The SER player is a free software for playing LuCam Recorder SER files, which allows users to capture the images from a video feed and save them as SER files. SER files are used for planetary, lunar, and solar captures. Once these files are saved, they can be opened in this player for viewing. The app is open-source and designed to be easy to use, so it's perfect for novices and experts.

Key features

• SER Player is an open-source and easy-to-use application, so it's perfect for beginners just starting the software.

• You can convert RAW color frames into a format that can be used for further processing. RAW color frames contain the information needed to reconstruct the original image. These frames are not yet processed; therefore, they are in a raw state.

• The color channel alignment feature ensures that the colors in your recordings are appropriately aligned with the RGB color space.

• You can increase or decrease the brightness and contrast of your video by adjusting the Gain and Gamma settings.

• One of the key features of The SER Player is its ability to convert color frames to monochrome frames. This means that if you have a recording with color frames, it will be converted into monochrome frames so that they can be viewed on any device that supports the SER file format.

• The SER Player allows you to adjust the color saturation of your video. Depending on your preference, you can make your video more vibrant or duller.

• You can produce a negative version of an image by inverting its tones: this feature is used to invert the colors in an SER file.

• The SER Player allows you to crop the frame area of your video recording so that only a portion of it is visible on screen. This can be useful if you want to focus on a specific part of your video recording and don't want other parts to be shown.

• Colour balance adjustment is a feature that allows you to adjust the color balance of your video recording. This is important when you want to ensure that the colors in your video are accurately represented.

• The SER Player allows you to resize frames to a smaller size by cropping the frame area. This can be useful if you want to reduce the size of your video so that it takes up less space on your computer.

The supported save formats

The SER Player allows you to save your content in the following formats: SER, AVI (uncompressed), GIF (animated), JPEG, BMP, PNG, and TIFF (as individual images).
