Introduction

Rosco’s Dual-Vision
Mounted on the windshield, Dual-Vision
forward exterior field of vision and the driver/passenger compartment. Privacy concerns may be
addressed through several means, including disabling of interior audio recording.

Data is recorded in a continuous loop, with oldest video erased by more recent video. The
compact system can hold many hours of data before any over-writing takes place. An internal
GPS antenna enables capture of vehicle location, speed, and direction. Important “Events” such
as excessive G-Force and speeding are placed in special protected files along with video
segments identified by the driver as being important.

All the data is stored in proprietary files located on a removable SD card. Video, audio,
location information, and G-force data may ONLY be reviewed by accessing the contents of the
SD card using Rosco’s proprietary Player software on any Windows PC. The software is
provided at no additional cost to the end-user, and there are no follow-up fees for use or
updating of the Player by authorized u sers. Critical videos may be converted to standard media­player formats for transmission to legal or administrative offices.

Security: Dual-Vision
applications. The optional Security Lock discourages unauthorized removal of the SD card.
Installation via hard-wire connection to a vehicle’s electrical system discourages tampering and
provides recording capability even after the engine has been shut off.

Optional DV-Pro® Fleet Management Software: Dual-Vision™ XC kits are complete with our
standard Dual-Vision™ XC Pla yer software. For more advanced needs, Rosco has developed DV­Pro®, an exclusive fleet management software program for managing multi-vehicle video
recordings and data. This powerful software provides the ability to archive footage or to insert
descriptive tags highlighting video segments of interest. Post-route GPS data is easily accessed
to help evaluate location, routing, and speed.

Preparation to Start Video Recording

• With new or freshly formatted SD Card inserted into Recorder, turn ignition on. “Init” will

appear on the LCD display indicating that the Recorder is initializing. Approximately one
minute after powering on, the unit should complete initializing and a “ding-dong” chime will
sound. Although GPS still may not be active, recording begins.

• LCD Display will indicate the number of G-force or Driver-Button Events recorded since last

reset. This alphanumerical code (ex. E001) will remain displayed for 10 seconds. Next, a
similar display (ex. S002) will indicate the number of times the speed limit was exceeded.

• The LCD Display will show four dashes (----), indicating that GPS satellite signal is being

acquired. This may take up to 5 minutes on initial startup, quicker on subsequent vehicle
starts. When “GPS“ icon is lit, GPS location data is now being embedded into the recording
along with vehicle speed and direction.

NOTE: When vehicle is in motion, LCD displays vehicle speed. When vehicle is stopped, LCD displays local time.

• Dual-Vision™ XC creates proprietary files (identified as “.asd” files) which contain video, audio,

and tracking data. Proprietary .asd files will only play on Dual-Vision™ XC Player or DV-Pro®.

• Event Recording - When preconfigured speed or G-sensor values are exceeded, or when

Driver Event Button is pressed, an “EVENT” is created. The .asd file associated with that Event
is marked and protected against overwriting.

• Continuously recorded .asd files are NOT protected against overwriting. When the capacity of

the SD Card has been reached, the oldest non-Event files are overwritten. “Event” data files, as
noted above, are NOT overwritten.

• Video files may be password protected at the manager’s option. In the Configuration menu,

enter and confirm password, then place a check mark on “use password”. Make certain to
record the password in a safe place.

The G-Force sensor detects changes in directional forces affecting the vehicle. The Dual-Vision™
XC Player displays G-force data in a graphical format, and creates Events when those forces
exceed supervisor-set values. One may interpret the data as follows:

Y-AXIS : FRONT / BACK MOTION

Z-AXIS : UP / DOWN MOTION

Suggested Configuration Settings

Note that X & Y axes are 0 when vehicle is stationary. The Z-Axis is typically at +1 when

vehicle is stationary, due to the effect of the earth’s gravitational force. Using the slide­bars, adjust the values for each axis. This is a trial-and-error effort, since different types of
vehicles will react differently under various road conditions. The values represent a range (+
or -) around G=0. The values for the Z-Axis must be set above 1, so that it does not record
Events while the vehicle is not moving. Under normal driving conditions for an automobile,
settings of X= .8G, Y= .6G, Z= 1.8G are recommended as being sufficient to identify driver­behavior issues while being high enough to avoid most unnecessary Event-marking caused by
potholes or normal braking. Please see the above chart for suggested settings appropriate for a

Rosco Commercial Warranty

We warrant that all ROSCO mirror, camera, sun visor, and electronic vision products are free
from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of
receipt of the product. During the warranty period, we agree to provide a replacement for (or at our
option, repair) the ROSCO product and/or any one or more component parts of a ROSCO
product which malfunctions under normal use and service.

Upon discovering a defect, the customer must contact ROSCO for a return authorization
and then must return the product, and/or component part, together with proof of date of receipt
of the product, to ROSCO INC. 144-31 91st Ave. Jamaica, New York 11435. The customer and
not ROSCO will be responsible for the payment of all removal, installation and transportation
charges for return of defe ctive products or components to ROSCO. Transportation charges for
such return must be prepaid. The repaired or replaced equipment will be returned to the customer
with transportation charges prepaid by ROSCO. Replacement (or repaired) products and/or
component parts are warranted only for the unexpired term of the original warranty.

This warranty does not cover defects caused by neglect, misuse, incorrect application,
incorrect installation, water damage, vehicle wash facilities, alteration or repair in any manner
outside ROSCO’s factory. Damage caused by the return shipment due to inadequate packaging
or mishandling will not be covered. If the alleged defect is due to any of these causes, the
customer will be advised of the findings and asked what action is to be taken. If ROSCO is
requested to repair the product, a repair charge estimate will be prepared and the customer’s
written permission (purchase order, repair, etc.) will be necessary to proceed with the repair of
the product and/or component part. Transportation charges for such returns will be the
responsibility of the customer.

This warranty may not be expanded by oral representation, written sales information, and
drawings or otherwise. Repair or replacement is the exclusive remedy for defective
products under this warranty. This warranty is expressly in lieu of all other warranties,
including any implied warranty of merchantability or any implied warranty of fitness for a
particular purpose on any ROSCO product. ROSCO shall not be liable for any consequential or
incidental damages for breach of any express or implied warranty on any ROSCO product.
