Off to the races

FlashBack-2 and FourSight have proved to be a winning
partnership in the motorsport industry.


Ovation Systems' FlashBack-2 compact flash card video recorder and FourSight advance video quad have proved to be a winning combination in motorsport. As part of an onboard multi-camera recording system installed by Drivedata, spectacular footage has been captured from events such as the Britcar Championship, the recent Le Mans 24 hour race and even F1. Orginally designed for covert video surveillance use by the police and military, FlashBack-2 and FourSight's rugged capabilities have been thoroughly proven onboard some of the world's fastest cars.

John Chambers from Drivedata who supply motorsport teams with onboard camera systems said "combining the advance video quad with the digital video recorder has been an ideal choice for motorsport teams who want to capture different angles from track and driver during race events". One such team was Serverware who took part in the 2006 Britcar Championship. When they approached John Chambers they requested a reliable in car recording system that could withstand harsh conditions. John Chambers further mentioned "When a car is stripped for racing they can suffer from extreme vibration, noise and heat during the race. It was therefore important that the system can withstand these conditions whilst recording race footage.

Leading motorsports production company Greenlight Television uses the FlashBack-2 digital video recorder to bring spectacular viewing and sensation of speed during the Isle of Man TT race. The digital video recorder needed to be as light and compact as possible as well as being able to cope with the harsh environment of a racing bike travelling along public roads at speeds of up to 206mph. The video quality of the FlashBack-2 was also a very important element when selecting this product, as footage would be used on television programmes distributed around the world. The other benefit Greenlight realised was that there was no need for conversion. Being MPEG-2 compliant it allowed them to download and edit the footage ready for broadcasting.
