Time to Start Thinking about the 2015 Plexon Workshop Week of: April 27, 2015
We are already in full swing planning for the Plexon’s 6th Annual Neurophysiology and Behavior Workshop . . . and with all of the new products launched this past year, it is going to be a big one! The event will be held during the week of April 27th, 2015 and take place at the DoubleTree Campbell Centre in Dallas, Texas, USA. We look forward to seeing the five Workshop Raffle winners (one from NIC and two each from FENS and Neuroscience) along with 35 others in the spring. Registration forms will be available just around the corner in January, 2015. Don’t forget, any lab that purchases a system from Plexon receives unlimited, half-priced tickets to the upcoming Workshop. In fact, the sales team can even add Workshop registrations to quotes. If you have any questions, please email workshop@plexon.com. We hope to see you there! Plexon Open Most of the Holidays Need to talk to someone at Plexon this holiday season? Plexon Headquarters will be open through the holidays, with the exception of closures on December 24-25 and January 1. We will be running a bit thinner on staff between those dates, however. So, if you need something from us such as last minute invoices, please plan accordingly. Did You Know . . . About Offline Video Tracking? Video tracked with Plexon’s CinePlex® Behavioral Research System can be automatically re-tracked offline in CinePlex Studio. Missing tracking information from occluded LEDs or markers can even be reconstructed in CinePlex Editor or manually entered. CinePlex Studio can be set to “File Mode”, and files previously recorded in CinePlex Studio can be re-tracked using the same features that are available during online capture of the video. New Scene Arenas, Zones, Sequences, and Events can be created. A recording can then be made that saves the tracking data to a new .avi file. Coordinate data can be modified in CinePlex Editor by selecting the relevant tracking marker in the “Markers” window, and choosing an insertion method in the “Input from Marker Selected” window. This is one way to repair missing tracking information due to occluded LEDs or colored markers. A more convenient method of filling in missing coordinate data is to use the automatic interpolation feature by going to “Tools->Interpolate Missing Occurrences”, and selecting the relevant marker. For more information about offline video tracking, contact support@plexon.com.
