1 Description and operation
1.1 Product description
Stereo video camera BlackBird 1 (further in the text "camera" or "product") is
designed for generating a video signal in the interlaced 3D format. The camera
generates stereo image in real time, and small size, support power supply input voltage
in the range from 5V to 12V and variable stereo base, making it versatile and easy to
use.
For the wireless transmission of stereo image from the camera to your 3D monitor or
3D video goggles, you can use an analog video transmitter. Recording is done with the
help of video capture devices.
The main area of use BlackBird 1 - FPV (first person view), as the steering cameras on
radio-controlled model quadrocopter, airplane, car, robot platform.
