capabilities

reading a ser file saving as png saving as fit (another astronomical use file format)

inside the loop

all datas are numpy array

methods

.read() :           return a numpy frame and go to the next frame
.getHeader() :      return SER file header in a dictionnary
.readFrameAtPos(n:int) : return frame number n.
.getLength() :      return number of frame in SER file.
.getWidth() :       return width of a frame
.getHeight() :      return height of a frame
.getCurrentPosition():       return current cursor value
.setCurrentPosition(n:int) : set the cursor at position n. Return position if OK, -1 if something's wrong.
.saveFit(filename) : save as FIT file filename frame at "cursor". Return (OK_Flag, filename)
.savePng(filename) : save as PNG file filename frame at "cursor". Return (OK_Flag, filename)
.nextFrame() :        add 1 to cursor i.e. go to next frame. Return current cursor value. -1 if the end of th video.
.previousFrame() :  remove 1 to cursor i.e. go to previous frame. Return current cursor value. -1 if it's from first frame..
