Since its release seven months ago, LabSat has already made a mark on the GPS Simulator market, with uptake from a number of product manufacturers looking for realistic and repeatable GPS testing.
Development has continued at a fast pace, and we can now announce that LabSat has a new capability: video synchronisation.
Using the Racelogic Video VBOX, a GPS data logger used by automotive and motorsports professionals, perfectly synchronised multi-camera video can be recorded alongside the GPS RF data.
This is possible because the internal GPS engine in Video VBOX time stamps the video, enabling the RF data to be perfectly synchronised, with the GPS data graphically superimposed on the image during recording.
If you’re a developer, this means you can film your test route alongside the GPS RF data and play it back in sync, with a graphic overlay.
This gives a unique visual element to testing, and it’s ideal for developing location based services. It also enables you to demonstrate equipment at exhibitions and in training.
Julian Thomas (MD) said: “To see the video, in perfect time with the GPS RF playback, provides engineers with valuable information about the real world conditions encountered during the recording.”
