Prior to the GoPros! Originally custom-designed in 2004 for Motorcycle Road-Racing applications, this fantastic custom-engineered "Portable Audio/Video Recording System" can be easily installed and adapted to any race car.

The system uses no less than two https://pbase.com/slidevalve911rsr/image/65092270 Professional Panasonic AG-DVC1 Portable Mini-DV VTR (video terminal recorders). These Panasonic VTR's come in either NTSC (US) or PAL (Europe) video formats and along with a few other "hi-end" pro-audio/video components https://pbase.com/slidevalve911rsr/image/65092277 the system delivers unparallel performance in a very small package.

The unique ease of use comes from being able to control the 2 Panasonic VTR's in tandem into "record" mode or "paused" using a toggle switch https://pbase.com/slidevalve911rsr/image/65092256. In our case, the driver does not have to worry about having to turn-on 2 cameras at the same time, not to mention having to operate the small controls of this type of equipment with "racing-gloves" on. One finger-operation is all that is required! ;)
