  • Page 3: System Overview

    It has four HDMI inputs, and includes a small high-resolution 15.6” touch screen monitor with built-in prop stand, so you can set the VDEPO chassis at your feet and have only the monitor on the table. Available optional accessories include a tiny HD camera that also sits on the table on a miniature tripod mount, format converters for laptops and tablets, low-cost, high-quality document cameras, lavaliere and tabletop microphones;...
  • Page 4: Move And Resize Pip Windows

    MOVE AND RESIZE PiP WINDOWS A unique point of difference with VDEPO is the ability to move and resize the deponent’s PiP window in real-time. You can adjust the position as necessary, when necessary, based on the content of the background image currently selected.
  • Page 5: Connecting Your System

    For different PiP placement and/or aspect ratio, click on your choice of display position for the deponent’s PiP image. Input 1 on the VDEPO workstation is ALWAYS the camera used for the deponent. Inputs 2 – 4 display the associated input content behind the deponent’s PiP image.
  • Page 6: Select The Recording Bit Rate

    Select the Recording Bit Rate The choices in the dropdown menu are 10, 15 or 20 Mbps. Since MPEG compression is based on motion, you can generally use a lower bit rate (resulting in smaller files) since there isn’t a lot of motion in a deposition. If you’re going to be playing back video files or inputting a video source, a higher bit rate will reduce the ‘macroblocking’...

  • Page 8: Selecting An Output Display Format

    Enter text to search window. VDEPO uses a “full text” search engine similar to Google and others, so the resulting matching selections are reduced as each additional letter is entered.
  • Page 9: The Preview Window

    Note: A file ‘ripped’ from a DVD is called a VOB (Video Object) File. This is actually an MPEG-2 file, and will generally play reliably in the VDEPO playback engine. WARNING! There are thousands of video file formats in circulation, and not all of them are totally compatible with every video player.
  • Page 10: Converting Pdfs To Graphic Files

    PDF documents into files compatible for use and display with VDEPO. Following are a few links for your convenience. It is good practice to create a folder at the root of your D:\Media drive called ORIGINAL PDFs, and place the converted files in the Docs subfolder (D:\Media\Docs).
  • Page 11: Using The Audio Mixer

    “AUX” input. Use the dropdown menu to select from the displayed available sources. The line input on the VDEPO chassis can also be used as an AUX input, and is available in the dropdown menu.
  • Page 12: Recording A Vdepo Session

    ISO recording in the Configuration window. Note: If at any time you need to raise or lower the audio level coming into the VDEPO chassis, use the sliders for the respective inputs on the Audio Mixer panel. Click the SHOW AUDIO MIXER button to open the mixer and make the adjustments, and click HIDE AUDIO MIXER when you’re done.
  • Page 13: Managing Recorded Deposition Files

    • copy files to another destination using a network connection The VDEPO chassis has on-board Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, so you can connect a network cable from the chassis to any networked Ethernet router and set up Windows shared access rules according to your IT department or your own personal network access topology.
