MultiView
Toolbar
The MultiView toolbar contains tools to
synchronize multiple MultiView enabled applications. Currently
MaxTRAQ and MaxDAQ supports MultiView sync.A MultiView enabled
application will send and/or receive the following commands:
Go to frame
Step to next or previous frame
Play
Start Record
Stop
To enable MultiView Sync, click on the Enable button in each
application that you want to sync. The toolbar also adds buttons
to start any of these add-on applications if installed:
MaxMATE
MaxDAQ
When you start MaxMATE from the toolbar it will load the current
MaxTRAQ file so you can analyze the data without going through the
export.
Bug

A bug in the MFC libraries prevented large
AVI files to load. This problem has been fixed in v2.09

Video
Recorder
A Video Recorder has been added to allow you

and webcams. To access the recorder, use File-New-Recording.
SimpleScript

added. This allows your to control MaxTRAQ by putting commands
in a text file. A Repeat command has been included to allow
batch recording/processing. All the script commands are also
available as special hyperlink commands (see Widgets). For more
information on scripting, see our Tutorials.
Widget
Applications
A new feature called Widgets has been added
to MaxTRAQ. These widgets are mini applications that are
attached to the MaxTRAQ window. They can be displayed or hidden
and can be attached to any of the 4 sides of the window. Current
Widget Applications include:
|
theWiz
|
This is a mini
browser that understands special MaxTRAQ hyperlinks that can
be used to control MaxTRAQ from theWiz. The intention of
theWiz is to provide a simple way to create wizards or student
course material that the user can follow along. The
default file extension for theWiz is HTm or HTML. See
the scripting tutorial for more information.

New

different settings. This also aids in a bilateral 3D tracking
setup where you want to track markers 1-8 on one side and 8-16 on the
other.

Additional
support for AVI/MPG formats
MaxTRAQ can now read a larger variety of AVI
and MPG formats.
Enhanced
support for for interlaced video
Previous versions of MaxTRAQ did not use any
deinterlace filters thus creating blurred images. Version 1.6
adds support for the following deinterlace filters:
DSpace Deinterlace Filter. This is a free DirectShow
filter licensed under the GNU GPL license. You can download this
filter from our download page.
Alparysoft Deinterlace Filter. This filter is a
commercial filter that can be purchased from www.alparysoft.com.
Please note that you need the DirectShow version of the filter.
MaxTRAQ will use either of these filters if they are installed on your
system and the video is interlaced. You should have DirectX
Version 9 installed for best performance. Please note that these
are add-ons and not part of the MaxTRAQ software.
