Librestream Onsight 2500 User Manual Onsight 2500 Basic Operation

Onsight Connect can simultaneously connect to multiple Onsight Connect users and multiple Onsight 2500s.

1 Getting Started

1.1 The Onsight System

The Onsight system reaches beyond traditional video conferencing rooms to connect field workers in challenging environments with remote subject matter experts. Using Onsight Connect, subject matter experts can see live video and images and share feedback with field staff, external suppliers, or customers to assess operations or resolve issues immediately.

The Onsight Connect solution is comprised of three main components:

1. Onsight Connect service platform including rich collaboration software for the iPhone, iPad, PC and Onsight mobile devices

2. Librestream’s Onsight mobile devices including rugged and hazardous location certified models

3. Central system management tools including Onsight Account Manager and Onsight Management Suite

Together, these components provide a full operations-driven video collaboration solution that is optimized to perform in challenging field environments. Using Onsight, a field worker can securely collaborate with multiple offsite experts through live video, images, voice, and on-screen drawing (“telestration”). Experts and field workers can resolve issues, fix problems, diagnose, or monitor field situations on the shop floor, in a remote health clinic, or even at the scene of an emergency.

Librestream Onsight 2500 User Manual Onsight 2500 Basic Operation

1.2 Onsight Rugged Smart Cameras

Onsight Mobile Rugged Smart Cameras are used to communicate with Onsight Connect users (or multiple Onsight Connect users) over a network. The Onsight 2500 can fully collaborate from a remote site.

Technical experts and remote operators can jointly view, consult, diagnose and resolve issues by sending highresolution video, sound and still images through streaming multimedia from the Onsight 2500 to one or more Onsight Connect endpoints.

Multiple Onsight Connect users and Onsight 2500s can participate in a conference call. The Onsight Connect PC user who establishes the connection with the Onsight 2500 is called the Conference Host.

The Onsight 2500 operator and Onsight Connect user can:

 Converse just as they would on a mobile telephone  Stream audio and video recordings in real time  View and listen to streaming audio/video output in real time  Record and play back video  Draw (telestrate) on the video image  Capture and save snapshot images  Share snapshot images  Draw (telestrate) on the snapshot image  Remotely adjust the controls on the Onsight 2500 (e.g., zoom, focus, lighting, etc.)

 “Expert” refers to the user of the Onsight Connect software application. Onsight Connect software is installed

on the expert’s computer.

 Onsight Connect or an Onsight 2500 is designated as an endpoint.  "Video" or “Recording” can be used interchangeably depending on context, and can refer to:

▪ a video recording which may include video, two-way voice, subject audio, images, and telestration ▪ a two-way voice recording only

 “Audio” or “Voice” refers to audio from an operator’s voice.  “Subject Audio” refers to the unprocessed sound coming from the subject captured by the Onsight 2500.

Subject Audio is time-synchronized with the video.

 Temporary color change means that the color that was changed will revert back to its previous (default) color

after a session (call) has ended. A permanent color change is made by saving the new color as default (i.e. Save As Default).

1.8.10 Tips

 A conference call consists of more than two call participants. The host of the conference call is the Onsight

Connect user who establishes the connection with the Onsight 2500.

 For video playback, live video streaming must be off.  When making a recording, it is possible to record a voice audio-only call.  You cannot share an image during video playback.  You can share an image during live streaming.
