Section 5. Using iPod Play-Through Mode

The iSee uses your iPod much as if the iPod were a hard disk. And while that iSee-enabled iPod is connected to your computer, VidiScape gives you access to all the iSee media you’ve loaded onto the iPod.

How iTunes and iSee Share Your iPod

Using VidiScape to load iSee-specific music, video and pictures onto your iPod does not change the other files you have there. Any media content you’ve loaded onto the iPod with iTunes remains safe and undisturbed. The media files from iSee and iTunes coexist peacefully in separate areas of the iPod, and don’t affect each other.

Hint: When the iPod displays “Do not disconnect,” it’s operating as part of the iSee. When the iPod displays the standard iPod menu or screen, it’s operating as an iPod.

The iPod’s disk space is shared by the iSee and iTunes. For example, if you have a 30GB iPod with 10 GB of iTunes on it, the iSee can use the remaining 20 GB for its files.

Three Ways to Use iPod

With your iPod inserted in iSee, there are actually three ways to use it.

iSee on: With iSee power on, you can play iSee content: video, music, or photos that you’ve loaded with VidiScape. And you can record video directly from live TV, DVD, VCR— almost any video source.

iSee off: When the iSee power is off, you can turn the iSee over and use the iPod to play iTunes-loaded music, video, and pictures just as you always have. To listen to iTunes media, simply plug the headphones directly into the iPod. The iSee continues to charge the iPod battery.
