Retrieving Video Files From Controller - Robotex AVATAR II User Manual

5) Recording Video Files from Controller
A) Recording Video
1) To start recording video, press the onscreen "REC" icon in the bottom left hand
corner of the touchscreen. The red circle icon should light up and start flashing.
Follow the onscreen prompt to begin recording. Note: Audio level in the recording
is controlled by the level of audio on the controller.
2) When you've finished recording, press the "REC" onscreen button again to end any
ongoing recording sessions (if "REC" is red and has a flashing red circle next to it,
then the robot is still recording video). Follow the onscreen prompt to stop
recording. At this stage, the controller may take some time to process and store the
video file to internal memory.
B) Transferring Files from Controller to USB Drive
3) Insert USB flash drive into controller's USB port. Note: 16GB size recommended.
4) Follow prompts on screen. You will see two prompts, one after the other.
a. "Transfer Video files?" – Prompts you to transfer the video files from the
controller's internal memory to the USB stick. Hit "yes" to transfer or "no"
to save transfer for later date.
b. "Delete local backup?" – Asks if you want to clear the controller's internal
memory. Hit "yes" to clear and "no" to keep video stored internally for
transfer at a later date. NOTE: It is recommended you delete local backup
after each time you transfer video to a USB stick.
5) Follow the onscreen prompts and wait for video transfer to complete. Remove USB
flash drive when prompted.
6) Video files are now on USB flash drive. Plug the USB flash drive into a computer to
view or download the video files.
7) NOTE: Depending on the setup of your video player program, you may need to
download VLC Media Player to play the video files. Visit
contact your RoboteX Account Manager for help downloading and installing VLC
media player.
