LBV Video Overlay |
|
Each LBV system is supplied with an onscreen information display. Keeping track of the LBV or any ROV underwater without a tracking system can be a tricky task. By providing as much information as possible the ability to monitor the LBV iVs easier. The importance of having the information on the screen is to keep the operator from having to look away from the video and risk losing positi on.
The Video Overlay is a character generated display of information that is overlayed on the video. All the critical information is provided including depth, heading, turns counter, camera angle indicator, thruster gain control, light level, water temperature, date and time. The default position for the overlay is on the bottom of the screen, however, using the Position button on the hand controller the overlay can be moved to the top of the screen or turned off.
In addition to the critical information displayed the video overlay also has a 28 character user programmable feature. This allows the operator to input the desired text such as job name. The text is displayed opposite the critical information.
The overlay also allows the operator to access the Programming menus. By pressing the PGRM key on the hand controller the operator can manipulate through the different menus including Quick Access, Setup, Calibrate, Diagnostics and Options. Following the on screen menus is simple with the hand controller keypad.
