What’s In The Box?
The POV.HD you purchased contains everything you need to take high quality HD video. The POV.HD is built
on a modular design that allows you maximum flexibility in how you mount the HD camera head, which in turn
makes it possible for you to optimize the video you capture for your intended purpose. The POV.HD doesn’t
dictate how you use it. You decide.
Wide Angle HD Camera Head with Tethered LVDS Cable
The camera head imaging system can capture video at 1080p and 720p at up to
60 frames per second. A six element, all glass lens provides a field of view up to
142º for 1080p video. Everything is encased in a rugged, heavy gauge aluminum
body and bezel that are sealed against dust and moisture. The lens is protected
against contamination by a sealed glass shield.
POV.HD Recorder
The camera head attaches to the POV.HD recorder via a 1.5 meter LVDS
cable. The recorder controls recording and playback, supports advanced
image enhancement and exposure controls, and provides a user
interface for adjusting a wide range of system parameters. The recorder
is enclosed in a sealed polycarbonate enclosure that protects it from
impact and vibration that would prove deadly to other systems. Both the
recorder and the camera head are rated at IP67 for protection against
dust and moisture.
Wireless Remote Control
The wireless remote allows you to control recording or still photo capture
without having direct access to the POV.HD recorder. This lets you get set up
for recording, and then stow the recorder out of the way, up to 15 feet from
where you’ll be. The remote can be attached on your wrist, in your palm, on
the handlebars or steering wheel, wherever it’s easy to use while you’re
involved with other things. Like the camera head, the remote is sealed and
rugged and ready for hard use.
Mounting Systems
One of the most powerful features of the POV.HD is that you can put the camera head where you want it to
be. You can put it on your helmet if that’s what you need, but you can also mount it on a snowboard, roll cage,
a bike’s front shock, or the windshield frame on a cigarette boat off-‐shore racer. Vibration, shock, sand, and
water spray aren’t going to hurt it. To put the camera head where you want it, you need to be able to mount it
securely. The POV.HD comes with a Mini-‐mount kit that will meet a wide range of needs. Additional mount
kits and individual mounts are available from V.I.O. for any special need you may have.
