View System RequirementsThe STAR 1200 is a modular design enabling maximum flexibility with a variety of host devices.
Some of the product’s components may be compatible with certain host devices while others may not. To fully understand what works a given host device you must look at each major component separately and consider how they interact when combined together.
Product Composition:
The STAR 1200 is composed of the following primary components:
- Video Display
- Host Device Interface
- Audio System
- Head Tracker
- Video Camera(s)
The video display, audio system and head tracker all connect to the host device through the host device interface, typically referred to as the Controller. A variety of Controllers are provided with a STAR 1200 and this and the host device have a major impact of the compatibility of the components connected through each Controller.
The video camera(s) connect independently and are not impacted by the model of Controller being used.
Controllers:
The STAR 1200 comes with two (2) Controllers. A Wrap VGA Controller is provided for computer connections and a Wrap PowerPak+ Controller for connecting to composite and component host devices.
Wrap VGA Controller: The VGA Controller is provided for connecting to a Windows 7, Vista or XP host computer. It connects through a VGA and a USB connector. A VGA specification compliant adapter can be used for connection to other video port formats. If insufficient USB 2.0 ports are available on the host computer, a powered hub can be used.
Some components may be used with other operating systems but such configurations are not officially recognized or supported. See the "General" section of the FAQs page for additional information.
Wrap PowerPak+ Controller: The STAR 1200 can connect to a variety of host devices such as mobile phones and tablets that provide either a composite or component A/V connection. The Wrap Tracker 6TC is not supported through by this Controller as support is not available through most of the host devices it connect to.
Other Components:
Video Display - The video display is enabled and powered through the Controller. Both 2D and stereoscopic 3D video is supported when connected to all supported Windows PC, composite or components host devices. 3D video requires side-by-side content played full-screen. No additional video drivers are required for 3D.
Audio System - The STAR 1200 is equipped with removable stereo headphones, compatible with all Windows PC, composite or components host devices.
Head Tracker - The Wrap Tracker 6TC connects to the host device through the Wrap VGA Controller. Head tracking support is not inherently supported by the Windows operating system and therefore requires specific support in the target application’s code. An SDK, is available from Vuzix to aid in the addition of head tracking support in Windows software.
Cameras - The STAR 1200 includes two video cameras. Each of these cameras connects independently to the host device through a USB 2.0 connection and requires compatible drivers, supplied by the camera manufacturer. At present only Windows drivers are available for the "compact camera" while both Windows and Mac drivers are available for the "HD camera".
Software:
A variety of software is provided with the STAR 1200 and, in some cases, drivers or other software may need to be downloaded from 3rd party websites.
The software provided by Vuzix consists primarily of "VR Manager", for head tracker and virtual reality support, and "maxReality" for AR content authoring and viewing. Both of these software applications are available for Windows only.
