Video VBOX - State of the art in-car video
Optimised for Motorsport and Trackdays, the Video VBOX in-car video system from Racelogic combines a Digital Video Recorder, Real-time graphical overlay and a 10Hz VBOX GPS data-logger in a single, powerful package.
GPS enhanced video logging is fast becoming an essential tool in driver and vehicle development. The Racelogic Video VBOX is widely regarded as one of the very best in-car video systems available, both in video quality, flexibility, update rate, resolution of the graphics and reliability. To see how it can deliver real results in lap-time improvements, please read this article for an example of how a novice became a front runner in just one weekend's racing.
In whatever level of motor-sport you participate, a GPS enhanced video logger not only produces exciting in-car video footage, but also allows you carry out in-depth driver and vehicle analysis, without any training using the ground breaking Circuit Tools analysis package.
The Video VBOX records the graphically enhanced video to an SD card which can then be played on all common media players and uploaded to YouTube without conversion. Data from the GPS engine is synchronised with the video at source for later analysis using the supplied software.
Multiple camera angles and overlaid graphical data give you much more information about your driving and the vehicle's performance, allowing you to improve both areas with one tool.
Video VBOX comes in two different versions, the Video VBOX Pro, a no-compromise package aimed at motor-racing professionals and a lower cost ‘Lite’ setup with the amateur racer and trackday enthusiast in mind.
Both versions are design to be rugged and reliable, and can be used on Cars, Bikes, Boats and Planes.
Being small and light weight, the Video VBOX Lite can easily be carried on your person, making it suitable for skiing, cycling, horse riding or even skydiving!
A key advantage of the Video VBOX over the competition is the fact that it is the only one-box solution which combines the multi-camera video recorder, data-logger and real-time overlay into a single unit. You don't need to post process the video to produce the graphics, and you don't need to connect to a separate data-logger.
The video footage can be opened directly in Windows Media Player or VLC, and also uploaded directly to YouTube without any time consuming conversion process. The other key advantage is the inclusion of a small lithium ion battery in each unit which can power the unit and safely close video files to keep the footage without corruption when the power is interrupted, which is an essential feature for reliable track use.
