Stay in Control with the Revi 550 Control Unit

Precision with Ease

The core functions are controlled by a pair of joysticks; the tractor drive by the left hand and pan, rotate, zoom, and focus by the right. The drive can be locked at any desired "cruising" speed by a thumb switch. The cable rewind motor and clutch are controlled semi-automatically by the action of the main drive. Joystick control of the main motor permits the drive to creep almost infinitely slowly in either forward or reverse and to arrive easily and exactly at any point of interest without having to juggle with separate speed, stop or direction controls.

A Computer System Made for the Job

At the heart of the system is the DigiCAN Light software running on a Windows PC. This produces MPEG recordings on a variety of media to suit the end user's requirements. All the familiar PC file management facilities are available at the click of a mouse. USB connectivity for external hard drives, memory card adaptors, printers or other devices and the on-board DVD burner make data distribution and backup easy. DigiCAN Light is used to generate on-screen text and graphics. A water resistant QWERTY keyboard built-in to the control desk allows text to be generated and overlaid on the picture either directly or from an almost limitless library of stored pages and lines of text.

DigiCAN Light displays distance and other data ion the picture in any region of the screen required. The software allows for pause/resume of the recording function whilst text is added or edited, permitting a finished survey video to be created as a single file without further editing. It also permits the capture of JPEG picture files at any point. A simple file naming and numbering feature is provided for easy file management. Plug-and-play compatibility with the Revi 250 push rod camera and a high brightness anti-glare 15” TFT screen complete the picture.
