Openvision HD Software.
Power Cycling
Each OpenVision™ HD unit utilizes an embedded microprocessor to handle and coordinate all aspects of safety and normal
operating functions. With such a system, it requires several seconds to initialize before starting normal operations. Following
the Startup and Shutdown sequences below is critical for normal operation; (Figure 1) for key and indicator locations.
Startup
When the Controller Key is turned to its ON position, the CPU indicator will immediately turn on (green). A boot up screen
will be displayed during initialization, and the System Status Indicators will also illuminate. When these indicators turn green
and the Home Screen (Figure 2) is displayed, system startup is complete and ready for normal operation.
Shutdown
Turning the Controller Key to its OFF position will begin the shutdown sequence. The Status Indicator Lights will turn off
after one to three seconds, but the system will not be fully powered down until the CPU Power Indicator LED is turned off.
Once off, remove the key, and place the unit in storage. No additional cool down is required.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO PROPERLY SHUTDOWN MAY CORRUPT INTERNAL MEMORY,
AND UNIT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESTART.
Home Screen
The Home Screen (Figure 2) displays the output of the targeting camera (outlined in red) and the Settings menu across the
bottom (outlined in yellow).

Video Capture
Like snapshots, videos can be recorded from either the Home Screen (targeting camera image) or the X-Ray Live Image
Screen (X-Ray image). Videos are taken by pressing and holding the Snapshot Button for at least two seconds. Within one
second, the system will commence recording video, indicated by a notification 'Recording in progress...' appearing in the
upper right-hand corner of the display (Figure 11). After two seconds, the operator can release the capture button. When
the button is pressed again, the recording stops and is automatically saved to internal storage in MPEG4 video format.
Figure 11 X-Ray Video Recording in Progress
Custom Naming Media Files
Media Files (video and snapshots) can be given a name of choice to act as an identifier that will display within the image. A
filename can be set before recording images, and videos. The name will increment numerically as more images are
captured. (Ex: “Image1”, “Image2”,etc.). This allows for the creation a collection of image captures in an alpha-numerical
sequence to identify a select body of work.
To set a Custom Naming sequence, press right on the toggle switch for five seconds. A keyboard menu will appear on the
monitor (Figure 12). Use the toggle switch to navigate to the desired letter/number. Press the Snapshot button to select
each character. When finished, select “Apply”. The monitor will then return to the main screen. The system is now ready
to record Images/Videos with the custom name. When the system is shutdown the filename sequence will return to its
default value.

Video Playback
(System Info Screen, Figure 13) brings up the Playback Selection Screen (Figure 14). Image directories
(if any) are shown on this screen, labeled by date. Newest directories are displayed first. Selecting the on-screen
button shows additional folders (if any). Select desired folder to view playback videos or images. As always, the Snapshot
Button (Figure 9) actuates on-screen buttons/folders.
Left/right hat switch positions navigate between images/videos within an image folder. The hat switch’s down position exits
image playback mode.
The organization of images on the OpenVision HD is by directories that are named with a date stamp of the format
'YYYYMMDD'. If the directory does not exist at the point the first snapshot for the day is taken, the directory will be
automatically created. Images within the directory are named in the format 'YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.png' to ensure that
unique names are created for each image taken.
Figure 14 Playback Selection Screen
USB Drive Configuration for Media Transfer
USB drives must be configured before images/videos can be transferred from the OpenVision HD system. A properly
configured USB drive includes an 'ov2' directory at the drive’s top-level, and an 'images' directory within the 'ov2' directory
(see Figure 15). Unless these directories are on the USB drive as indicated, the software will not transfer images/videos.
CAUTION: TO ENSURE THAT THE USB DRIVE DOES NOT BECOME CORRUPTED, ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE
SYSTEM TRANSITIONS BACK TO THE HOME SCREEN (Figure 2) BEFORE REMOVING THE USB DRIVE FROM
