Video yield rates per GB are listed below. If you are using a 2GB card, simply double the times.
Currently the POV.1 is limited to a 2GB size. VIO are working towards expanding these capabilities. Also, when using the POV.1 in LOOP mode, you can get a day's worth of shots on one card.
It is important for all customers, including commercial & tactical, to be able to power this device anywhere around the world at anytime. Different types of AA batteries can be used including: Lithium Ion for longer use time More info on the VIO POV.HD Here
How long will the batteries last for? Battery time is dependent on several key factors, including internal settings and external environment. Standard alkalines should last about 4-5 hours and the Energizer(tm) Lithium Ion will last approx.
The remote control is designed for close range use, such as, remote on s handlebar or wrist and recorder in pack or on belt. If you want to stretch it to its limits, it will work to about 15 feet away.
The TAG feature of the POV.1 is used to highlight certain important points in your video when using our POV Manager software.
Recording in LOOP mode allows you to save captured video of events after they have happened. When in LOOP mode, POV.1 keeps a video clip in memory (length of clip is set in the settings menu) and will write the clip only if the user requests by pressing the "TAG" button. If the "TAG" button is not pressed, the file will not be saved.
Although an all-in-one concept is compelling, VIO's research has shown that its industrial design limits features and functionality and are heavier on your head than a tethered system provides.
Yes - one of the nice features of the POV.1 is its ability to upgrade firmware. This means VIO's customers will have access to new features as soon as they become available.
VIO ask that you do not open the head to change the lens as it could degrade the waterproof status. VIO created the POV.1 with flexibility in mind and new heads and mounts (and other accessories) for specific purposes will be available soon to optimize your experience.
Not yet - the first head is optimized for wearable functionality, especially when you are moving. VIO will continue to explore different ways to add flexibility in FOV options.
Not yet - The POV.1 does not shoot in HD, but at its highest settings, it records at 720 x 480. HD is another feature VIO will explore in future product iterations.
Yes, the POV.1 has wide aspect ratios, so you can integrate your POV footage with your HD content.
Not quite what we would call DVD quality. Maximum resolution is 720 x 480 @ 3mb/s.
No - the camera head is digitally optimized to work with the POV recording device.
Install the version of the POV Manager from your CD and launch the software. If a new version is available, you will be prompted to download and install it.
VIO hope to have Mac compatibility before June 2008.
No. This is a complimentary feature built into our POV Manager software.
When you choose to distribute your video via our POV Manager software, it is exclusive to those who receive your email. However, your clip may get forwarded to another party. If you have an incredibly compelling clip you want to share with everyone, check the "Add to V.I.O. Gallery" box, we’ll review it and perhaps post it to our site. The POV Manager also makes it easy to post to your favorite Internet site, making the world your audience.
Once shared, video cannot be deleted from the server unless it is automatically deleted by V.I.O.
Video links will be active for a minimum of 30 days, although V.I.O. presently have no plans to remove video from the server.
