Screen grabs are saved in the Grabs folder on the SD card:
If you click into the Grabs folder from the web editor you can download and/or copy to other mode folders.
If you want to use a Screen Grab within another mode, the mode must be appropriately coded to use the image in the way you want. Also, it is probably best to copy only the images you need into the modes you want to use. If you copy images you aren’t going to use, EYESY will load them into RAM anyway and you will end up ‘wasting’ RAM that could be used for other modes. As for image size, this handled by individual modes.
I have attached an example mode below that only displays .png files, centered on the screen that can be resized by knob1 and cycled through with a trigger.
To load .jpg files change the end of line 17 from .png to .jpg :
for filepath in sorted(glob.glob(etc.mode_root + ‘/Images/*.png’)):

The EYESY does not have a video input. To mix and process video signals from the EYESY and VCR, etc. you would need:
- an external video mixer
or - video capture card and computer with video editing or VJ-type software.
There is some information about capture cards in manual section 6.2
