g., 3840×2160 for 4K input)
Save location: Saved to the same connected storage device used for video recording
During Recording vs. Standby¶
During recording: You can take snapshots while a recording is actively in progress. The snapshot is saved as a separate JPG file alongside the video file.
While not recording: You can also take snapshots when no recording is active, as long as a video source signal is detected and a storage device is connected.
Requirements¶
A storage device (USB or TF card) must be connected and recognized before taking a snapshot.
A video source must be connected and outputting a signal.
If no storage device is connected when you press the SNAPSHOT button, the snapshot will not be captured.
