Datasheet

The menu system of the Haivision Viper is very straightforward and easy to use, with

the touch-panel responding well to commands, with many of the settings and features

being only a few button presses away. This makes navigating and using the Viper easy

and friendly, but the fact that most of the advanced settings are only available through

the IP (Internet Protocol) –portal, gives it a slightly stripped feel, or that it may be

dumbed down a little too much, but that is just a personal impression. The design of the

menus is well thought-out, and uses a colour scheme that fits well with the layout and

makes manoeuvring through the menus that much more appealing. Figure 11 gives a

few examples of the different kinds of menus and screens, encountered while using the

Haivison Viper.

As is the case with the menus, navigating the Stream & Record menu is simple and

direct; this makes capturing and streaming with the Haivision Viper very easy and does

not require a lot of forethought. The Stream & Record menu screen can be seen below

in Figure 12, and is very simplistic yet contains a lot of information and options, i.e. the

review windows for the PC and Camera content, the PIP (Picture-in-Picture) options,

the Stream and Record buttons as well as a Hotmark button (essentially a bookmark).
