Configuration Through Race Studio 3
Once
the connection has been executed, it is necessary to configure the
device, defining a specific event that causes the camera image
displaying. For example, if you wish to turn ON the camera when you
insert the Reverse Gear, these are the steps to follow:
- Open Race Studio 3, connect your system via Wi-Fi or USB and create a new configuration (or modify an existing one).
- The Gear, of course, is supposed to be one of the available channels. It is possible to obtain it
Through
analog sensor, plugging it into one of the device analog channels,
which must be configured as expressed on the right (Channels tab). The
“Use reverse gear” box must be ticked.
Through ECU, selecting the compatible protocol with your vehicle ECU from the ECU Stream tab.
Open
the Trigger Commands tab and click “Add New Command”: select “First
Camera Input Page” as a command to activate when the Gear is equal to
“R”.
Settings Through Aim Device Menu
The camera parameters setting must be executed from the device menu directly, as explained below:
- Press “MENU/<<” button.
- The
system offers the possibility to set the image format (PAL or NTSC –
according to the camera technical specs), brightness and contrast for
each available input.
Pressing ‘PREV’ and ‘NEXT’, move to the VIDEO IN icon and press ‘ENTER’.
If no key is pressed, after 5 seconds the menu disappears, showing the camera image in live streaming, so that it can be better positioned.
