Video VBOX Lite - in-car video

Housed in a rugged plastic enclosure, the Video VBOX Lite in-car video system is designed to provide many of the features of the Video VBOX Pro, at a much lower price. It has the ability to record DVD quality video from two cameras, logs GPS data at 10Hz, and incorporates a real time customisable graphic overlay.

Video VBOX Lite is smaller and lighter than the Video VBOX Pro, weighing just 360 grams and measuring 12cm x 12cm x 4cm. There are no special mounting requirements or heat dissipation considerations, so the box can be placed anywhere convenient inside the car.

Video VBOX Lite is ideally suited for use on trackdays and can be easily transferred between cars, allowing you to compare your driving with that of your friends! The graphics are fully customisable with the supplied software, and also comes with the full Circuit Tools analysis package.

A very important, but often overlooked point when choosing in car video systems, is that the video recorded by the unit can be played in most standard media players such as Windows Media Player, VLC etc. and can be uploaded directly to YouTube without any conversion.

To ensure reliability, locking connectors are used on the cameras and power supply, and the same ‘tank circuit’ as featured on the Video VBOX Pro is used to deal with un-wanted disruptions to the power supply, ensuring no loss of files.


 

 


Customisation

You can customise all of the graphical elements which are embedded in the video footage using the scene design software supplied as part of the package.

The software package allows you to place your own logos, customised gauges, bar graphs, track maps, G-force gauges and text anywhere onto the scene.

You can also configure the size and layout of the picture in picture for the second camera.

There are a number of pre-defined scenes shipped with each system, and registered users can also download a large library of scenes.

Packages

There are a number of package options with Video VBOX Lite, as we can supply kits with or without cameras. We do full twin camera setup with a high resolution (580L) main camera, and a lower resolution (420L) picture-in-picture camera.

Video VBox Professional

A high-end in-car video system aimed primarily at motor-sport professionals and corporate driving schools, Video VBOX offers a whole host of features in a rugged, CNC machined enclosure.

Video VBOX Pro video logger with VBOX GPS data-logging


Video VBOX combines a Digital Video Recorder, Real-time graphical overlay and a VBOX GPS data-logger in a single, easy to use package.

Many car manufacturers, tyre companies, corporate driving centres, car launch specialists, web magazines and TV programs are now utilising the features of the Video VBOX to enhance their testing, online and broadcast coverage.

 

A very important, but often overlooked point when choosing in car video systems, is that the video recorded by the unit can be played in most standard media players such as Windows Media Player, VLC etc. and can be uploaded directly to YouTube without any conversion.

If you only need to use Video VBOX for a short time, or wish to evaluate one, then we also offer a rental program, whereby any rental costs over a 12 month period can be deducted form the final price of the unit.


Reliability

Alumnium LEMO motorsport connectors
To maintain reliability, high quality LEMO connectors are used throughout, and during development, the units have undergone rigorous vibration testing on our in-house test rig to simulate the most harshest of conditions.

The GPS engine in each Video VBOX is calibrated using our sophisticated LabSat GPS Simulator, in order to maintain the accuracy associated with all VBOX products.


A built-in battery ‘tank circuit’ maintains power for temporary drops in supply, and should the power supply become permanently disconnected whilst recording, all files are safely closed.

Battery backup circuit for reliable recording

 

This hugely important and unique feature makes the frustration of lost video a thing of the past.

All other sold state video recorders on the market will lose the entire video file if the power drops out temporarily, something which we were careful to avoid at all cost during the design phase, as in a professional environment, lost video means a loss of revenue!

 

 


USB Stick functionality

USB host functionality for USB memory sticks


By using the optional USB host cable, Video VBOX can store the video and data files to an external USB stick, which means the main video logger can be placed anywhere convenient, and the user will still have easy access to the storage medium. This setup is ideal for corporate environments.
