With the latest version of Nexus, you can use the Vicon Control app, currently available on iOS 8 devices, to set up, calibrate, and capture with a Vicon Vantage, T-Series or Bonita system.
Control connects wirelessly to Vicon Nexus and streams camera data to your mobile or tablet, enabling a single user to change camera settings, calibrate the system, and start or stop capture from anywhere in the volume.
Vicon Control features include:
❙ The ability to change camera settings, calibrate, and start and stop capture with its intuitive single-handed dial
❙ View adjustments to the aperture and focus settings by selecting the camera from Control
❙ Select a Vantage camera and display it automatically using Tap to Select
Note that Vicon Control is compatible with the following devices:
❙ Phone 5, 5C, 5S, 6, 6+
❙ iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 2, and iPad 3
Before you can use your iOS device with Nexus, you must pair it with the PC that is running Nexus (the Vicon host PC).
To connect an iOS device running the Vicon Control app to Nexus on a Vicon host PC:
