2ndLook is all about ease of use and is the culmination of our 20+ years of experience in developing software and hardware for video recording. A simplified user interface has been fine-tuned and focused on getting the video needed... fast. The new "Record" and "Review" perspectives separate the two main operations showing the right controls when needed. Showing live video instantly is an easy way to see that the system is configured properly. The pronounced recording time and capacity bar give a user the confidence that a long term test can be completed successfully. Connect a camera and then hit Record; it's that easy. Some camera manufacturers require that their driver software be used which can restrict the devices that can be connected to the PC after installation. 2ndLook uses a camera-independent GenICam driver which means that camera manufacturer software doesn't need to be installed when using GenICam-compliant USB3 Vision or GigE Vision cameras. This makes using cameras from different manufacturers a seamless process and doesn't interfere with peripheral devices like USB3 external drives.
