Specifications - Software

The POV.1.5 records its videos using MPEG4, so you can use your Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac computer to view them.

Mac:
Plug the POV.1.5 into a USB port or insert the SD card into a card reader in your computer. After a simple installation of Quicktime components for MPEG-4, you'll be able to browse all of the videos, view them through Quicktime, and edit them in iMovie!

PC:
Install V.I.O.'s POV Manager software: simple, intuitive software that allows you to view, edit, and share video easily. For example:

• A ‘POV recorder‘ window shows thumbnails of videos saved on the connected POV.1.5 and a ‘POV Library‘ window shows thumbnails of videos stored on your hard drive.
• Drag and drop video clips from the POV Recorder to the POV Library to move them between the POV.1.5 and your computer, or drag onto a play area to play them back in either actual size or full screen.
• See tags on the timeline during playback and extract clips to the ‘Storyboard‘ window to quickly edit your video.
• Use the ‘Share‘ function to email your clips and upload them to V.I.O. where they can be seen by your friends.

System requirements:

• USB 2.0 port or SD card reader
• Windows: Microsoft Windows XP or Vista and a CD-ROM drive
