VIO Software V3 is the current and forward-looking software branch for Gremsy’s EO/IR payload ecosystem. V3 inherits the EIS capabilities of V2 while expanding into several critical features: **RAW IR streaming, EagleEye, Point Here/Set ROI, runtime bitrate control, optimized web/OTA, and a full suite of improvements for professional deployment.**
1. Why a dedicated “V3” branch?
- The need for long-range, high-zoom tracking (>30×) is rapidly increasing in industrial, oil & gas, and powerline surveillance.
- AI/analytics workflows require high-quality IR data (RAW IR, reliable radiometry).
- Large-scale deployments demand stable OTA updates and user-friendly web settings.
V3 is the technical response to these evolving requirements.
2. Key Technical Highlights of V3
- Full-feature EIS: The EIS engine is optimized and works more effectively with gimbal firmware (≥7.8.7), reducing vibration at high zoom levels.
- Tracking up to 240×: A combined EO/IR tracking algorithm helps maintain target lock even at extremely high zoom ratios.
- RAW IR stream: Supports RAW IR output (F1 at 10 Hz, G1 at 5 Hz) — essential for radiometric analysis and AI model training/evaluation.
- EagleEye & Point Here / Set ROI: Intuitive operational tools that significantly improve response speed during field missions.
- Runtime bitrate control: Adjust streaming bitrate on the fly to optimize bandwidth for task-specific needs.
- Optimized Web/OTA: Payload URLs always point to the latest builds; redesigned web UI; more stable OTA for multi-unit deployments.
- SDK v3: Supports C++ and Python for system integration, automation, and AI pipelines.
3. Release Architecture & Combo Structure
V3 is delivered as a combo package:
- VIO Payload App (3.x) + Video Stream App + Web Settings App.
Note: Gremsy Payload SDK, Payload Assistant, and GremsyFlashTools are updated separately and are not included in the .zip package by default.
4. Who should use V3?
- Users requiring EIS + high-zoom tracking, such as maritime surveillance, oil & gas inspections, powerline monitoring, and border security.
- Projects that require RAW IR data for radiometric workflows or AI development.
- Teams deploying multiple units that need stable OTA and remote management.
5. Deployment Notes
- Verify gimbal firmware compatibility (≥7.8.7 required for many V3 builds).
- If currently using V1.x, you must upgrade to V1.5.0 before moving to V2/V3.
- Downgrade from V2/V3 to V1 is not supported — it is a one-way upgrade.
- Ensure SDK and companion tools match the correct version.
Conclusion
V3 represents a significant leap forward for missions requiring stability, powerful tracking, and high-quality IR data.
If you’re considering an upgrade, review your firmware checklist and back up configurations before proceeding. Contact the Gremsy technical team to receive the proper package and detailed deployment guidance.
