Remote VideoEye™ Instruction Manual
Introduction
The PixController Remote VideoEye™ is a wireless remote triggering device to control any Sony
or Canon camcorders with the LANC editing port. The Remote VideoEye™ consists of a small
waterproof box with a receiving antenna and LANC port for connecting your user supplied
compatible camcorder. Wireless commands to power "on" your camcorder and start "recording"
can be sent via the included handheld SlimFire remote control unit. Commands to stop the
camcorder recording and power it down are also sent via the SlimFire remote, and command for
controlling the camcorder zoom functions are also possible via remote wireless commands.
The Remote VideoEye™ is perfect for capturing video without needing another camera man.
Filming wildlife documentaries or hunting videos will now take on a whole new and exciting angle.
You can now film "never before seen" angles of your hunt or wildlife documentary. Imagine a
video camera setup from ground angle filming the shot from a tree stand all controlled from the
hunter or camera man in the tree stand? Remote VideoEye™ units are also addressable, which
means you can control several Remote VideoEye™ camcorders units independently in one
setup.
There is no limit to the number of Remote VideoEye™ camcorder unit that can be used at one
time. Several system can be setup at one time and will all set to record with a simple press of the
button with the included SlimFire remote control unit. Remote VideoEye™ can also be triggered
via the X10 wireless PIR motion sensor. Imaging capturing footage of a trophy buck walking into
your setup from angle never before possible. Adding this type of footage to your hunting video or
wildlife documentary will set you apart from others!
