Hi all,
I just unpacked ny new V4 EZB and thought I'd shoot a video of what it looks loke up close and with all the plastic caseing taken off. I wanted to get ths posted last night but Youtube took forever to up load. Enjoy:
As per DJ's post #10 regarding the speaker, while I wait for the next video to upload here's a photo of the connection mentioned...
You may also look at the datasheet on the Learn section of the website - there is reference to the speaker connection. You can access the Learn section by selecting LEARN from the top menu of the website.
Part 2 of my first look at the V4. Again it's uncut, unrehearsed and I'm using a lot of the features for the first time.
As I said in the video, it is really impressive. I knew I was going to be impressed which raises the bar a lot to actually impress me but it's done it!
Probably the final video for tonight, part 3 of my first look/first play. Once again, uncut, unedited, unrehearsed...
Now all I need is a robot to put it on and give it a really good test
Good thing it's nearly the weekend!..
Frame rate is much higher than the V3 camera... very happy about that.... Wow Rich, you're nothing like I thought you would look like... I was picturing a young David Beckham....
What a relief....
higher framerate? HIGHER? Are you kidding Richard?! it's absolutely real-time!
There's 10ms delay or something ridiculously unmeasurable...
We spent nearly 2 months designing the camera, video codec and protocol to have close to ZERO latency as possible.
:D
So it was a little bit of an understatement... lol... bottom line it's light years ahead of the V3 camera... All that design work you did on the new camera really shows... kudos...
Oh man is it ever
Thank you! If you knew how many late nights we've had trying to increase the frame rate and decrease latency... I remember the first day we ever got a camera image displaying! It was a rat nest of wires on my desk... Probably around 3 AM... and there it was, projected on the wall... 3 frames per second!
Haha, 3 frames per second..
I also remember running calculations trying to get the image crisper and faster. There was a day I almost gave up. I told Jeremie and Alan that it might not be possible to do.
Running cameras at high frame rates isn't an issue - it's the zero latency that you'll never experience on other products. Cameras normally buffer and are seconds behind the live stream. We have zero latency - and that was a real challenge.
