    STACK ST8302 and ST8360 Video-Logger System Chapter 1. Introduction Chapter 1. Introduction The Stack VCR Video-Logger system transforms your in-car video recorder into a powerful data-logging system without the need for a PC. Using video overlay technology, real-time performance data is superimposed onto the video picture along with engine parameters and driver activity channels.

  • Page 9 The video recorder must have an A/V-in connecter (4W 3.5mm Jack socket) for use with a CCTV-type remote camera. Many of the Stack Video-Logger’s ease-of-use features rely upon the recorder having a ‘LAN-C’ control connector (3W 2.5mm Jack socket). Although the LAN-C connection is not essential for operation, it is highly recommended and ensures that the best possible video quality and reliability is achieved (see p.7-8).
  • Page 10 STACK ST8302 and ST8360 Video-Logger System Expansion system (ST8360VS and ST8360VSM ‘Max’) The Expansion system connects to the harness of an existing Stack display, steering wheel or logging device. The harness provides power for the system and access to data from the existing sensors.
