Effect of Range on Throughput
Over long distances, it typically takes longer to transfer panorama photos or scans because
throughput decreases over range. This decrease in throughput will also affect scan transfer/video
performance (smoothness etc.).
Video Zoom Level
Using a Trimble SX12, most of the time you will be streaming video so you can aim the total station.
The reason performance can be affected is there are three forward-facing cameras within the
instrument, and they generate different image file sizes. Because throughput is decreased at longer
range, it takes longer to transfer the larger image files; this could result in lag in the video.
The Overview camera is used in zoom levels 1 and 2. The Primary camera is used in zoom levels 3
and 4. The Telecamera is used for zoom levels 5 through 8.
