SOFTWARE

The POV.1.5 records its videos using MPEG4, so you can use your Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac computer to view them.

Mac:
Plug the POV.1.5 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.1.5 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.1.5 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.
