Capturing video on the front line
Tuesday, 11 September, 2007
Already sold in hundreds to the US armed forces, V.I.O.’s new helmet camera is featured on Stand 909A. Shown mounted on a soldier’s helmet, the POV.1 is dust, shock and waterproof, unaffected by driving rain or immersion in water up to 1m deep.
Soldiers deployed to the Gulf region have found its high-performance durability and ability to withstand extreme temperatures very useful. The POV.1 is making its debut here and will showcase the benefits of seamlessly integrating camera, microphone, and recorder in single-handed operation with a wireless remote control. V.I.O. developed the helmet camera to answer military demands for rugged, wearable video technology.
The system weighs less than 500g and the recorder is smaller than most TV remote controls. After initial setup, users will be able to shoot video with POV.1, review their work seconds later on the colour LCD and within minutes make it available online via their PC. The system uses an advanced CMOS video sensor with a global electronic shutter, which offers the improved light handling capabilities of a higher, broader, dynamic range and also demands less power. Consequently the POV.1 can record hours of video on four AA batteries.
