Desktop Setup and Usage Guide

DigiView is currently using the original proof-of-concept as originally written by Joonas, and compiled and organized by tenten8401, belovedly known as VOC-POC. As such, using this requires some amount of manual effort and minor computer-related knowledge, but is still relatively easy to use. We plan on replacing this solution with a more elegant and user-friendly set up in the very near future. If you find this process difficult, you can always use the web app version at live.fpvout.com, which will work on nearly any computer. However, the following driver installation steps will still need to be performed. Go down to the Web section for more details.

Driver installation

  • Download the following zip file: https://b3yond.d3vl.com/DJIVideoOut.zip. Extract the contents of the zip to place of your choosing. It is recommended to keep everything consolidated in one folder.

  • Turn your DJI goggles on and plug them into USB. There's no need to turn on the vista/air unit just yet.

  • Go to the folder where you extracted the zip, and locate and run the "Install Drivers.exe" file

  • In the drop down list of connected devices near the top of the program, there should be an entry called "Bulk interface", select it. Click install drivers, and then wait. This may take several minutes depending on your computer, and there may not be an progress indicator. Once finished, close the program.

Running the program

  • Go back to the folder where the extracted files are. Inside, there are four different versions of the DigiView player. The first two are:

    • Run VOC.bat - This is the default playback program and the most stable/compatible.

    • Run VOC - experimental - Low Latency.bat - This uses more aggressive encoding settings and typically results in a much lower latency video feed. Video frames may drop depending on system, but for a lot of users this works well.

  • If you have 2 different GPUs in your computer (these are typically laptops with a separate dedicated GPU, or desktops that have a CPU with integrated graphics) you can opt to run the program on GPU #2 (this is typically the dedicated GPU and NOT the CPU integrated graphics) by running one of the following:

    • Run VOC - Hybrid GPU.bat

    • Run VOC - experimental - Low Latency - Hybrid GPU.bat

Because we can't account for all the different types of system configurations, you should always try to use the normal, non-hybrid files first, and only switch to use using the hybrid files if you experience performance issues.

  • After running the chosen file, power on your Airunit/Vista. Video should start playing within a few seconds.

    • PLEASE NOTE: If you are using the Caddx Vista, it is HIGHLY recommended you turn OFF "auto-temp protection". This can be done in the goggles' settings menu after the goggles and Vista connect, found in the "Device" sub-menu. If you do not get video after turning this off, unplug/replug the goggles. If you NEED to run auto-temp protection, then video should play once the craft is armed, though this is not always consistent.
  • Lastly, if you see LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND, re-run the driver install step above.



Android Setup and Usage Guide

DigiView Android is currently in active development in preparation for our our Beta and Google Play launch. As such, the UI is still in development. This guide will be completed once the workflow is in a consistent state. For now, please refer to the README.



Single-Board-Computer Setup and Usage Guide

DigiView-SBC is currently in rapid, active development, and usage flows are subject to change quickly. As such, any wiki instructions would be quickly outdated. For now, please refer to the README. This wiki will be updated once the project is in a more predictable state.
