The wireless network conguration for the Cube is completed
over the initial Bluetooth connection. Once the wireless
conguration is complete, the Cube and host device are WiFi
paired. All Onsight data communication between the Cube and
host device is over the wireless network.
The options for the Cube’s wireless connection includes:
• WiFi-Direct
• Wireless Infrastructure
Wi-Fi DIRECT - Android
Wi Direct is a Peer to Peer connection between the Cube and
your Android host device. When using Android devices, this is
the preferred method for most situations, e.g., the Cube is used
as a wearable device. (Note: the Cube does not support WiFi
Direct with iOS at this time, see WiFi Infrastructure.)
•The Cube automatically receives its Wi Direct
conguration from your BT paired host device.
• Press ‘Connect’ when the ‘Invitation to Connect’ appears.
The connection status will be GREEN.
• You will hear a voice prompt ‘WiFi connected’.
•Once Wi paired, the Cube is automatically selected as the
video source.
• The Cube will automatically WiFi pair with that host device
the next time you log in to Onsight Connect.
Wi-Fi PAIR WITH AN ONSIGHT CUBE
DIRECT Wi-Fi - iOS
Direct Wi-Fi is a Peer to Peer connection between the Cube and
your iOS host device. When using iOS devices, this is the preferred
method for most situations, e.g., the Cube is used as a wearable
device. However, when the Cube is connected to Direct Wi-Fi
with an iOS device, the iOS device must use a cellular connection
in order to place Onsight Calls. The iOS device’s Wi-Fi network
connects directly to the Cube and is not available for use as an
internet connection.
•The Cube automatically receives its Direct Wi-Fi conguration
from your BT paired iOS host device.
• Press ‘Connect’ when the ‘Invitation to Connect’ appears. The
connection status will be GREEN.
• You will hear a voice prompt ‘Wi-Fi connected’.
•Once Wi paired, the Cube is automatically selected as the
video source.
• The Cube will automatically Wi-Fi pair with that host device the
next time you log in to Onsight Connect.

See Wi-Fi PAIR WITH AN ONSIGHT CUBE for details on manually
conguring the wireless connection.
• You will hear a voice prompt ‘Wi-Fi connected’.
• Once Wi-Fi paired, the Cube is automatically selected as the
video source.
• The Cube will automatically Wi-Fi pair with that host device the
next time you log in to Onsight Connect.
Wi-Fi INFRASTRUCTURE
Wi-Fi Infrastructure is a manually congured wireless connection
between the Cube and your network infrastructure, e.g., Access
Point or Hot Spot.
The Cube must be connected to the same network as your host
device.
• Once BlueTooth pairing has completed, select Wi-Fi-Status.
• Select the network you want the Cube to connect
with from the Available Networks list. This must
be the same network to which your host device is
connected.
• Enter the password for the network and press
Join.
• You will hear a voice prompt ‘Wi-Fi connected’.
• Once paired, the Cube is automatically selected as the video
source.
• The Cube will automatically Wi-Fi pair with that host device
the next time you log in to Onsight Connect. The Cube and host
device must be on the same network.
The Cube will remain Wi-Fi paired to the Host as long as they are on
the same network with each other. They will automatically Wi-Fi pair
to each other whenever they are on the same network.
If the Cube is not currenlty Wi-Fi paired to a host, it is available to
BT pair with another host device running Onsight Connect. The
Cube may be BT paired to multiple host devices, but a host device
may only be BT/Wi-Fi paired to a single Cube. Use Settings-Forget
Pairing to unpair with a Cube.

2. The Cube is recording video in stand alone mode.
To make sure the Cube’s Mic is enabled and capturing sound,
conrm the following Settings are enabled in the Connect app.
Bandwidth Control - Preferred Codecs
Cube Audio is active only when Subject Audio is enabled by the
Onsight Connect App. Set the Bandwidth Control - Preferred Codecs
as follows to enable Cube Audio.
• Subject Audio: Default (G.711) or Low Bit Rate (GSM).
CUBE AUDIO
This section describes how to congure and control Cube Audio
while in an Onsight Call. The Cube’s Mic is the sound source for the
video audio track. Your host device’s microphone is the sound source
for the voice audio track.
Viewer Window - Audio Control
Cube Audio can only be heard when Subject Audio is enabled
by the Onsight Connect App. When streaming Cube Video or
playing back a Cube recording, you can control the playback
Audio in the Viewer Window. Use Playback Audio to mute/
unmute the Cube Audio.
• Playback Audio - when streaming video or watching
a recording, this option will mute/unmute the audio
coming from the video stream or recording. You will
still hear the main Conversation Audio.
Client Policy - Audio Control
Your OPM Administrator may control your Subject Audio
settings by using a Client Policy. The Client Policy is applied
whenever you are logged in to your Onsight client app.
Cube Audio Troubleshooting
If your call participants are unable to hear Cube Audio when in
a call check your Settings to conrm Subject Audio is enabled.
If not, enable Subject Audio. You may need to contact your
OPM Admin to get permissions to edit the settings.
If you are receiving video from a Cube user in a call and cannot
hear Cube Audio conrm Playback Audio is not muted in the
Viewer window’s Audio settings.
CUBE IMAGES AND VIDEO
When paired with a host device, the Cube supports specic
resolutions depending on the video mode: Optical or Thermal.
If a media conguration is chosen that does not include a
resolution supported by the Cube then the closest resoution
supported by the Cube will be used.

• Fusion: Thermal imager including object edge detection
CUBE CONTROL IN AN ONSIGHT CALL
This section describes how to control the Cube while in an Onsight
Call.
CUBE FUNCTIONS
Press the Cube button on the control bar to access
the Cube functions.
Spot Temperature
When in Thermal or Fusion modes, tap
and hold the Viewnder to place the spot
temperature indicator on a location.
Fusion
Fusion enhances Thermal images by applying edge detection
to objects. For the best edge detection alignment of the thermal
image, objects of interest should be the the point of focus. Tap the
Viewnder to focus on the object.
The focus region will be shown on the Viewnder while the camera
is focusing.
Use the slider to manually align the edge with the thermal image
when focusing on the object of interest is difcult.
Note that closer objects, 20 cm or less, may cause the upper portion
of the eld of view to appear misaligned. Keep the object of interest
in the center of the screen for the best alignment. Use the slider to
make manual adjustments.
Zoom
Press the Zoom button to adjust between 1X and 3X Optical Zoom.
Note: Optical Zoom is not supported when using Thermal or Fusion
modes. You may use pinch gestures to digitally scale and pan the
Thermal image.
TIP: To align close objects with edge detection, tap and hold the
Viewnder to place the spot temperature indicator on the object of
interest.
Temperature
To select the Temperature display when in Thermal or Fusion
modes, tap the Spot Temperature button to toggle between Celcius
or Fahrenheit.
Focus
The Cube will auto focus on the center of the Viewnder when the
Cube is the video source. Objects can not be closer than 10 cm ( or
4 inches).
In Fusion mode with Spot Temperature enabled, the Cube will focus
on the location of the Spot Temperature placement.
Image Capture
When the Cube is the video source, image capture is dependent on
its selected video mode. The optical camera will capture images up
to a maximum resolution of 13MP. The thermal imager will capture
images up to VGA.
Laser
To enable the Laser pointer press the Laser button.
Emissivity
This setting adjusts the thermal imager’s temperature reading
based on an object’s ability to emit heat (thermal energy). Select the
setting which best describes the object’s surface:
•Matte (dull, at, not shiny)
• Semi-Matte (dull with a slight shine)
• Semi-Gloss (more shine than Semi-Matte)
• Gloss (shiny)
TIP: When the Cube is disconnected from a host device, the Onsight
Connect application will automatically switch back to the host’s
internal camera as the video source.
Selecting the Cube as the Video Source
Press the Video Source button to change between Cube, Cube
Thermal and Cube Fusion as the video source.
• Cube: Video - VGA, QVGA, D1, 720p and1080p 30fps
• Thermal: Thermal imager - VGA, QVGA
• Fusion: Thermal imager including object edge detection
Thermal
Thermal mode enables the Cube’s thermal imager producing
images based on object temperature differences. See the Thermal
Images section for details. .
