Product Usage Instructions

  1. Mount the VBOX HD Lite Main Unit securely using the lightweight windscreen suction mount.
  2. Connect the GNSS Antenna to the MCX Connector 1 PIN.
  3. Connect the Can, Serial, and Power Out using the Hirose 1 connector. Follow the pin functions for proper connection.
  4. Connect the Can, Serial, and Power Out using the Hirose 2 connector. Follow the pin functions for proper connection.
  5. For video preview, connect the Micro HDMI to the supplied WiFi dongle.
  6. Ensure the VBOX HD Lite is powered by connecting it to a suitable power source.
  7. Use the provided Circuit Tools data analysis software to analyze the recorded GNSS data and CAN Bus data.
  8. To improve lap timing, use the compatible predictive lap timing displays that show live Delta time.

Note: For accurate GPS positioning, follow best practices for GNSS data collection and consider external factors such as satellite availability, obstructions, and atmospheric conditions.

Introductions

  • VBOX HD Lite is an all-in-one video data logging system for motorsport that records 1080p HD video with fully synchronized GNSS data.
  • HD Lite features RACELOGIC’s reliable “only when moving” log strategy, enabling the device to start and stop logging on its own based on vehicle movement and preventing the microSD card from filling up with static video in the paddock.
  • GNSS data and CAN Bus data are recorded with the video, allowing in-depth analysis via our intuitive Circuit Tools data analysis software, enabling the driver to quickly identify where time is being lost and where time can be gained around a circuit.
  • The VBOX HD Lite is also compatible with our predictive lap timing displays which show live Delta time, enabling the driver to improve whilst on track.
