Data Logging to your video cam, sweet stuff Options

[seanery]

There's been a discussion about camera mounts on the Rennlist racing list. This tidbit came out of that.
Trackvision check out some of the videos on the gallery page. I sent them an email regarding availability of the product. It will be released in July.

Looks cool to me, although the throttle sensors don't seem to be sensitive enough.

then you get to wait for the software package to crunch the data, generate the graphics, and merge it with the video. So for a 20 minute run, you *might* get to see the result 40+ minutes later

Nope, open the trackvison software,open the raw DL90 generated CSV file, open the video file, synch the two, then render, you can see the overlay real time!
when you render and save it may take some time,depending on your PC's memory and processor speed

What you call render I called crunch. There is at least one gizmo out there that puts data on your track video as it is being recorded, no laptop, DL90, or downloading necessary. Do need a stand-alone camera and some sort of VCR/camcorder. No graphics, but useful trackside info.

Paul knows I developed something similar, but bailed on offering it for sale. Too many similar offerings for too small a market.

Didn't mean to poop on the software product, I just think the information is most useful if you can apply what you learned immediately, ie on your next run if not during your current run (which would require a very different approach).
