7.1 – Downloading data
SmartyCam allows to download data either via USB (connecting the camcorder to the PC
using the cable provided with the kit) either through the micro SD placed in the
SmartyCam rear, which will have to be inserted in the PC USB port. It is recommended to
use exclusively a 2.0 USB port.
Warning: when inserting/removing the Micro SD please make sure the flip on the
rear is firmly closed.

7.2 – Viewing SmartyCam videos
Videos recorded on SmartyCam micro SD are .avi files with H.264 codec and can be
seen both on PC and on TV.

7.2.1 – Viewing SmartyCam videos on the PC
To see the videos on a PC display just remove the micro SD from SmartyCam (only if
Micro SD icon is not red) place it in the reader (or in a portable one connected to the PC
like any USB pen drive) and manage it as an USB peripheral.
Videos are in “Video” folder.
It is reminded that – to see videos recorded with SmartyCam on the PC – a software
compatible with H.264 format is needed.
Were such software not available, it is recommended to use “VLC Media Player”,
which can be downloaded from www.videolan.org/vlc/.

7.2.2 – Viewing SmartyCam videos on the TV
To see SmartyCam videos on the TV ensure that the DVD reader is compatible with ”avi.”
Files with H.264 codec: otherwise the video file needs to be converted in a format
compatible with the available reader.
For example it is possible to transform the .avi file in a DVD, using a software like “Nero”
(version 8 or higher), Roxio or similar softwares.
In case the reader had no Micro SD input, it is necessary to copy the video on a DVD (or
even a CD) with a simple burning software.

Warning: it is strongly recommended not to open the camcorder.
