7. Camera Setup

Tap this icon at the bottom left corner to set up the CC-360 APP.

7.1 Brightness (EV)

Change brightness of the target image by tapping the desired EV value.

Note that the image brightness is adjusted depending on settings of the gain value (ISO)
and shutter speed. If both ISO and shutter speed are set to constant values, the EV

option will be disabled. The EV option is enabled only when either ISO or shutter speed is set to

AUTO.

7.2 Stitching

There are three stitching modes available: Manual, Auto One Time and Auto Loop. Tap to
change the stitching mode.

Manual

Manual adjustment of stitching gap.

Auto One Time

The stitching gap is adjusted automatically once and the

setting remains unchanged regardless.

Auto Loop

The stitching gap is constantly being adjusted.

When in Manual Stitching Mode, tap this icon to allow the user to manually change the
stitching gap between lenses. Tap the icon to open two sliders as shown in the diagram
below. The exact stitching distances are shown on the right of the respective sliders.

16

This slider allows the user to adjust the lateral stitching gap, i.e. the gap

between the top and bottom images.

This slider allows the user to adjust the surrounding stitching gap.

• Note 1: Before using the stitching function, make sure the object shot is placed at least 60

centimeters from the camera lens.

• Note 2: Do not place the object at the junction of two lenses.

The diagram below illustrates how the image is changed after the stitching effect is applied.

7.3 Gain (ISO)

This option allows the user to adjust the image gain value. The larger the gain value, the
brighter the image. However, at high gain, the image will appear to be noisier. If ISO is
set to auto, the camera will adjust the gain based on the EV value set (see Section 7.1
for ways to configure EV).

7.4 Shutter Speed

Tap on this icon to open a list of available shutter speeds (exposure time) for selection.
High shutter speed (short exposure time) allows the user to capture clear moving
images; however, the captured image brightness will be low. If the shutter speed is set
to AUTO, the camera will adjust the shutter speed based on the EV value set (see

Section 7.1 for ways to configure EV).

17

Tip: To get a better result in the dark environment, we recommend setting the Shutter Speed to
NON AUTO first and then select 1/60 or 1/120. In ISO, disable AUTO and then set an appropriate
value.

7.5 Sharpness

Tap this icon to open the Sharpness slider as shown below to adjust the image
sharpness.

7.6 White Balance

• Burst – 3 Shots

• Burst – 5 Shots

18

• Burst – 10 Shots

• Selfie – 2 Sec

• Selfie – 10 Sec

Time Lapse Mode

Time Lapse Video allows the camera to record video frames at set time intervals. The Time Lapse
Mode allows the user to configure the time between video frames. The available interval options
are:

• 0.1 sec: 3 times faster

• 2 sec: 60 times faster

• 5 sec: 150 times faster

• 10 sec: 300 times faster

• 30 sec: 900 times faster

• 60 sec: 1800 times faster

Note: The recorded video would be played in 30 fps. The time-lapse video will appear to be
faster than normal video and there is thus a need for longer record time.

Power Systems

Select the appropriate system frequency to avoid image flicker. The available system options are:

• 50 Hz (PAL)

• 60 Hz (NTSC)

7.8 System

Format Micro SD Card: CC-360 accepts micro SD cards with capacities ranging from 8 GB to 128

GB. Format the camera’s SD card to FAT32. Note that disk formatting will erase all files on the SD

7.9 Advanced Settings

• Power Saving: When ON, all live views will be displayed with 6 fps. When OFF, all live views

will be displayed up to 30 fps.

• Wi-Fi Channel: Select the interference free Wi-Fi channel from Channel 1 to 11.

• SSID / Password: This option allows the user to view the SSID and change the password.

• Fan Control: Selects the fan speed (Fast, Median and Slow) or turn the fan off.

• Live Stream Codec: The H.264 involves complex compression algorithm which requires a CPU

with high decoding power. MJPEG is easier to decode but requires a larger bandwidth so the
frame rate is lower.

Note: If 4K H.264 decoding is not supported on your mobile phone, please switch to MJPEG
to view in 3K, 4K or 6K mode.

• Stitching Color Control: Turning the Stitching Color Control on will yield a more precise color

9. Firmware Update Procedure

Datavideo usually releases new firmware containing new features or reported bug fixes from time
to time. Customers can either download the CC-360 firmware as they wish or contact their local
dealer or reseller for assistance.

This section outlines the firmware upgrade process which should take approximately 10 minutes

to complete. The existing CC-360 settings should persist through the firmware upgrade process,
which should not be interrupted once started as this could result in a non-responsive unit.

1. Save the firmware update file (.zip) into the root directory of the SD card and make sure that

there is no other zip file in the same root.

2. Insert the SD card into the camera.

3. Turn on the camera and as soon as the SD card is ready, the camera will start to upgrade.

4. After the upgrade is finished, the camera will reboot.

5. The firmware update file will be remembered so that the camera will not upgrade the same file

repeatedly.

6. If the zip file is not recognized, the camera will stop upgrading and display “aborted” on the

OLED screen. Please press and hold the power button for 4 seconds to force shut down the
camera and check the file again.

10. Frequently-Asked Questions

This section describes problems that you may encounter while using CC-360. If you have any
questions, please refer to related sections and follow all suggested solutions. If problem still exists,
please contact your distributor or the service center.

No.

Problems

Solutions

1.

Is there a quick way to recover from Wi-

Fi disconnection?

Long pressing the shot button will switch

the camera back to MASTER mode.

2.

Can the stitching lines sometimes seen

between images be improved?

The CC-360 camera offers an auto stitching

function that stitches images properly most
of the time. The following are tips to
improve stitching:

The minimum stitching distance is 60 cm. If
the objects are placed too close to the
stitching line, please make sure that they do
not cross the stitching line.

The stitching lines can only confine a
specific distance so make sure objects on
the stitching line are within the configured
distance.

Manual stitching allows the user to stitch
images with a defined distance and the
stitching setting can be adjusted using the
slide bar for the main object of shooting.

3.

Why is there a short loud noise after I

turn on the camera?

The camera is equipped with a cooling fan

and while the device is booting, the fan will
be turned on for a short period of time.
After the device is booted up, the fan will
be either turned off or slowed down
depending on the fan control setting.

4.

Why is it sometimes difficult to connect

the camera over Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi signal quality is closely related to the

environment condition. In an environment
where the obstacles are absent, Wi-Fi
transmission distance can be extended up
to 30 meters, but will be degraded to
around 10 meters if indoor. If there are too
many Wi-Fi devices in the same room, try
switching to another Wi-Fi channel to
improve the signal transmission quality.

5.

How create a little planet video?

The CC-360 APP offers a screen recording

function that works in the little planet mode
to playback your 360 video and allows the
user to record the screen to make a little
planet video.

6.

Why is the resolution of Global mode 4K

3840 x 1920 unlike the regular 4K video
at 2160p?

The Global Mode videos adopt spherical

(Equirectangular) projection, which
produces 2:1 aspect ratio images and can

29

be played on any standard 360 players.

However 4K video in modes like 180 and
QUAD will have a resolution of 2160p on
any 16:9 players.

7.

I have edited my 360 video and

uploaded it to YouTube, but it cannot be
played as a 360 video.

The videos recorded by CC-360 cameras

contain 360 metadata and can be uploaded
to YouTube / Facebook directly. After
editing, the metadata may be lost and you
will need to inject it again. You can find the
injector on the website below:
