Data Overlay AiM SmartyCam 3 Dual
For the SmartyCam 3 Dual, you can freely select which parameters are located at which position in the live video. The following parameters are available for the data overlay:
Engine speed, accelerator position, speed, brake pedal position, temperatures, accelerations, pressures, position on the track, driver and team name, time / date, lap time, gear, team logo
The DataOverlay can be created and modified at any time with the RaceStudio 3 programme and transferred to the camera with the USB-C data transfer cable or SD card.

Pixels are not everything |
With Global Shutter CMOS technology, image distortion is avoided during video recording. This is possible because the images are not captured "pixel by pixel" as conventionally, but simultaneously. The result is footage that is still captured at higher engine speeds without the so-called ripple effect. |
|
The lens and the size of the sensor play an important role for cameras used in motor sports. It should also be robust and avoid distortions caused by fast changes of direction. In addition, there is the problem that both near and far things have to come across sharply in the video. |

|
Memory
1 hour of recording takes about 5GB |
|
The videos of the SmartyCam 3 Sport are compressed to a user-friendly size without losses by the H.264 format. This means that we only need 5 GB for a one-hour Full HD recording.
These files are stored on SD cards. With current SD cards that have a storage capacity of up to 2 TB, you can record more than 400 hours of video without having to change the card.
When buying an SD card, pay attention to the read and write speeds. We recommend the SanDisk SDXC Extreme Pro / Ultra. |

The optics
Normal optics of the SmartyCam HD compact: when mounted in the cross of the roll cage of touring cars and GT cars, the image width is from A-pillar to A-pillar, which means the complete windscreen. |
|
Wide angle of the SmartyCam HD compact: with the same mounting, the field of vision expands from exterior mirror to exterior mirror, with the left one usually covered by the seat. |

Mounting
|
|
There is a 1/4 inch thread in the holder of the bullet camera of the SmartyCam 3 Dual. This can be used to attach the finger camera to the vehicle using either a suction cup or a pipe claw.
Optionally and if prescribed by the organiser, the camera can be additionally secured with a wire rope.
