PROTEUS

ESSENTIAL

The primary purpose of PROTEUS-ESSENTIAL is to provide the ability to insert text, images, and data (GPS, NMEA 0183, Barcode scanner) and the ability to insert data from NMEA 2000 sensors, CSV sentences, Quadrature inputs, Analog inputs, IRIG time, etc. into an incoming HD & SD video.

Numerous apps (Reticle, Compass, XY Measurement, Sliders, ROV Situation awareness, Aerial Situation Awareness, etc.) have been developed to enhance this product.

PROTEUS

PLUS

PROTEUS-PLUS includes all the features of PROTEUS-ESSENTIAL and the ability to create geotag media.

Geotagging is the process of syncing geographical data such as latitude, longitude, time, date, video time code (VTC), altitude, bearing, gyroscope pitch, roll & yaw, etc. to video.  The process also produces a geotagged media (KML file) that is synchronized to video and can be viewed in Google Earth to see the exact locations where videos were taken.
