NEW FROM VIO!! The Brand spanking new and shiny POV 1.5 Camera

Mac:
Plug the POV.1 into a USB port or insert the SD card into a card reader in your computer. After a simple installation of quicktime components for MPEG-4, you'll be able to browse all of the videos, view them through Quicktime, and edit them in iMovie!

Install V.I.O.'s POV Manager software: simple, intuitive software that allows you to view, edit, and share video easily. For example:

• A “POV Recorder” window shows thumbnails of videos saved on the connected POV.1, and a “POV Library” window shows thumbnails of videos stored on your hard drive.
• Drag and drop video clips from the POV Recorder to the POV Library to move them between the POV.1 and your computer, or drag onto a play area to play them back in either actual size or full screen.
• See tags on the timeline during playback, and extract clips to the “Storyboard” window to quickly edit your video.
• Use the “Share” function to email your clips and upload them to V.I.O. where they can be seen by your friends.

• USB 2.0 port or SD card reader
