***QUICK NOTES ABOUT HDEV VIDEO***
Black Image = International Space Station (ISS) is on the night side of the Earth.
No Audio = Normal. There is no audio by design. Add your own soundtrack.

The High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment aboard the ISS was
activated April 30, 2014. It is mounted on the External Payload Facility
of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module. This experiment
includes several commercial HD video cameras aimed at the earth which
are enclosed in a pressurized and temperature controlled housing. Video
from these cameras is transmitted back to earth and also streamed live
on this channel. While the experiment is operational, views will
typically sequence though the different cameras. Between camera
switches, a gray and then black color slate will briefly appear. Since
the ISS is in darkness during part of each orbit, the images will be
dark at those times. During periods of loss of signal with the ground or
when HDEV is not operating, a gray color slate or previously recorded
video may be seen.
Analysis of this experiment will be conducted to assess the effects of
the space environment on the equipment and video quality which may help
decisions about cameras for future missions. High school students helped
with the design of some of the HDEV components through the High Schools
United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program. Student teams will
also help operate the experiment. To learn more about the HDEV
