Bringing your video and data together

Lets face it - bringing video of your weekend driving adventures to impress your coworkers on Monday can be great fun. But have you ever had trouble convincing others that you actually hit 110 on the straight in your Miata? Need proof of your record breaking laptime? Have we got the thing for you!

Okay, salesman voice off. Most of the reputable data acquisition companies have recently added updates to their software that allow the viewing of a video clip alongside corresponding data feeds. However, all of the data acquisition software stops at that, and doesn't go further to allow actual video/data merging.

Trackvision, started by a couple of local Porsche Club racers, solved that problem a few years ago with an easy to use program that allowed integrating your data acquisition file with your video file. Simple enough, right? Apparently, they felt the need for version 2.1, with a much improved interface, more video formats (16:9, HD abilities), increased datalogger compatibility (including RacePak and Traqmate), and more customizable features (such as over 20 different dashboard displays). What does the end result offer? Pictures (or in this case, video) are better then words:
