## Capture Info section

> Macro (scroll-tablelayout)

| **Property** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Capture Folder | Enter or browse to the location of the folder in which to store captured data.<br>Note: by default, at least two files are saved for each capture: the raw camera data (.x2d) and the motion capture file (.mcp)  
Default: *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\Evoke1.x\Captures* |
| Capture Name | Enter a suitable name that will enable you to identify the capture. This forms the first part (root) of the capture name. If Auto-increment Name is selected (see below), Evoke automatically adds a numerical suffix to the root capture name for each subsequent capture, for example, Capture001, Capture002, Capture003, etc.  
Note: If the Capture Name matches any file name within the Capture Folder, Evoke will not allow you to select **Start Capture**.  
Default: Capture |
| Auto-increment Name | If selected, appends a number at the end of the root capture name for each capture in a sequence consisting of multiple captures.  
Default: Selected |

| --- | --- |
| Start on Timecode | Select this check box and specify the timecode at which you want the capture to automatically start, using the format.  
`hh:mm:ss:ff`   
where:  
`hh` = hours (0-23),` mm` = minutes (0-59),` ss` = seconds (0-59), `ff` = frames (0-24 for PAL/SECAM, 0-29 for NTSC  
For NTSC, the separator character changes between a colon ( `:` ) for non-drop frames and a semicolon ( `;` ) for drop frames.  
For further details on the use of timecode functionality in Vicon systems, see the [*Vicon Vantage Reference Guide*](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Vantage/pages/15055110) or *Vicon Systems Setup Guide*.  
Default: Cleared |
| Stop on Timecode | Select this check box and specify the timecode at which you want the capture to automatically stop, using the format.  
`hh:mm:ss:ff`   
where:  
`hh` = hours (0-23),` mm` = minutes (0-59),` ss` = seconds (0-59), `ff` = frames (0-24 for PAL/SECAM, 0-29 for NTSC)
