11. What do I need to view digital video from the P7030EPVA or P7030RKT?
The P7030RRS is a tablet PC fully configured for connection to a camera. However, if it is desired
to use a different computer or existing hardware, the following should be suitable:
• A full desktop PC, laptop PC or a Tablet/Portable PC.
• RTSP stream compatible player, such as the ATEME player supplied.
• Suitable operating systems are Windows XP (SP2 preferred), Vista or XP Embedded
(Tablets).
• Computers running Windows 2000 are also likely to function correctly although networking
set-up will differ from this manual and may not be totally robust.
• Updated Direct X video drivers may be required depending on player software used.
Tablet PCs may struggle to run the more heavyweight players; MPlayer may be preferred in these
devices.
12. What do I need to view digital video from the P7030VC?
• A full desktop PC, laptop PC or a Tablet/Portable PC.
• Suitable operating systems are Windows XP (SP2+ preferred), Vista or XP Embedded
(Tablets).
• Computers running Windows 2000 and even 98 are also likely to function correctly.
• Updated Direct X video drivers may be required depending on player software used.
Tablet PCs may struggle to run the more heavyweight players; MPlayer may be preferred in these
devices.
13. Can I view the camera on a television?
The digital output cannot be viewed on a television. The only way to connect digital video into a
television would be by using a ‘TV Out’ function on a computer.
The analogue video signal from the camera or LRT receiver may be displayed on a television or
via a video recorder by using video inputs. The connector on such devices is usually an RCA
phono socket and coloured yellow and labelled ‘AV in’ or similar, or via an adaptor into a SCART
socket. The camera does not connect to the antenna socket.
14. How do I record video?
The video recording battery pack allows recording directly from any camera as described in
section 7. Alternatively, the various players described above in FAQ 10 have differing levels of
recording capability to the computers’ memory, hard drive or a network.
A conventional ‘TV’ based video recorder can record the analogue video signal from the camera or
LRT receiver by using video inputs. The connector on such devices is usually an RCA phono
socket and coloured yellow and labelled ‘AV in’ or similar. The camera does not connect to the
antenna socket and the video is NTSC 60 Hz standard.
15. Can I change the antennas on the transmitter?
Changing the transmitter antenna may cause an infringement of regulatory requirements. The
transmitter antenna should only be replaced with an equivalent item sourced through your e2v
distributor or the factory.
