I've seen several videos where there were multiple windows showing front facing or cockpit facing in conjunction with rear facing.
How is this done? |

I remember meeting a guy a while back, here or at the club who was working on a hardware & software package that would overlay a gps created map of the track with 3 or 4 cameras. It was way before the GoPro days. You'd hook up 3 or 4 lipstick cameras into their box then into a video recorder, you could set up a quad split, picture in picture or a few other configurations. I'll have to do some research on this, I did some vinyl work for them.

It was View-2.com, and their webpage doesn't work anymore.

I'm still here. I've made the boxes for years that accept up to 4 standard def cameras and also on-screen data. Accelerometers are in the box, and GPS plugs in to do speed, co-ordinates, altitude, and true time. (Other applications include stunt planes) A few years back I decided to let Datatoys.com brand this and do all the selling, and they added a foolproof cable harness for everything as they sell cameras, etc. I'm sure you can still get systems from them, though sales have slowed a lot since the advent of HD, onboard encoding and SDIO cards. But there are some things that just call out for real-time muxing without wasting time with editing. |
