video, tag interesting shots while youre recording, edit videos while in the field, and share your videos. Everything inside the STREAM has been designed to capture the highest quality HD video, and the durability of the Stream enclosures allows you to capture video just about anywhere you care to go. Dust, snow, water spray, shock, and vibration pose no threat to the state-of-the-art optics and electronics inside. The modular system design allows you to mount the Stream almost anywherehelmet, shoulder strap, roll cage, ski tip, power boat windshield, firearm, you name it, and a POV camera has probably been there. Whats In the Box?
The STREAM you are integrating contains everything you need for your customers to take high quality HD video. The STREAM is built on a modular design that allows you maximum flexibility in how you mount, which in turn makes it possible for you to optimize the video you capture for your intended purpose. The STREAM doesnt dictate how you use it. You decide. Wide Angle HD Lens The 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 142 for 1080p video. Everything is encased in a rugged, magnesium body and bezel that are sealed against dust and moisture. The lens is protected against contamination by a sealed glass shield. STREAM Recording The STREAM controls recording, supports advanced image enhancement and exposure controls, and provides application programming interface (API) for adjusting a wide range of system parameters. The Stream is enclosed in a sealed enclosure that protects it from impact and vibration that would prove deadly to other systems. The Stream is rated at IP67 for protection against dust and moisture. Power and Output Flexibility One of the features of the STREAM that gives great flexibility for integration is the end cap interface. This interface allows the stream to have multiple end caps which can be used for a variety of setups. The USB end cap provides a USB cable connection that can be used for power only or power, control, and streaming. The battery pack end cap provides a more mobile solution for power and can use the 802.11 interface for control and video streaming. Integrators may also want to explore custom end caps or lenses for the Stream. Communication and Output Options The STREAM can be controlled through the following interfaces:
5 STREAM User Manual Android or IOS phone using a free application to communicate with the 802.11 interface PC or Mac to USB interface using an HTML application you create or our integrator HTML interface page PC or Mac to 802.11 interface using an HTML application you create or our integrator HTML interface page Integrators computer/product to USB or 802.11 interfaces to the Stream using the integrators application.

We have many existing work through difficult mounting integration needs. features of the STREAM is that you can mount cameras created the POV video market rock solid mounts with extreme mounting mount options for the Stream, and can help situations as needed for your special 6 STREAM User Manual Get Ready The STREAM is shipped with everything you need to start making great videos in HD, but a bit of assembly is required before you get started. Set up the STREAM with a USB End Cap 1. Remove the end cap from the Stream and install the Micro SDHC card included with the STREAM. Squeeze the two latches on the Stream end cap and remove the end cap. Insert the Micro SDHC card into the card slot (as shown below), until the card clicks into place. The Micro SDHC card label will face upward when it is inserted correctly. Note that the Micro SDHC card has a notch on the right hand side when the label is facing up. If you insert the Micro SDHC card upside down, this feature will prevent the card from being fully inserted. DO NOT use unnecessary force to put the card into the slot. If it will not go all the way into the slot, remove the card and make certain the label is visible and the notch is to the right. To remove the Micro SDHC card when it is latched, push and release the back edge of the card slightly and it will unlatch and project out a short distance. It can then be pulled out. There is a ridge at the top of the back end of the card or a small notch on the outer edge of the right side of the Micro SDHC card that may help you to remove the card after it is unlatched. Note: The STREAM can use Micro SDHC cards from 4GB up to 32 GB maximum. Work with your sales representative to determine the correct size for your integration needs. 7 STREAM User Manual 2. Replace the end cap onto the STREAM. Squeeze the two latches on the USB end cap. Insert the end cap into the back end of the Stream as shown below and release the latches.

[root@localhost Desktop]# ifconfig usb0 172.16.197.198 netmask 255.255.255.252 6. You can now ping the camera at 172.16.197.197, use a web browser (e.g. Firefox) to get to the HTML administration page at http://172.16.197.197, and use a video player (e.g. VLC) to access the RTSP stream at rtsp://172.16.197.197:8554/stream 24 STREAM User Manual Connecting to your camera over Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) Access point Connecting to the Stream in Access point mode means that the camera controls the Wi-Fi connection. This connection is used solely for the purpose of camera communication, control, and streaming, and does not connect the user to the Internet. The Stream default settings automatically start the camera as an Access Point. Connecting to the Stream in this mode should be as simple as enabling the wireless network on your PC, Mac, phone or other device, finding the Stream in the Wireless Network options, selecting the stream and asking for a connection (SSID =
Stream_xxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxxxx = the serial number, password=extremetech). Once the default password has been entered, the PC or Mac should attempt to make a connection to the Stream. Once this has been completed, you may now access the stream through the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface in a web browser command line, integrators HTML page, or application, or you may use a video player that supports RTSP to stream video. To do this, you will want to do the following:
1. Open your player 2. Determine how to do RTSP Streaming on your chosen video player. For many players, this is done using the Media, File or Open menu and doing a Media->Open Network Stream, Open-> URL or Open->Network. This may vary with different OSs and versions of the player. For VLC (Two Flower) on Windows XP, it is Media->Open Network Stream. You will then want to enter the RTSP address below, and click Play. 25 STREAM User Manual For KM Player, after opening your player, you will want to right click your mouse over the player, select Open, and then move to the right and select Open URL. Then enter the same URL as above
(rtsp://192.168.2.1:8554/stream), and click the open button at the bottom of the window see the example below:
The Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface may be used to select a new SSID and/or password, though once this is completed, the connection may be lost, and so it is recommended to make changes to the wireless settings through the USB end cap. There are several commands in the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface that allow control of the access point interface (auto-enable, SSID, password, channel, encryption type, ip address). More information can be found on these in the Settings section or the Integrators API guide. Client mode To operate in Client mode, some settings must first be changed in the Wi-Fi setup. The default settings are for Access point mode. Using the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface, modify the SSID and password for the network you wish and enable the Wi-Fi Client mode. An example command set may look like this:
1. Scan : http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/scan 2. Setup SSID : http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/ssid=YOUR_NETWORK 3. Setup password: http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/password=YOUR_PASSWORD 4. Setup encoder type: http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/enctype=YOUR_WIFI_ENCODER_TYPE 5. Setup Auto Connect: http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/autorun=1 6. Save Settings: http://172.16.197.197/api/system/settingssave 7. Connect: http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/connect 8. Check Status until you see connected: http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/status 9. Force IP refresh: http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/iprefresh 10. Extract Wifi IP address: http://172.16.197.197/api/wificlient/ipaddress 11. Use wifi IP on your browser to access API: http://<insert IP_ADDRESS > (e.g. http://192.168.2.1) 12. To access the stream over wifi, use your viewer to connect to rtsp://ip address:8554/stream 26 STREAM User Manual Prior to streaming over wifi, you should make sure that your pipeline is set up in a way to support low data rate streaming (i.e. 400 kbps, 200kbps). Connect to the Stream using the Android Phone Application At this time, the Stream has a sample Android application to assist in camera evaluation and to provide a baseline application to integrators who wish to create phone applications. The sample application for the V.I.O. Stream is available by sending a request sent to customer.care@vio-pov.com At this time support is limited to Android 4.0 or higher. To connect to the Stream using the Android phone application, you will need to install the application onto your phone. Once this is complete, you will need to set up your phone and start the application. Installing the Android Application onto your phone 1. In settings under security, you may need to select to allow installations of apps from sources other than the play store. 2. Download the VIOStream.apk to your device. This can be done by saving the .apk file to your device from an email. 27 STREAM User Manual 3. Once downloaded, complete action using the Android packaging installer. 4. Select Install. 5. Once the application is installed, select Done and follow the directions for setup of your phone below before trying to open or use the application. 28 STREAM User Manual Setting up your Android phone application and basic use 1) Open your phone settings and enable Wi-Fi on your phone as shown below. 2) Select the Stream as a Wi-Fi Access Point to connect. Enter the camera default password
= extremetech 3) Ensure that Wi-Fi shows as connected as in the picture below. 29 STREAM User Manual 4) Place the VioStream.apk on your Android phone 5) Launch the VioStream application. Once this is done you will see the application home screen. 30 STREAM User Manual 6) To get the camera Status, touch the status screen. You should see a status similar to the screen below. 7) Use the other buttons to get a snapshot or video stream. 31 STREAM User Manual Integrator HTML Web Page To help with learning about the camera and integration of the camera, the Stream comes with an Integrator HTML Web Page. This page is designed to help you get familiar with the Streams interface, evaluate the status of the Stream and to control or test something on the Stream. To access the Integrator HTML Web Page once the setup above is complete, simply open your browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc.). In the browser URL window, enter the address of the camera and hit the Enter key. If you are accessing the camera through the USB interface using default settings, this will be 172.16.197.197. If you are accessing the Stream through the Wi-Fi interface using default settings, this will be 192.168.2.1. See the example below:
This will bring up an HTML page that will allow you to control and see responses from the Stream. This page is only one way to access the Stream interface. You may also access it by typing commands directly into the browser URL window and hitting return (such as 172.16.197.197/api/system/defaults to restore defaults) or you may send these commands from an HTML page you create or other application. The log button will bring up a window that will show the command sent and the response to any command. Set the System Time and Date The time and date must be set in the Stream so that video clips, still photos, and other files will have the time and date that corresponds to the time recorded. It is recommended that the integrator set the time and date automatically through the application each initialization. The camera has a small real time clock battery backup that will last a few hours. The time and date should be set by using the application programming interface to set the time. HTTP commands necessary to set the time are:
32 STREAM User Manual
<ipaddress>/api/system/utc=xxx where xxx = -12 to 12
<ipaddress>/api/system/time=xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is the EPOCH time to set the time and date to. The Unix epoch (or Unix time or POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z). Literally speaking the epoch is Unix time 0 (midnight 1/1/1970), but 'epoch' is often used as a synonym for
'Unix time'. Many Unix systems store epoch dates as a signed 32-bit integer, which might cause problems on January 19, 2038 (known as the Year 2038 problem or Y2038). It is best to set the time and date each time the unit is powered up. A backup battery does exist to back up the time and date. This battery lasts several hours and is rechargeable. Using the STREAM Stream buttons There is one button on your Stream. This button is used to power on the camera, power off the camera, start or stop recording, or to reset the Wi-Fi configuration. Button Power up/Power down The button turns the Stream on and off. To power up, briefly press the button (< 1 second) until the LED turns on (it will be yellow/red). The camera will take a few seconds to go through its power up sequence (LED will transition from yellow/red to solid green then to flashing green), and when it has finished, it will be in Standby mode with a flashing green LED. To power down the Stream, press the button and hold for 3 seconds then release. If you are recording a video clip and you press and hold the button, the camera will close the file and will power down. Start Recording When the Stream is in the Standby configuration (Green blinking LED), a brief button press (< 1 second) will begin a recording. The camera will use the default settings or any other settings that have been set through 33 STREAM User Manual the Streams Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface. Once the Stream is recording, the LED will periodically flash red. Stop Recording When the Stream is recording, a brief press to the button (< 1 second) will stop the recording. Once this is complete, the camera will return to a Standby mode with a flashing green LED. Reset to defaults The camera defaults can be restored through the following options:
When the camera is on, press and hold the button for 10 seconds. When the led starts to flash red, release, and press again briefly (< 1 second). The LED will shut off, defaults will be loaded, and then the application will restart if a something was running. A few second later, you will have a stream again with all the defaults, system wide. Send the Restore to default command through the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface, by using the <ipaddress>/api/system/defaults command. Operating modes The STREAM operates in several different modes, depending upon the function being performed. Because this manual refers to these modes frequently, its worthwhile to review what they are and what theyre used for. Stream Mode is for viewing the video through the RTSP interface through a USB IP address or through a 802.11 Wi-Fi IP address to view the video stream. Record Mode is for recording video or for setting up the recorder prior to recording. Stream and Record Mode is for streaming and recording simultaneously as above. Standby Mode is for adjusting the STREAM settings. Mass Storage Device Mode is for uploading files to a computer via the USB port. Other than knowing that they exist, the important thing to know about operating modes is that the STREAM can operate in only one mode at a time. This means that in most cases, you cannot adjust settings while recording or view video clips while compiling a highlight clip. There are a few settings, such as exposure zone, exposure time, noise filter, sharpener, and microphone settings that can be adjusted while recording or streaming. 34 STREAM User Manual File names on the STREAM Files containing video made with the STREAM are referred to as clips. Raw clips (clips that are the direct result of recording video with the STREAM) are named using an 8.3 format so that they are portable back to phones and tablets with limited file name size support. For Example:
V0000000.mp4 - the V denotes a Video file. S0000000.jpg the S denotes a Still image V000000A.mov the V indicates this is a video, the A, B, C, at the end indicates the sequence of the 3 pieces of a loop or A/B for the two pieces of a loop and forward file. 35 STREAM User Manual LEDs The picture below shows where to find the LED and Microphone hole. Powering up When the Stream is in the off state and the button is pressed briefly (<1 Second), the LED will turn Orange then Green. At this point the button may be released. The LED will be Orange for 15 seconds. At this point the USB driver or Wi-Fi will begin initialization and the LED will then be solid green for approximately 10 seconds while communication is established. The LED will begin to flash slow green (1x/second) when ready for operation. This indicates a standby or streaming only state. Standby or Streaming only The slow (1x per second) green blinking LED indicates the Standby or Streaming state. Recording A slow (1x per second) red blinking LED indicates the Stream is in Record Mode. Low Memory When the Stream detects that available space on the Micro SDHC card is getting low while recording, it will change the LED to Orange and will continue to slow blink. Low Battery When the Stream detects that the battery is getting low, it will increase the blink speed to fast blink. The color of the LED will stay the color of the current state (green for standby/streaming, red for recording/streaming. Record video The basics 1. When the STREAM boots up, it goes to Record Standby automatically. If you have set up the Stream to do automatic streaming on power up, it will also be streaming video. 2. Once you are in standby mode (blinking green LED), you can start recording using one of two methods. Either you can use the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface to send a command to the camera to start recording, or you can briefly (< 1 second) press and release the button. Once the button press or 36 STREAM User Manual command is received, the camera will begin to record. This is indicated by the blinking red LED
(1x/second). If you are streaming, the video player will show the preview of what is being captured. 3. Once you are recording, you can tag a video file. To tag the clip being recorded, use the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface to send a tag command to the Stream (<ip address./api/record/tag). A tag is a time marker on a clip, similar to a bookmark in a document. Tags may also be used by other future editing features. Record Modes The STREAM supports 3 Record Modes through the record interface commands. A complete discussion of what each Record Mode does as well as guidelines for selecting the right Record Mode is provided in Understanding the STREAM Video Record Modes, below. Clip records video like a standard video recorder. Once you start recording, video is captured continuously until you stop recording or the Micro SDHC card is full. Loop records a short clip every time you send a tag command. The saved clip(s), referred to as a loop, includes action immediately before you send the tag command, as well as action immediately following. Loop & Forward keeps no video until you send a tag command for the first time. Then a loop is captured and all action following that first tag is captured as well. To set the Record Mode, use the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface. When you use the Loop method, looptime determines the length of the saved video loops. When you use the Loop & Forward method, loopforwardtime determines the length of the saved video . The actual length of a saved loop is never less than the looptime or loopforwardtime, but it can be longer. See Understanding the STREAM Record Modes for additional information about how the STREAM determines how much video to save in order to ensure that you capture the action immediately before and immediately after each tag. Record using the Wi-Fi interface The STREAM allows you to control recording and set tags on a video clip without touching the recorder through use of the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface over Wi-Fi. This allows you to place the Stream in out of reach places yet still control it. The Stream does not have a remote control, but allows integrators the ability to create a remote control capability through the Wi-Fi interface. Record still photos or capturing MJPEGs Still Photo To save a still photo to the Micro SDHC Card, there are two commands that may be used in the Stills interface. 1. The capture.jpg (<ip address>/api/still/capture.jpg command will save a still photo to the Micro SDHC card in the Snapshots directory and will return the jpeg to the calling interface. 2. The save command (<ip address>/api/still/save command will only save a still photo to the Micro SDHC card. MJPEG Interface In addition to the still photo interface, an MJPEG interface exists on the Stream. This interface allows the user to capture a single MJPEG or to start and stop a continuous stream of MJPEGs. Please see the Web Programmable API for details on the MJPEG interface. 37 STREAM User Manual Playing video Select a video clip You can get a list of your video clips on the recorder, delete files, or retrieve files for playback. To get a list of files on the Micro SDHC card, use the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface to send the <ip address>/api/record/files command. This command will return a list of files. You may then do one of several things:
1. Use the HTTP Get interface to retrieve a file. 2. If you are using the USB end cap, you may place the Stream into USB Mass Storage Device Mode to retrieve files from the PC. This command looks like <ip address>/api/system/msd. Once this command is entered, the Stream will be placed into a special mode where the Micro SDHC card is connected to the PC or Mac or other computer and may be accessed via the USB slot directly. You should see a file folder open and can then access files from the Micro SDHC card. Uploading video clips and still photos to a computer There are three ways to get files from the Micro SDHC card in the STREAM onto a personal computer. 1. Power off the Stream and remove the end cap/Micro SD card and use an SDHC Card reader attached to your computer. 2. Use the HTTP Get interface to retrieve a file. 3. Connect the STREAM to a USB port on your computer using the USB end cap and cable provided with the STREAM, and upload the files directly to the computer from the recorder. When uploading files by either method, you need to be aware of the folder structure used by the STREAM. The example below shows this structure. Stream - the volume label for the Micro SDHC card containing the files. This volume label is on the Micro SDHC card provided with the STREAM. If you format that card or use a different card, the volume label will appear as Unknown Device, unless you have set the volume label to some other text using a computer. DCIM - the name of the directory in which all video and still photos are stored. Videos - the name of the sub-directory in which all videos are stored. Snapshots - the name of the sub-directory in which all still photos are stored. V0000000.mp4 is an example name of a video clip made with the STREAM V0000000.xml is an example name of an XML file that contains the tag information for the clip file. V000000A.mp4 is an example name of a loop or loop and forward file Details about STREAM file naming conventions are given in File Names on the STREAM, above. Note: This illustration shows the file structure. The order of the files in each folder depends on the operating system and your preference settings. Upload and/or delete files using a flash memory card reader:
Make sure the STREAM is not recording video. Removing the end cap while recording will cause the entire clip to be corrupted. When the recorder is powered down and then powered back up, the internal logic will discover the corrupted clip and attempt to repair it, but a successful repair is not guaranteed. The best policy is to be sure youre not recording when you remove the Micro SDHC card. Remove the Micro SDHC card from the recorder and put it into the card reader. 38 STREAM User Manual Use the regular procedures for uploading and/or deleting files using your reader. When you have finished, remove the Micro SDHC card from the reader and reinstall it in the Stream. Note: If you are using a Mac, when you delete files, you must be certain to also empty the trash. On a Mac deleted files are left in place and marked as being in the trash. Empty Trash is required to physically remove the files from the Micro SDHC card. 39 STREAM User Manual Upload and/or delete files using a USB connection:
Connect the recorder to a USB port on the computer using the USB end cap and cable included with the STREAM. If the STREAM recorder is powered down, power it up. Use the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface to send the mass storage device mode command to the Stream (<ip address>/api/system/msd) On a Mac, the recorder will appear in the Finder as an external drive. On a Windows PC, in Windows Explorer, the STREAM will appear as a removable disk under My Computer. Once the recorder is connected to your computer, you can transfer files from the recorder to your computer, or delete files on the Micro SDHC card in the same way you would transfer or delete files on any external drive such as a CD, DVD, or backup drive. NOTE: If the Micro SDHC card has no label, it will appear in the Finder or Windows Explorer as NO NAME, UNKNOWN DEVICE, or something similar. If the Micro SDHC card has a volume label, that label will appear as the name of the device. The Micro SDHC card provided with the STREAM is formatted with the volume label Stream. Note: If you are using a Mac, when you delete files, you must be certain to also empty the trash. On a Mac deleted files are left in place and marked as being in the trash. Empty Trash is required to physically remove the files from the Micro SDHC card. Once the video files are on your computer, they can be treated like any other video files. They can be viewed using any suitable video player that runs on your system. They can be edited, compiled, and/or resized into your own custom videos. They can be burned onto CDs or DVDs. They can be uploaded to YouTube or any other video sharing site on the Internet. Delete video clips and still photos from the recorder You can delete video clips and still photos from the Micro SDHC card without removing the card. Delete video clips and still photos using the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface To delete clips on the Stream, the Stream must be powered up. If the Stream is not powered up, press the power button for 1-2 seconds to power it up. It is best to be in Standby mode. This can be done by stopping any recording or streaming in progress. This is done using the following commands:
<ip address>/api/record/stop
<ip address>/api/stream/stop To get a list of files on the Micro SDHC card, use the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface to send the <ip address>/api/record/files command. This command will return a list of files. Use the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface to delete a file. This command would look like <ip address>/api/record/file/V0000000.mp4/delete. Remote Control of the Stream If you are using more than one STREAM system in the same area, at the same time you will need to ensure that your SSID is different for each camera. You may use the 802.11 Wi-Fi interface to send commands to the Stream using the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface. This 40 STREAM User Manual The Remote ID channel of the wireless remote is set using a small rotary dial located inside the remote control. To adjust the channel you will need to open the remote control unit by removing the four small Phillips screws at the four corners of the remote. Use a small flat bladed screwdriver to carefully rotate the pointer to the desired setting. Take care to protect the inner workings of the remote from dust and moisture while the cover is removed Replace the cover, tightening the four screws uniformly to create even pressure against the seal Update the firmware on the STREAM From time to time VIO may make updates to the firmware in the STREAM available to camera owners. These updates improve system performance and may add new features. If you are having an issue, please check the support site below to determine if there has been a firmware update. Download a firmware update To check if there is a firmware update available, go to:
http://www.vio-pov.com/support/stream_firmware_upgrade To download the new firmware, click on the Download Firmware Upgrade link toward the bottom of the page. The firmware will be downloaded in a ZIP file which contains the firmware plus a version specific set of the instructions given below. Install the Firmware Put the new firmware on a Micro SDHC card Unzip the downloaded firmware upgrade file You will get a folder containing a PDF with upgrade instructions, and the firmware upgrade file which will have the format: Stream-x.yy.bin where x.yy is the version number for this upgrade. You can put the firmware on a Micro SDHC card in one of two ways 1. Put the Micro SDHC card into an Micro SDHC card slot on your computer or into an Micro SDHC card reader attached to your computer, OR 2. Connect you computer directly to the recorder with a Micro SDHC card in it using the USB link and going to Mass Storage Device mode (<ip address>/api/system/msd). In either case, simply drag the firmware BIN file onto the Micro SDHC card in Windows Explorer or OS X Finder. The firmware file goes into the top level folder/directory. The firmware does NOT go into the DCIM folder/directory. If there is an upgrade file for an older version of the firmware on this Micro SDHC card delete that file at this time. Put the Micro SDHC card with the firmware into the recorder If you used a Micro SDHC card slot or a Micro SDHC card reader attached to your computer, dismount and remove the Micro SDHC card and put that card into the Stream and replace your end cap. If you copied the upgrade file directly onto the Micro SDHC card in the recorder using the USB link, disconnect the link to power down the recorder, and reconnect. 41 STREAM User Manual Prepare the Stream If using the battery end cap, check the battery level when the Stream goes into Standby mode. If you do not have at least half the battery power remaining, power down the recorder and install fresh batteries or charge the battery. Its essential that the Stream not lose power while the firmware upgrade is in progress. Install the firmware IMPORTANT NOTE: If using the battery end cap, do not install the firmware unless you have verified that the batteries have an adequate charge, see Prepare the Stream, above. From a power down state, hold the power button on the Stream for 5-6 seconds until the LED turns orange. After a moment, the LED will begin to blink orange at 1x/second. IMPORTANT: Do not turn the Stream off or remove the Micro SDHC card while the firmware is being updated. The update process takes only a short time (1 2 minutes). When the update is complete, the LED will change to either a solid green or solid orange state. Solid green indicates success. You will then need to power off the camera and power if back on again. If you see a solid orange state, try doing the update again. Check out the Stream Power down then power up the Stream. Using the integrators HTML page, look at the system settings to make sure that the firmware version is correctly updated. 42 STREAM User Manual Settings Using the built-in settings, you can configure the STREAM to create optimal video in every shooting situation, maximize battery life, select Record Modes, and set the time and date. The STREAM is shipped with default settings that create great HD video under most normal conditions, so you can choose to shoot without worrying about the settings at all, and if you do change the settings, you can return to the default values in a single step using the reset to defaults command. Adjusting settings 1. Power up the STREAM if its not already on and go to the Integrators HTML Web Page as described above. 2. Select the /API link near the top of the page. This command will give a response that details all of the current settings. 3. Use the other hyperlinks on the page to change other settings, or enter the specific commands through a browser window or application. 4. Each setting change will indicate success or failure in the response window. 5. Settings will only be in effect until the next power cycle unless you save the changes by sending the save settings command. Settings Summary Heres a quick reference list of all the STREAM settings. Detailed information about the settings as well as tips and guidelines for their use are provided in the following section, Tips and Guidelines for Getting the Most out of Your STREAM. The STREAM is set to default settings values out of the box. These are also the values that are set if Restore All Default Settings is used. Key Setting Guidelines There are two key pieces of information to remember when changing the settings:
1. To change sensor settings, including frame rate, data rates, and resolutions, the video stream, recording, and the sensor must ALL be turned OFF. If these functions are running, the camera may attempt to make the settings changes, however, the end result may not be the desired result. 2. To create video, you must settle on what combinations of functionality you desire. Settings for all resolutions, data rates, and frame rates must all be changed prior to turning the sensor on. A video pipeline is then set up, and you can start/stop recording or start/stop streaming, at will, but you cannot start recording and then change the streaming resolution (for instance). Even if the two dont seem connected, there is only one video pipeline and it must be set up prior to turning on the sensor. There are a few settings that are tied to the sensor or video pipeline that can be manipulated while the sensor is running. These are the exposure settings (exposure zone, exposure time, noise filter, and sharpener) and the overlay settings. In addition, settings that do not affect the video pipeline may change during sensor operation, such as the microphone volume, power off timeout, etc. 43 STREAM User Manual Settings Overview All settings are documented in the VIO Stream protocol reference guide. This can be found on our web site under http://vio-pov VIO Stream API Protocol Reference Version 0.97 November 20 2013 Introduction The VIO Stream API protocol is a web-based interface allowing for camera control over TCP/IP and HTTP/1.1.

This section will help get you started and answer some basic questions about how to use the settings. Choosing a video format The STREAM supports several different recording formats which are designated by industry standard labels such as 1080p30. In this example, 1080 designates 1080 horizontal scan lines in the frame, p designates progressive scanning which means all lines in the frame are captured in each frame, and 30 designates 30 frames per second.
(You may have noticed elsewhere formats such as 1080i. In such a case, i designates interlaced scanning in which the odd numbered scan lines are captured in in one frame and the even numbered lines in the next. This method uses less bandwidth and less file space, but in some circumstances such as filming rapid motion the perceived picture may not be as sharp as with progressive scanning. Also the frame rate is commonly left off the label for consumer video equipment because consumer TV sets automatically adjust to the frame rate of the incoming signal.) Format Resolutions In this illustration, the shape of each box shows the shape (aspect ratio) in which each format is displayed. The area of each box is proportional to the resolution. The actual physical size of any format is determined by the device on which it is displayed. width = 1920 pixels height = 1080 pixels
~2 megapixels/frame width = 1280 pixels height = 720 pixels
~0.9 megapixels/frame 59 STREAM User Manual Comparison of STREAM Video Formats Format Resolution

Frame rate compatibility with European broadcast standards Frame rate compatibility with European broadcast standards Table Notes 11080p is higher resolution and, under identical conditions will generally produce a slightly sharper picture, but conditions are seldom identical and almost never ideal. Depending on the type of television receiver or computer screen on which the video is played back, room lighting, viewing distance from the screen, and other factors, the difference in picture quality between 1080p and 720p may or may not be significant or even detectable. Its best to try it and see. 2On the STREAM, 720p60 is recorded at 60 fps and 720p50 is recorded at 50 fps for compatibility with European broadcast standards which allows clips recorded this way to be played back in smooth slow motion, and for action filming these will often be the format of choice. Because, on the STREAM, 720p60 records twice as many frames as 1080p30 and 720p50 records twice as many frames as 1080p25, the resulting file sizes in these two situations are roughly the same. Understanding the STREAM Video Record Modes The STREAM supports three video Record Modes: Clip, Loop, and Loop & Forward. Clip works like a regular video recorder. After you start recording, the STREAM records continuously until you stop recording, and what youve recorded is stored in a file, called a clip on the Micro SDHC card. Loop allows you to select what action to record and save, without the need to be constantly starting and stopping the recorder. To use the Loop method you must set Record Mode to Loop and the looptime to an interval that is appropriate for your situation (more on that in a moment.) These are set using settings. Loop and Forward works like Loop, except that once youve captured the first Loop clip by sending the tag command, the recorder saves the previous segment plus all of the video from that point until you stop recording. The length of this Loop or pre-event video is determined by the loopforwardtime setting. 60 STREAM User Manual How the three Record Modes work The illustrations below compare the Clip, Loop, and Loop & Forward Record Modes. When the explanation of the examples refers to a tag, it means to send a tag command through the Web Programmable HTML/XML interface. In these diagrams, with the recorder in Record Standby mode, we show video recording done in a 10 minute period between starting recording and stopping recording. The green area on the timeline indicates what video footage is actually captured. In all three examples, the Tag command was sent three times: at 00:02:06, at 00:05:54, and at 00:07:50. The examples show how the results are different in all three cases. The Loop Record Time is set to 30 seconds. Clip Method 2 min 4 min 6 min 8 min 10 min Start Recording tag at 00:02:06 tag at 00:05:54 tag at 00:07:50 Stop Recording Using the Clip Record Mode, recording starts when a record start command is sent and runs continuously until a record stop command is sent. This is exactly the way a standard video recorder works. In addition, each time the Tag command is sent, a tag is recorded, for later editing use. Loop Method 0 2 min 4 min 6 min 8 min 10 min Start Recording tag at 00:02:06 2 min tag at 00:05:54 tag at 00:07:50 Stop Recording Using the Loop Record Mode, recording starts when the record start command is sent, but the captured video isnt saved until a tag command is sent. When a tag command is sent at 00:02:06, a set of three short clips, called loops, are saved, one for each segment indicated in green around that tag. When a tag command is sent at 00:05:54, another set of loops is saved, and finally, when a tag command is sent at 00:07:50, a third set of loops is saved. When in the Loop Record Mode, sending a tag command causes a set of loops to be saved, but it does NOT put a tag on the video. Each loop is saved as a separate, untagged clip. How loops are defined You may have noticed that the saved clip isnt always aligned exactly the same way with the clip. This is because of the way the Loop Record Mode captures the loop clips. 61 STREAM User Manual When the STREAM begins recording using the Loop Record Mode, it gets the Loop Record Time30 seconds in this exampleand begins recording a segment of that length. When that segment is complete, it is saved temporarily, and another segment is started. The drawings show the time line divided into 30 second chunks which correspond to the recorded segments for this example. When you a tag command is sent to save a loop, the STREAM saves the entire segment youre in right now plus the segment that immediately precedes it and the segment that follows it. This means that if you a tag command is sent just after something exciting happens, you will capture what happened immediately before the tag. When using the Loop Record Mode, you dont need to anticipate whats going to happen in order to catch everything. Loop lets you catch things after the fact. Because the Loop Record Mode also saves the segment immediately following the current segment, if you hit tag near the end of the current clip you will still get one entire segment following your TAG. NOTE: Each time you send a tag command, the STREAM saves four separate clips. One clip for the segment preceding the current segment, one clip for the current segment, one clip for the segment following the current segment, and an XML file for the tag which created the clips. Each of these is stored as a regular clip file. Nine clip files result from the example above. Also note that there are no entries in the tags directory. Loop & Forward is a combination of the Loop and Clip methods. When you start recording video is captured, but none of it is saved until the first time you send a tag command. At that point, the STREAM saves a loop just as it would in Loop, but from that point forward, all video is saved, as it would be when using Clip. Loop & Forward Method 2 min 4 min 6 min 8 min 10 min Start Recording tag at 00:02:06 tag at 00:05:54 tag at 00:07:50 Stop Recording Once you have sent a Tag command to start saving captured video, sending a Tag command again adds a tag to the clip, again as it would if you were using clip. Loop & Forward allows you to record using the Clip method, without starting the clip until the actions start. You can get everything set up, and get yourself over to the starting line without the need to record fifteen minutes of waiting time which youre going to want to edit out later anyway. When the starting gun is about to sound, send a tag to the camera and real recording starts. Notice that when you do start to capture video, some of the preceding action is captured just as it is when using the Loop method. This helps ensure that you capture all the action even if you dont remember to hit Tag until right after the start. Just remember to set the Loop Record Time to a large enough interval to make sure youre covered. NOTE: Loop and forward creates two clip files, one for the segment immediately preceding the current segment and one for the current segment plus all of the remaining video. Two clip files, the XML tag file, and the two tag clip files result from the example in the Loop & Forward illustration. 62 STREAM User Manual The first clip file in the DCIM directory is the segment that precedes the first tag, and the second clip file which starts 30 seconds later is for the remainder of the video. Notice that there are two tag files. The first time a tag command is sent it started the storage of the video but did not create a tag clip. The second and third time a tag command is sent it did create tag clip files and they are associated with the second main clip file. All three of the tags are recorded in the XML tag file. Choosing a Record Mode Clip Loop and Loop & Forward provide advantages under some circumstances, but generally, recording using the Clip method is the simplest and most effective approach. Using tags while recording with the Clip method allows you to identify significant events in the video. These tags or book marks may be used for manual editing at this time. For any recording that will last only a few minutes, there is no reason to use any method other than Clip. Loop & Forward Loop & Forward allows you to get set recording, but allows you to limit your pre-event video to just that video prior to the initial tag. It guarantees a minimum amount of pre-event video. This feature uses the loopforwardtime to determine how much pre-event video to keep. Loop Every time you send the tag command through the Web Programmable HTTP/XML interface, you will end up with a short clip that captures the action near that tag along with the previous loop clip and the following loop clip if they exist. Optimizing video quality Ultimately video quality is in the eye of the beholder. We can measure and adjust clarity, color accuracy, color depth, white balance, contrast, and all kinds of other things to make the video you take to look as good as possible to you and your friends. The STREAM includes both automatic controls that ensure high quality video under a wide variety of shooting conditions and manually adjustable settings for tweaking video quality. One of the most difficult problems with hands-free POV video is that the scene youre filming changes continuously and since you may be busy hanging on and going as fast as you can, the camera needs to take care of the second to second details. The STREAM has built-in dynamic exposure control and white balance logic that constantly adjusts, not just the exposure, but the white balance, contrast level, and color depth as well. Under almost any outdoor shooting conditions this results in high quality video. The STREAM adds four settings that give you the optional ability to tweak the frame processing logic to create an optimal match between prevailing conditions and your preferences for the look of the final video. You can shoot high quality video all day without ever thinking about these settings, but under certain conditions, using the video adjustment settings can produce even better results. With just a bit of practice even a novice can learn when and how to make beneficial adjustments. If youre familiar with the adjustments available on a DSLR still camera, you will already know about these settings. Exposure Zone The dynamic exposure control logic works by analyzing the light level and other key characteristics of the image in frames as their captured by the camera head, and then adjusting the exposure level of the imager in the camera head to compensate for changes in light levels. When you ride from sunlight into shade, the STREAM will automatically increase the exposure level to compensate. By default, the dynamic exposure control logic looks at all the pixels in the frame, which is referred to as full-frame exposure zone. Full frame exposure zone is generally the best overall strategy, but under some shooting conditions this approach requires possibly undesirable compromises because different areas of the scene may have significantly differing lighting. The solution to this is to measure the light level on just the area of greatest 63 STREAM User Manual interest to ensure that it is recorded optimally, allowing peripheral areas to possibly be somewhat over or under exposed. Spot Exposure Zone uses just the area in the center area of the frame for measuring the light level. Under conditions where the light levels in various parts of the frame vary greatly over time, this ensures that the area in the center of the frame which is normally the area of greatest interest, will be optimally exposed and balanced. For example, on a ride through dark woods on a bright day, you will move in and out of shadow, and bright patches of sunlit sky will appear at various places on the frame at random times, possibly even when most of the scene is in dark shadow. Using the Spot exposure window will prevent these peripheral bright areas and very deep shadows from having any unwanted influence on the exposure control applied to the cameras view of trail immediately ahead of you. Exposure Time Exposure Time allows you to shift the exposure level up or down from the level determined by the dynamic exposure control logic. Exposure time settings provide exposure flexibility similar to manual adjustment of the f-stop settings on a DSLR camera. Exposure Compensation can be to values in the range 5 to 120 micro seconds. A setting of 5 microseconds will allow very little light into the sensor and may be under exposed or very dark, depending on your setting. A setting of 120 microseconds will allow maximum light into the sensor and may be over exposed or washed out, depending on your setting. Exposure Compensation is most useful under extreme lighting conditions. On a very bright day, with the sun high in the sky, when shooting over snow or open water, the recorded scene may be too bright and may look washed out and lacking rich colors as a result. Adjusting Exposure time down will reduce the exposure and can provide better color contrast and a richer look. In this case, you might also choose Spot exposure zone so that if the sun gets into the top of the frame, it doesnt cause radical changes in the automatic metering. On the other hand, if the sun is low in the sky and you are generally headed toward it, the sun may get nearer to the center of the frame, and when it does, its brightness will override the rest of the scene, making everything else too dark. Setting Exposure Time to a higher level (even though this may seem backward) will provide better exposure for things in the foreground. The sun will be overexposed no matter what you do, so in this case you need to adjust for the things you want to see more clearly. Noise Filter The Noise Filter can reduce the amount of noiseunwanted small spots or specklingin the frame. Speckling is especially apparent when shooting in very low light which requires maximum exposure levels. The Noise Filter is either on or off. When it is on it removes small specks and reduces larger ones on a frame by frame basis. The default is ON. The Noise Filter is most appropriate when shooting in low light, especially if you are using Exposure Compensation to add exposure to the shot. Under those conditions, speckling can become intrusive. Noise Filtering also increases the amount of footage that can be stored on a given Micro SDHC card, because, by eliminated random spots of color, it makes it possible to achieve a high level of compression without reducing video quality. Sharpener The Sharpener enhances clarity by selectively increasing contrast along the edges of objects in the frame. The Sharpener is either on or off. The default is ON. 64 STREAM User Manual Sharpening is most appropriate in lighting conditions that create a flat look to the frame because of lower than normal contrast. Gray overcast skies, deep shade, or indoors with indirect lighting can create this kind of situation. Sharpening does not affect video compression, so the video file size will be roughly the same with sharpening turned on or turned off. Sharpening should be turned off if you intend to edit the video on a computer after shooting because the adjustments made to the images by the sharpening process may interact poorly with other effects applied in later editing. Image Quality / Data Rate When captured video is saved to the Micro SDHC card, the video data is compressed in order to significantly reduce the required amount of space on the card. The more that digital video is compressed the more likely it is that on playback a viewer may notice some loss of fine detail, general sharpness, or other effects. Whether or not higher compression produces any noticeable effects depends upon on number of factors:
what is being shot, lighting conditions, rapidity of movement, and other things. In addition, compression effects are much less likely to be noticed if the video is played back in a smaller format. If you play back your video in a window on a personal computer or downsize it for uploading to YouTube or some other sharing site, higher compression is much less of a consideration than if your target is play back on a large, full resolution HD television screen. Higher compression is really only a consideration if you are shooting video that may overrun the capacity of your Micro SDHC card or the bandwidth of your Wi-Fi or streaming connection. The best way to determine what is for you the best tradeoff between file sizes and picture quality is to try it and see. Record some video at the default data rates and then some similar video using higher or lower data rates. This testing will give the most reliable results if you do it under conditions that are like the conditions where you do most of your shooting. Micro SDHC card choices The STREAM captures high quality HD video and is capable of recording at a high bit rate. Because of this VIO recommends minimum Micro SDHC card classes for use in the STREAM. The class of a Micro SDHC card should be printed on the card label, and should be on the Micro SDHC cards packaging or catalog description. The Micro SDHC card class is normally displayed like this:
For recording video at Image Quality levels up to 12 Mbits/sec, use Class 6 or higher Micro SDHC cards. The card class does not guarantee a minimum throughput rate, so as the card gets full if you are dropping frames, you may want to switch to a faster card. Each vendors performance may vary so when in doubt, go with well-known card brands (such as Sandisk) and higher card class capability. For recording video at Image Quality levels any higher than 12Mbits/sec use Class 10 or higher Micro SDHC cards. These higher data rates may work up to 13 Mbits/sec. The STREAM has been tested with Micro SDHC cards from SanDisk and Lexar. Other brands with the appropriate class level should work as well, but have not been verified by VIO in this device. The Stream has more streaming capabilities, and if you are having an issue with frames dropping, consider turning off your simultaneous streaming video when recording at your more challenging data rates. 65 STREAM User Manual Overlay The overlay settings give the integrator the freedom to choose the overlay options they would like. Text height options include 24 pixels, 48 pixels, and 96 pixels. The overlay requires an x pixel location, y pixel location and an overlay text pixel height. The x and y location indicate position to place text. The overlay functionality and API are being finalized and more detail will be available soon. 66 STREAM User Manual Camera Access Accessing the stream is as simple as connecting to its Wi-Fi signal and sending it commands through a browser or the HTTP/XML interface. This open interface also means that if you are on a shared network, anyone else with access to your local network can also connect to your camera and view your streaming video or send commands. To help protect access to the camera, we have provided a user id and password. Once the user id and password are set, all requests to the camera must first be authenticated. Removing the user id and password are as simple as entering an empty string for the user id and password. In addition, if you are using Wi-Fi, you may wish to change the default password to something you create, however, once this is done, you will need to remove your Wi-Fi camera profile and re-connect with the new password. Battery Choices The STREAM battery end cap uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. It is a 3.7 Volt, 1800 mA battery and it should be used only with a compatible battery charger. It is designed to last roughly 2 hours of battery life, however, this will vary based on settings (higher resolution and data rate will have lower battery life). Please contact us if you have other battery life needs. Other batteries may be used with the USB end cap. Many USB batteries are available commercially. The Stream should work with batteries that have a 5V, 600 mA to 2 Amp Output. Each type of battery has advantages and disadvantages when used in the STREAM. The camera battery level indicators have been tailored to the battery provided in the battery end cap so other commercial batteries would need evaluation for battery level detection/reporting. As with all Lithium batteries, the Streams Lithium Ion battery has a limited temperature range. Battery Details:
Limited charge voltage: 4.2 V Charge time: 6 Hours Standard charging: 0.2C, 360 mA Rated battery voltage: 3.7 V Rated capacity: 1800 mAH Max Charge Current: 1800 mA Max discharge current Continuous1800 mA Discharging temperature: -10~60 Weight: Approx 40 g Cycle life: 300 times, capacity80%
Charging temperature: 0~45 Troubleshooting USB device not recognized If you are using a Stream with the USB end cap, and it is not being recognized, please check the following items:
Is the RNDIS/Ethernet gadget driver set up properly to talk to 172.16.197.198 in your network settings?
Is your Stream connected to the USB 2.0 port and powered on (remember to wait about 25 seconds after power on to try to access the Stream and access it via 172.16.197.197). 67 STREAM User Manual RNDIS driver not found If an RNDIS driver is not found, you can usually find an RNDIS driver in one of the following places:
CDs for your Operating System Support web site for your operating system Streaming issues If you are having trouble viewing your stream on a viewer on your PC, Mac, or embedded system, try one of these things:
Try to use a lower streaming data rate through evaluation of the many sensor/recording/streaming data rate combinations. Try to increase the size of your cache if your viewer has this capability. Some viewers are better than others try an alternate viewer. Make sure that the sensor and streaming have been started and are both running. Recording issues If you are having a problem where your recording is stopping prior to your expected recording stop, please ensure that you are using a high end Micro SDHC card. SD card capabilities vary drastically between card vendors. Minimum card capabilities declared are often misleading, as they are measured/guaranteed only as clean card serial sector writes. Most file systems do not operate this way. Our recommendation is a minimum of a class 6 Micro SD card. If you are having issues, try a Class 10 card to determine if it your cards capability limitations. Streaming delays The streaming delay will vary from viewer to viewer, depending on the settings the viewer uses as a default for caching, etc. The free video players are continuously being updated. Multiple options exist, each with pros and cons. The camera stream delay is currently less than 2 seconds. Additional delay may be introduced by the viewer. As of this release, KM player performed well both with 1080p high data rate streams and had the least delays introduced with longer stream times. Access point connection issues Ensure that there are no Ethernet/Wi-Fi conflicts on your PC or Mac Check to make sure that if you are connecting to the camera as an access point, the Ethernet is not also connected to your computer. While this may work, it can sometimes cause confusion in the operating system causing loss of connection with the camera. Wi-Fi Client Mode connection issues Ensure that your SSID, password, and encryption type are correct. If any of this information is not correct, a connection will not be completed. Power Loss When power is abruptly lost (through yanking the battery / power during record), the file in progress will likely be recoverable at next power up, but may not be in all cases. In most cases, the power loss recovery code should recover most of the recording in progress. The last 1.5 minutes may be lost. Power loss recovery happens on the next power up. If a file is recoverable, it will be recovered at this time. 68 STREAM User Manual Compliance, Warranty, and Support FCC Compliance THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.

Your RMA number must be clearly marked on the OUTSIDE of the returned package. Packages returned without this RMA number will be refused. Once the RMA number has been assigned, it is important to return the Product within two weeks, otherwise the RMA number will become void and the parcel will be refused. You must obtain a new RMA if you are unable to make delivery to our address within two weeks.
