I don't know the name but I know there's a company that advertises such a system in the back of Sportscar. I can check if someone wants.

 

hi Jim, yes the split screen was done in post. I have looked into the 'ovelay' systems and dont like any of them yet. I may end up making my own. Most use either low res cameras, or non digital fromats, and im not interested in moving to either of those options. Also, I dont like any of the visual treatments on the overlayed info on any of the sytems so far, so I am more interested in aquiring the data, and feeding it into a system to sych it with the video and have the data manipulate pre-designed graphics for the speed, tach, et, et...that way you could change the graphics treatment of the 'superimposed' instruments seperatly from the data....i dunno yet,... im just babeling, ... but i have some idea :-) .... just need tiem ti execute on them.

 

i have looked at 4 or 5 different systems...some are better than others, but none do exaclty what I specifically want to do yet. And maybe what I am thnking is just not practical to do in real time, instead its best done in post production.

 

It's hard to count the ones that spend more time in the 'development' phase than in running condition.

heheheh .....

by the way Jim, both my cars have been pretty dang 'reliable'.... although I dont deny that both of them may be anomolies :-)

 

Damian, if you're going to put together a computer-based recorder anyway, you've got more than enough opportunity to datalog all of your stuff through a serial interface, for example, and then animate the output and do the overlay in post...

 

oh yeah, i already have that right now with the data i have logged from the datalogit and the power FC :-)
