Operation:

  • Apply power to the GeoStamp® HD with GPS. During power-up the yellow “GPS Fix” LED will blink for 10 seconds.
  • An on-screen “X” icon appears if there is no valid communications with the internal GPS receiver
  • An on-screen “?” icon appears if there is a valid connection to the internal GPS receiver but no satellite fix
  • The on-screen GPS fields will update after each valid NMEA sentence is received from the internal GPS receiver. The yellow “GPS Fix” LED will illuminate.
  • Simultaneous press the UP/DOWN buttons to configure the incoming video input source (see below)
  • Press the MENU button to enter the on-screen menu configuration (see below)
 
 

Configuring the incoming video source:

  • The GeoStamp® HD with GPS unit must be configured to match the incoming video input source (AHD, HD-TVI, and HD-CVI 720p or 1080p)
  • To match the incoming video input source press and release the UP/DOWN buttons simultaneously to cycle through the video options until stable text is visible on-screen (you will see an on-screen menu)
  • Press the ENTER button and wait until for the normal operation screen
  • The configuration information is stored in non-volatile memory so information is retained even with loss of power to GeoStamp® HD with GPS
 

Status Icon:

If the “Show Status” option is enabled (by default) the following icons may appear:
 
Icon Status
X No or invalid communications with the internal GPS receiver
? The internal GPS receiver does not have a satellite fix
 
 

“GPS Fix” LED:
The yellow “GPS Fix” LED illuminates when the internal GPS receiver has a fix with a minimum of 4 satellites.  A GPS fix is required for on-screen GPS information to update. 

 

On-Screen Menu Configuration:
At any time press the MENU button to enter the on-screen menu configuration.  The UP, DOWN, and ENTER buttons move the cursor and change the settings.  All configuration information is stored in non-volatile memory so information is retained even with loss of power to GeoStamp® HD with GPS.
