VIDEO VBOX MANUAL Quickstart Guide As shipped, the Video VBOX can be used straight out of the box: 1. Mount the GPS antenna in the centre of the roof of the vehicle. Keep away from roof bars 2. Connect the antenna to the Video VBOX 3.
To have lap-timing information or a circuit map shown on the video, the default internal ‘Scene’ needs to be modified. To do this, you can use the Video VBOX Setup software, see separate manual for more details. Notes on using USB Always use the Supplied USB Cable When connecting the Video VBOX to your computer, make sure you are using the USB cable supplied.
Video VBOX Registration So that Racelogic can continue to provide you with notification of the latest software releases, firmware upgrades and to offer technical support, please register your Video VBOX. Please register your unit here: www.videovbox.co.uk/register...
VIDEO VBOX MANUAL Getting Started with your Video VBOX Logging Modes The Blue LED will come on when the unit is recording video, this LED will flash when the unit is closing the file. NOT REMOVE the SD card if the Record LED is on or is flashing.
When you upload your content to YouTube, or display on a normal television, the interlacing is removed. Windows Media Player does not render the video as well as other media players, so for better quality, Racelogic recommend the free, but excellent, VLC player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
Upgrading multiple units To prevent the Video VBOX from deleting the firmware file, create an empty file called ‘no-delete-vidup.txt’ file on the SD card in the same directory as the upgrade file, the upgrade file will then remain on the card following a successful upgrade.
In the case of the Video VBOX Lite, only use the USB cable (CAB066-2) supplied with the unit, as other cables such as those supplied with card readers may not have a long enough plug to fit into the recessed socket on the front of the box ...
