# Embedded Information

The Embedded Information feature allows you to embed data into the acquired images. You can select data to embed them into the acquired images. The selected ones will be displayed on the Embedded Information window, you can view the data details on it.

Note:

- For details about viewing details of the embedded information on the Embedded Information window, see View Embedded Information.

- The types of data that can be embedded into the acquired images include Timastamp, Gain, Exposure, Brightness, White Balance, Frame Number, Triggering Number, Line Input/Output, and ROI.

  White Balance data is only available for color camera.

Embedding data into acquired images is realized in two ways, i.e., through the Hikrobot private protocol, or through the Chunk Data Control feature. If the camera supports the Chunk Data Control feature, the way through the Chunk Data Control feature shall prevail; If the camera doesn't support the Chunk Data Control feature, embedding data is realized through the Hikrobot private protocol.

- If the camera supports the Chunk Data Control feature, you should check Chunk Mode Active first, and then select data.

- If the camera doesn't support the Chunk Data Control feature, select data directly (see the picture below).
