i--SPEED LT, i--SPEED 2
Chapter 1 Introduction
The Olympus i-- SPEED LT, i-- SPEED 2 are self--contained high speed
video cameras. This means that it contains all the functionality required to
obtain high speed video and does not require the presence of a PC,
although PC connection is possible if required. The camera has been
designed to be used in two ways as follows:
Controller Display Unit
The Controller Display Unit (CDU) is available as an optional
accessory for the Olympus i-- SPEED 2
. This product displays the
image from the camera in real--time and permits the most flexible
use of the camera, by using a series of buttons around the outside
of the screen. The bottom seven buttons are used as “soft keys”,
that is, the function of each button is dependent on the text written
above it on the screen. The four buttons on the right hand side
have dedicated functions and these are Text, Back, Up and Down.
The menu system has been specially constructed to take maximum
advantage of this layout. CDU operation of the camera is
described in detail in Chapter 6
of this manual.
PC/Laptop Connection
The Olympus i-- SPEED 2 may be connected to a PC or laptop via
the Ethernet connector and an appropriate Ethernet network. In
this case, the unit is controlled from the PC / laptop and the image
is visible on the PC screen. This requires the PC to be running the
basic control program which is supplied on a CD ROM with the
camera. Upgrade options are available for the supplied software
and these provide additional functionality. Details of the upgrades
are available from Olympus representatives, see Chapter 10
Spares and Accessories. In Ethernet mode, all the functions of the
camera are available, but they are presented and controlled by the
PC software.
For details of the operation of this software, reference should be
made to the documentation supplied with the software. Information
regarding the camera, however, is contained in the Reference
sections of this manual.
