MiniCam; text display

Problem/Question

How can the operator make sure project bar, section data and OSD objects (i.e. distance, date/time, inclination, view direction etc.) are properly displayed on the video screen when working with a MiniCam mobile equipment?

Solution/Answer

There are two ways of doing a survey with a MiniCam mobile equipment:

1.) Camera equipment connected to video card only

  • Video signal transmitted

  • Text display fully controlled by MiniCam (as shown below)

2.) Camera equipment connected to video card and to computer via RS232 cable

  • Video signal transmitted

  • Text display partially controlled by WinCanVX. The display of some OSD objects (e.g. view direction) however is not supported.
