It can be run by searching for it in the Start menu.

Connect to the SVC Pro

Click on the (Wi-Fi) icon.

192.168.2.2 is the default IP Address. If you changed it, make sure you input the correct address of your SVC Pro. Refer to the SVC Pro - Getting Started Guide.

Add a Stream

Select the (plus) icon next server address to add a stream.

Configure the Stream

Select Your Inputs and Start the Stream

• USB
• DWVO

Please select the left camera (typically the Leader if in Leader-Follower mode), followed by the right camera. For modularity, the cameras do not store their positional data, so you will need to configure the sides manually.

Select a DWVO file from the list, then click Start Stream in the bottom right corner.If your recording has reversed camera inputs, check the Swap left and right inputs box to correct them.

Select the Calibration File

Next, you can select the calibration file. By default, it will have the correct calibration selected. If you have any custom calibration files, they will also appear here.

Success!

You are all set! Once the stream initiates, DeepWater Desktop will begin processing your data.You should now see your 3D visuals—including rectified images, disparity maps, and point clouds—actively streaming in the main interface, just like the example below.

If your depth map looks inverted or incorrect, stop the stream and double-check that your left and right camera inputs were assigned in the correct order.

You can save the current point cloud to disk by clicking on the (save) icon:

To ensure point cloud files save properly to the installation directory, DeepWaterDesktop currently requires administrator privileges. Default save paths are C:\Program Files\DeepWaterDesktop 1.1.1\release on Windows and /usr/var/dwd on Linux .We are actively working to streamline this requirement in an upcoming update.
