VIDEO41 / GettingStarted

Description of the first use of the VIDEO4


Whilst the VIDEO4 is a very powerful and configurable video and data system, it is also very simple to operate. The unit comes pre-configured with an example layout, so do a simple test all you have to do is:

  1. For a first test make sure nothing is connected to the data port.
  2. Connect at least 1 camera to video input 1.
  3. Insert a Compact Flash card formatted as FAT32.
  4. Power up the VIDEO4.
  5. After about 10 seconds the power light should be on solid and the status light should be blinking, if they are not then refer to the section on LEDs to diagnose the problem.
  6. Press the Start/Stop recording button so start a recording, and then after a few minutes, press again to stop recording.
  7. Turn the VIDEO4 off by removing the power supply.
  8. Remove the flash card from the unit and put it into a USB2 reader connected to your PC.
  9. The compact flash card will have a directory on it labelled “NODATE” and within that directory it will have a number of files. Copy the whole directory to your PCs desktop.
  10. Open the directory on your desktop and double click on the VD4 file.
  11. This will start the video file playing in the RT software (assuming that the Race Technology software package has been installed first).
