Welcome to the Videobotics Sony PSP Cam Control Info Page

NEW! SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PSP RSS WEB FEED!
You'll need the Sony PSP Media Manager program running on your PC. This program is a terrific tool you can use to convert PC 'AVI' (video) files into the format required by the PSP but it also will monitor PSP 'podcasts' which is really cool.

In the Sony 'PSP Media Manager' software (which runs on your PC), click on 'Feeds' (icon at the top), then 'Add' (left hand column of options) and enter this URL to the dialog box:

http://www.videobotics.com/vbxrss.xml

and click on the 'download one episode' check-box.

Then the PSP Manager program will automatically pull new MPEG4 PSP videos into your PC for you to transfer to your PSP (using the USB cable connection). We'll be posting PSP-compatible video files to this web feed from time to time. Our first 'sample' is a fractal art animation of about 25 seconds duration. Check it out! We're planning on having some real fun with the PSP.

On the 'regular' web you can also find our RSS 'feed' here:

We'll have Videobotics news and PSP videos on the RSS feed - keep an eye on it.

We've just worked out a way to use CamMotion software to let you control and view a camera using Sony's incredible PSP (PlayStation Portable). This little gadget is remarkable, with a built-in WiFi network system and a web browser! There's no streaming video viewing capability yet, but we've set up a special test page where you can view a 'still' images from our online system that refresh about every 10 seconds and you will see a basic set of buttons to control and select cams as well. Note: only camera #1 can be controlled but you can select to view the 'static' cameras #2 and #3. You'll get 'still' images refreshed automatically about every 10 seconds.

so... if you have a Sony PSP check out this cool new cam control technology here: (you should be able to access this page anywhere you have your PSP and there's a WiFi system available for web access)

Here's how we do it:
We set up the Pixord videoserver box to FTP a picture every 10 seconds to our web site. Then we have the CamMotion software (our Cosmos multi-camera version for the Sony EVI-D70 with 3 cams set up right now and an ASEL-16 switcher - camera #1 is the Sony EVI-D70 so it can be controlled) running here. We also run a webserver to pull in and refresh the image to the visitor's PSP and handle the CGI requests coming from this special page to control the cam. The CGI scripts are written in Rebol (free from www.rebol.com) and they relay the commands over to the CamMotion software to actually move cam #1 or select cam #2 or #3. Cameras #2 and #3 are just 'stationary' video cameras hooked up to the switcher so they can be seen but not moved.
