OCU II Audio/Video Out Capabilities
OCU II Audio/Video Out Capabilities
Audio Output
The OCU II is capable of receiving audio transmitted from the Recon
Scout XL robot. To listen, plug the provided volume control adaptor
into the appropriate jack on the left-hand side of the OCU II. Then plug
headphones into the volume control adaptor. Headphones approved for
Apple or Android devices will not work with the provided volume
control adaptor.
Audio/Video Output
The ReconRobotics Audio/Video (A/V) Out Cabling Package (sold
separately) can be used to connect the OCU II to an external
monitoring/recording device (not included). The A/V Out jack is
located on the left-hand side of the OCU II.
Once connected to the OCU II, connect the other end of the A/V Out
cable to the appropriate connector on an external device. Please refer to
the instruction card provided with the A/V Out Cabling Package for
more information.
The A/V Out cables in the A/V Out Cabling Package are specially
designed to work with the OCU II. Though they may look similar,
cables manufactured by a third party will not work appropriately with
the OCU II.
Video Only Output
If you use the OCU II with a robot that does not have the capability to
transmit audio, you will still be able to output a video signal through the
A/V Out jack using the appropriate cable. Do not use headphones with
the OCU II unless you are controlling a Recon Scout XL robot.
Do not use third-party cables with the A/V Out
jack on the OCU. They will not work properly.
Ensure you are using headphones with in-line
volume control. There is no volume control on the
OCU itself. Be careful to test the audio volume
before using.
