The POV.1 is a fully integrated point-of-view (POV) video system that's
waterproof, dustproof and shock-resistant. The system includes a
mountable camera head, built-in video recorder, wireless remote and
software for managing your point-of-view videos.
The new wide-angle POV.1 opens up the
viewing screen dramatically: creating a wider, more stable
point-of-view experience for the users. The new imaging head offers a
100 degree field of view, nearly 30 degrees more than the standard
imaging head on the first generation POV.1. See detailed optics below.

SOFTWARE
The POV.1 records its videos using MPEG4, so you can use your Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac computer to view them.
Mac:
Plug the POV.1 into a USB port or insert the SD card into a card reader
in your computer. After a simple installation of quicktime components
for MPEG-4, you'll be able to browse all of the videos, view them
through Quicktime, and edit them in iMovie!
PC:
Install V.I.O.'s POV Manager software: simple, intuitive software that
allows you to view, edit, and share video easily. For example:
A ?POV Recorder? window shows thumbnails of videos saved on the
connected POV.1, and a ?POV Library? window shows thumbnails of videos
stored on your hard drive.
Drag and drop video clips from the POV Recorder to the POV Library
to move them between the POV.1 and your computer, or drag onto a play
area to play them back in either actual size or full screen.
See tags on the timeline during playback, and extract clips to the ?Storyboard? window to quickly edit your video.
Use the ?Share? function to email your clips and upload them to V.I.O. where they can be seen by your friends.
System requirements:
USB 2.0 port or SD card reader
Windows: Microsoft Windows XP or Vista and a CD-ROM drive
Macintosh: Macintosh OS X 10.4.7 or higher
V.I.O. releases frequent updates to it?s POV Manager software, which is
free to all POV.1 customers. Upcoming features will include titling,
audio overlays, transition effects, and a version for Mac.
