VideoRay Cockpit Software Installation
VideoRay Cockpit is installed at the factory on new Pro 4 systems. VideoRay Cockpit does not need to be
installed unless the software has been deleted, or the software is being installed on a new computer.
VideoRay installation software components are stored on the computer in the
folder,
C:\VideoRay\Installs\
and the latest versions are available online at:
http://download.videoray.com/
or through their respective
vendors' websites.
The VideoRay Pro 4 control panel requires the installation of a serial communications hardware driver and a
video capture hardware driver on the computer. These hardware drivers can be found on the local machine or
online in the above referenced areas.
In addition, the VideoRay Cockpit application requires the following prerequisite software: .Net Framework 4,
DirectX and SlimDX. There are two versions of the installation package. One package includes the full installation
has the prerequisites included, and one does not. If the software is being installed on a computer for the first
time, the package with the prerequisites must be used. If VideoRay Cockpit has been installed previously, the
package without the prerequisites can usually be used. In some cases there may be updates to the prerequisite
requirements, and they will need to be updated.
The installation package with the prerequisites is typically much larger and takes much more time to
download than the version without the prerequisites. If you are downloading software and do not need the
prerequisites, use the installation package that does not include the prerequisites.
First Time Installation
If the computer has never had VideoRay Cockpit installed, the hardware drivers and the full installation package
are required.
The drivers and application installation packages should be copied to the computer on which VideoRay Cockpit
is to be installed. Once copied, unzip each package and run the setup program. Follow the prompts to complete
the installation of the topside software.
Once the topside software is installed, the firmware and systems tuning parameters on the ROV will need to be
updated. Continue the installation process by following steps 5 - 7 in the
Software Updates
section of this
guide.
