Applications
ADAS Testing
See the exact moment that a vehicle crosses the line when validating the accuracy of Lane Departure Warning or Blind Sport Detection systems, with up to four cameras. VBOX Video data loggers are also ideal for Park Assist testing, providing a visual reference to the kerb.
Brake & Tyre Testing
The VBOX Video HD2 is compatible with the VBOX Tyre Temperature Monitoring System. Measure, log and display the surface temperature of up to four tyres with heat maps overlaid in real-time on the video, making it easy to evaluate tyre performance.
Handling & Dynamics
See what is happening inside and outside the vehicle at any given time. See the full picture and understand the exact path or behaviour of a vehicle during any application, making use of synchronised video and data.
Real-time Graphic Overlay
VBOX Video HD2
The VBOX Video HD2 is our most advanced video data logger and can record in Full HD at 30 frames per second. It is also available with dual cameras and can log up to 80 vehicle CAN channels.
If you need to log more than 32 CAN channels, then the VBOX Video HD2 might be the best data logger for you. It is extremely popular with OEMs, automotive engineering departments and proving grounds, as the VBOX Video HD2 is available with one or two cameras, that can be mounted inside or outside the vehicle.
Synchronised video and data can make it easier to understand the dynamics and behaviour of a vehicle during a specific test. You can simultaneously play back your video footage in VBOX Test Suite and analyse your data in charts and tables, and even share what you see on your screen with colleagues.
Live streaming to remote engineers
The VBOX Video HD2 is available with an HDMI option, allowing you to stream real-time video and audio to an HDMI compatible monitor, recorder or streaming device such as LiveU Solo.
Live footage can be shared with engineers or departments working remotely. This is particularly useful when only a limited number of people are allowed in the test vehicle, or if you are collaborating with other departments around the world.
Live-streaming can save valuable time, as a team of remote engineers can see what is happening in real-time and share feedback with the test driver using radios or telematics equipment.
Tyre Temperature Monitoring
The VBOX Video HD2 can also be used in conjunction with the RACELOGIC tyre temperature monitoring sensors, making it easy to measure, log and display the surface temperature of all four tyres in real-time.
Data can be recorded by the VBOX Video HD2 data logger and heat maps are overlaid in real-time on the video. The sensors offer 120° FOV and each sensor can measure up to 16 temperature points on a tyre, with surface temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 300 °C.
As this information is available on the video, it is extremely easy to interpret and see exactly what is happening on the test track.
Free Analysis Software
VBOX Test Suite
Our user-friendly, intuitive data analysis software is free and comes preloaded with application specific plugins that make it quick and easy to conduct tests.
You can either save a recorded session as a .vbo file to the SD card and import it into VBOX Test Suite, or you can view your test data live when connecting the unit via a serial cable to your laptop or PC.
- Over 25 application specific plugins
- Live and post-event data analysis
- Create your own custom tests
- Customisable layout
- Easily create charts, tables and reports
- Analyse data sets simultaneously
Add-ons and Accessories
VBOX 4
You can use a VBOX 4 to record vehicle CAN or other sensor data at 100 Hz. In this case VBOX Video is used for display purposes only and will receive the data via CAN at the native log rate (e.g. 10 or 25 Hz) to create a real-time graphical overlay onto the recorded video. The data review will still use 100 Hz data logged by the VBOX 4. You can align the video with the 100 Hz VBOX data in VBOX Test Suite using the “Video Sync” option.
LiveU Solo
This HDMI streaming device allows you to share live footage from the test vehicle with engineers or departments working remotely. LiveU Solo is only compatible with the HDMI version of VBOX Video HD2 logger.
Tyre Temperature Sensors
Measure, log and display the surface temperature of all four tyres as a heat map overlay on your HD2 video footage. The sensors are only compatible with a VBOX Video HD2 or a VBOX Touch.
Camera Mounting Arm
This sturdy adjustable mounting arm allows you to place the cameras inside and outside the vehicle.
Thermocouple Interface
In standalone mode all VBOX video loggers can be used with any of our VBOX input modules. For example the Thermocouple Interface allows you to log 8 K-type thermocouple inputs along with the normal channels of VBOX data.
Remote Start/Stop Logging Switch
Connect a logging switch to the HD2 to give you full control over the logging. The RLACS237 also allows you to log to a USB stick or solid state hard drive.
Mini Input Module
The Mini Input Module allows data such as temperature, RPM, wheel speed, fuel flow, throttle angles and pedal forces to be easily measured along with the VBOX GPS data.
Inertial Measurement Unit
The VBOX IMU provides highly accurate measurements of pitch, roll, and yaw rate using three rate gyros, as well as x, y, z acceleration via three accelerometers.
Analogue Input Module
This 8-channel 16-bit voltage interface allows vehicle analogue output sensor data to be logged by the VBOX Video HD2 and Video VBOX Pro.
Frequency Input Module
The VBOX Frequency & Pulse Counter Input Module enables frequency based signals in the range of 1 Hz to 20 kHz to be recorded.
