Jaunt ONE should always be handled with care. Follow the guidelines below when handling the camera:

Always lift Jaunt ONE using the handle, using one hand to support the base of the camera. Take care to protect the lenses from impact during movement.

When not in use, always replace lens caps on all 24 modules to protect the glass lenses.

Jaunt ONE is not waterproof and should not be used in rain, underwater, or in environments with high moisture or humidity.

When outdoors under direct sunlight, shield Jaunt ONE from sun when not in use. This will help ensure the camera does not overheat.

Smudges on lenses can easily ruin a shot. Frequently monitor lenses and wipe off any smudges or debris using lens wipes.

Only transport Jaunt ONE in an approved transport case.

Refer to the Jaunt ONE Step By Step Tutorial for details on creating your ﬁrst recording. For best practices refer to the Jaunt Cinematic VR Field Guide: A Guide to Best Practices for Shooting 360°.

Creating Your First Recording

Handling

ONE

GETTING STARTED

Jaunt ONE can be powered by standard cinema batteries or via a custom AC adapter. Always use the supplied Jaunt ONE power cable to power the camera. The following batteries/power supplies have been tested and are fully supported for use with Jaunt ONE:

Power

The power supply (battery/AC adapter) must provide the following power to Jaunt ONE:

Battery

• Anton Bauer Digital 90 Battery (93Wh)

• Anton Bauer Digital 150 Battery (156Wh)

AC Adapter

• Meanwell GST160A15 with XLR connector (144W)

Voltage: 15V nominal (input range 12-17V)

Current: ≥9A continuous power draw

COMPATIBILITY

SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-I Card, 32GB (est. record duration: 1h10m)

SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-I Card, 64GB (est. record duration: 2h20m)

SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-I Card, 128GB (est. record duration: 4h40m)

While recording, each Jaunt ONE module writes data to its SD card. Jaunt ONE’s high quality recordings require SD cards that can support high data rates. The following SD cards have been tested and are fully supported for use with Jaunt ONE. Take care not to mix and match different SD card sizes or brands. Only use cards listed below:

Data

The base of Jaunt ONE is designed with ﬁve

3/8"-16 steel mounting holes for mounting to standard tripod adapter plates. Always use at least two bolts for mounting to prevent the camera from rotating and unscrewing itself from the plate. One bolt should always be fastened to the central mount point. Use 15 to 20 N-m (11 to 15 ft-lb) of torque to fasten bolts to the base.

The combined data rate across all 24 modules is:

180 MB per second of recording

10.8 GB per minute of recording

648 GB per hour of recording

Mounting

ONE

COMPATIBILITY

Gently grip the sides of each lens cap and pull outward to remove the cap. Applying a slight twisting force can be helpful if a cap is not easily removed.

To replace, press the lens cap gently around the lens until it is seated against the module. Take care

not to contact the glass lens surface with the cap or a ﬁnger.

Removing/Replacing Lens Caps

Insert SD cards with the gold contacts facing down toward the lens. Push the card into the module until it clicks into place. Do not apply excessive force if a card does not insert. Remove it, check the orientation, and try again. Take care to insert the card with the correct orientation on the top and bottom modules.

Eject the SD card by pushing inward on the card until it clicks and disengages. Do not attempt to

directly remove the card without ﬁrst pushing inward to disengage it. Remove the card and store in

the supplied card case.

Inserting/Ejecting SD Cards

ONE

USAGE

The power cable has two connectors: a smaller right-angle LEMO connector that plugs into the camera, and a larger XLR connector for connecting to the power source.

Align the red indicator on the right angle power connector with the red indicator on the power receptacle. Insert the connector until it clicks into place. Do not apply excessive force if the connector does not engage. Remove it, check the orientation, and try again.

To remove the right angle connector, grip the textured outer sheath of the plug and pull away from the camera.

Align the male pins of the XLR connector with the female pins of the XLR connector on the battery adapter plate or AC power supply. To remove the XLR connector, press on the latching button and pull apart.

Connecting Power

Ensure that the power cable is connected to the camera, a battery or AC power supply is connected to the power cable, and SD cards are loaded in all modules. Flip the power switch from the “O” to “I”

position to power on the camera. You will see the module LEDs light up, turn off brieﬂy, then ﬂash

green for a longer sequence (no longer than 10 seconds), before settling to solid green. See the “Troubleshooting” section if any other LED indicators are seen during power up.

Power On/Off

Ensure that the camera is powered on and that the ring status LED on the handle record button is green. To start recording, press the record button on the handle. The record button LED and the camera module LEDs will turn red to indicate that the camera is now recording.

To stop recording, press the record button on the handle. The record button LED and the camera module LEDs will turn green to indicate the camera has stopped recording.

Record Start/Stop

USAGE

The following are the default capture settings. These settings can be adjusted by connecting a computer to the camera and using the Jaunt ONE Controller application. Additional information can be found in the Jaunt ONE Controller documentation.

Automatic white balance

Default Capture Settings

ONE

USAGE

Jaunt ONE can be connected to a computer using a USB 2.0 cable with a Type B connector. Check the orientation of the cable before inserting it into the USB receptacle. Take care to gather the cable against the tripod to

prevent it from entering the camera ﬁeld of

view. Using a right-angle USB cable can help keep the cable out of sight.

Connecting USB

Align the red indicator on the accessory connector with the red indicator on the accessory port. Insert the connector until it clicks into place. Do not apply excessive force if the connector does not engage. Remove it, check the orientation, and try again. Take care to gather the cable against the tripod to prevent it from entering the

camera ﬁeld of view.

To remove the connector, grip the textured outer sheath of the plug and pull away from the camera.

Connecting Accessories

ONE

USAGE

Jaunt ONE comes with a wired remote trigger accessory cable that can be connected to the accessory port on the camera and used to start and stop a recording. Press once to start a recording. Press again to stop the recording. The LED on the button will illuminate red when the camera is recording and will be off when not recording. Unlike the handle record button, the accessory cable button will not turn green when ready to record.

Wired Remote Trigger

The Jaunt Media Manager application should always be used to ingest and upload videos captured with Jaunt ONE. The application intelligently parses data from multiple SD cards and organizes them for further processing.

From time to time, however, it may be useful to review the data directly on the SD card. The following details the directory structure of a Jaunt ONE recording:

Note that the .mov ﬁle on the SD card will need the Jaunt ONE LUT (look-up table) applied in order for colors to appear accurate. Visit support.jauntvr.com for further details on color and the LUT workﬂow.

Example recording directory tree: /JAUNT-Z0001/S0001/T0001/Z0001-S0001-T0001-M000-B5531012C240-C001.mov

Z0001 is the camera serial number that can be found on the bottom of the unit.

S0001 is the session number. The session number increments each time the camera is powered on.

T0001 is the take number. The take number increments each time a new recording is started within a single session.

M000 is the camera module number from 000 to 023.

B5531012C240 is the camera module serial number.

C001 is the chapter number. Large video ﬁles will be chaptered after the video reaches 4GB in size.

Reviewing Data

There is a numbering convention for identifying the 24 modules in Jaunt ONE. The equator modules are numbered from 0 to 15, starting with the module to the left of center when viewing the camera from the front. Numbering continues clockwise around the camera when viewing from the top. Modules 16 to 19 are on the top, counting clockwise as viewed from above. Modules 20 to 23 are on the bottom, again counting clockwise as viewed from above. See diagram below.
