THE USB CABLE
The LX-1 is compliant to UVC (video class) standard and there is no need to install a driver.
Just by connecting it to the USB port of your computer, you can use the LX-1 with a video
conference system or various applications.
By connecting the LX-1 to a computer with Image Mate 4 (the controlling software for the
LX-1) installed, the following operations can be performed:
・Save live video streaming or still images to a computer
・Operate the LX-1 from a computer
This instruction manual briefly explains the feature of Image Mate 4.
Refer to the instruction manual of Image Mate 4 for details such as the system requirements
of the computer and operation procedure of the OS or the software.
※Image Mate 4 (the controlling software for the LX-1) and its instruction manual can be

CAUTION
・ Do not connect/disconnect the USB cable while the LX-1 is in operation.
It could cause malfunction.
・ We recommend using the supplied USB cable or commercially available USB 2.0
compliant USB cable.
・ It may take some time to display the image when the video streaming is started or
resolution is changed. Do not turn off the power of the LX-1 or disconnect the USB cable
before the image is displayed.
・ Only MJPEG images can be output through the USB port. Depending on the software you
use, you may not be able to display the images.
・ The displayed image may pause for a brief second when the object moves quickly. This is
not a malfunction.
・ The displayed image may be distorted depending on the object being displayed.
The image distortion may be improved by the following measures:
- Reduce the resolution
- Reduce the frame rate
- Reduce the image quality
• Depending on the computer’s USB environment or the peripheral equipment, image transfer
may be disrupted.
• Successful operation in all environments and conditions is not guaranteed.
