currently desired settings during playback of all video tracks.  
Control Setup  
"Loop Track"  
This option is the same as the "(>)" loop track button supplied on the main  
panel of the Video player screen. It takes precedence over the "Loop List"  
button.  
"Loop List"  
This option as well, is a mirror of the "((>))" loop list button supplied on the

This option allows the user to setup the player to only loop on the tracks in the  
currently selected Directory. The Directory is defined by the current track that  
is playing. When the "Loop List" button is active and the "Loop Track" button  
is inactive, the Player will loop on only those tracks that exist in the same  
directory as the currently playing track. If this option is not selected then all  
 
tracks that are listed in the View Files area will be looped when the "Loop List"  
button is active.  
"Shuffle List"  
This option will randomly select the next track in the currently viewed files list.  
Only when the "Loop List" button is active.  
"Auto Play"  
This option, when enabled will place the Video player into automatic "Refresh"  
mode. At a defined rate the player will auto detect the presence of all  
removable media, when the media is removed and reinserted two functions  
will be performed?  
1. The Files viewed list will be refreshed.  
2. The first track found on the newly inserted media will start  
playing from the beginning of the track.  
This function allows the user to keep the PDA in power down mode while  
inserting new media to be viewed.  
Note: This option, when enabled will cause the player, upon reloading to  
startup the last track that was playing when the player was shut down.  
Video Mode  
The player will operate in one of two modes.  
640x480: This mode allows for viewing of high-resolution videos.  
320x240: This mode is a more compatible PDA mode that is  
designed for higher playback rates from your PDA device. Most video files  
designed for the PDA environment are played back in this mode. This is the  
default startup mode for the Video player.  
Skin vs Black  
When not checked the player will display a black background during track  
playback. When checked a standard Skin file will be painted onto the  
backdrop of the display screen while playing any videos from the Files list.  
This file can be overridden on a per track basis. Provided the currently  
selected track has a .jpg file of the same name:  
Example:  
\SD Card\VideoFile.MPG  
\SD Card\VideoFile.JPG Å this file becomes the new skin file.  
 
NOTE: You must have the Skin vs Black checkbox selected prior to selecting  
the video track from the View Files list.  
File Settings  
This group box will display the currently selected tracks dimensions and  
attenuated sound settings. The slider represents a percentage decrease in  
volume from the master system volume that is applied to the current track.  
Not all video tracks will have the same level of volume designed into the track.  
This option allows the user to apply a change in volume between each track  
such that no one track will be greater in volume than the others. The setting  
is stored in a configuration file by the same name as the current tracks.  
Example:  
\SD Card\VideoFile.MPG  
\SD Card\VideoFile.CFG Å Stored volume settings for this track.  
Ok  
When all of the settings for this track and the player are setup the user selects  
ok to save these settings. When the player shuts down all settings will be  
remembered.

Using Your Video Eyewear  
Your Video Eyewear is a monocular display product, meaning it has a single  
video display. This display can be positioned in front of either your right or left  
eye—whichever is your dominant eye.  
Determining your Dominant Eye  
It is relatively easy to  
determine which eye is  
your dominant eye.  
1. Place your hands  
together, leaving a  
small ½ to ¾ inch  
opening  
between  
your thumbs.  
2. With  
both  
eyes  
open, look through the open triangle at a distant object.  
3. Close your left eye. If the object remains in view, you are right eye  
dominant. If your hands appear to move off the object and move to the  
left, then you are left eye dominant.  
When you wear your Video Eyewear, you will want to position the monocular  
display screen over your dominant eye.  
If the Video Eyewear display is placed over your other eye, the one that is not  
dominant, you will have to close your dominant eye to focus on the video  
display. When the video display is positioned over your dominant eye, you will  
discover that you can focus on the display with both eyes open, or view past  
the display with minimal visual interference. Your ability to focus on and past  
the display will also improve with a little practice.  
Wearing Your Video Eyewear  
Your Video Eyewear is highly adjustable. It can be worn by people without  
spectacles or over prescription glasses.  
The first step in adjusting your Video Eyewear is to  
position the monocular display on the side of your  
dominant eye. This is done by loosening the  
thumb screw in the center of the display arm,  
directly below the head bands, about 1/8th of a turn  
and flipping the display arm over 180º.  
Next, you’ll want to adjust the headband springs—  
the two steel strips that extend over your head  
when the Video Eyewear is worn. These  
 
headbands can be adjusted for length as well as spread apart for a  
comfortable and stable fit.  
Once you have the Video Eyewear comfortably  
positioned, you can loosen the black Display Arm  
adjustment screw and slide the display extension  
arm in or out to achieve a length that positions the  
monocular display in front of and close to your  
dominant eye. Additional adjustments can also be  
made by bending the flexible display extension  
arm. This will enable you to make vertical  
adjustments as well as small adjustments to  
reposition the display closer, further away from, or  
below your eye.  
Note: Positioning the display closer to your eye  
maximizes the perceived size of the display screen.  
Focus Adjustment  
A small wheel on the top of the display housing enables you  
to make small focal adjustments from approximately +2 to -6  
diopters.  
 
Caring for Your Video Eyewear  
Your Icuiti Video Eyewear is virtually carefree, requiring only occasional  
cleaning with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any liquids, or even your breath, to  
clean the Video Eyewear’s display panel cover or optical assembly. Use only  
approved optical lens cleaning pads, such as those designed for cleaning  
Take care when handling your Video Eyewear’s cable. Do not kink, fold, or  
tightly bend the cable connecting the Video Eyewear and Compact Flash card  
as it may damage the cable and void your warranty.  
Your Icuiti Video Eyewear is not designed for use in dusty or wet  
environments. Excessive dust or moisture, such as rain, may infiltrate the unit  
and diminish its display quality.  
When not in use, the Video Eyewear must NOT be exposed to temperatures  
outside of the range - 20°C to 40°C. When in use, the device must NOT be  
exposed to temperatures outside of the range 0°C to 40°C.  
Video Eyewear Usage  
We recommend that you take frequent breaks, every 30 minutes where  
practical, while using your Video Eyewear to prevent eye strain—as is also  
recommended when using a traditional computer monitor. The immersive  
nature of a Video Eyewear experience can produce intense concentration and  
reduced blinking, leading to dryness of the eyes and other symptoms of eye  
strain. Limit your maximum session time to that of a standard movie  
(approximately 2 hrs.) or less.
