Create HD2 Scenes
A Scene is the setup file (‘.VVHSN’ file) which defines the layout of the graphical overlay and sets the system parameters such as logging conditions, CAN channels, etc. You can create the scenes you need in the VBOX Video Setup software.
It is important that you apply particular settings to the scenes for each HD2 unit.
You can set Scene 1 up to your preference/requirements, (logos, dashboard icons, PiP, etc.). You may also want to modify the PiP ratios for different views.
Scene 2 should be a copy of Scene 1, but with the 100 Hz data being accepted over CAN from the VBOX.
|
IMPORTANT Apply different settings to each scene. Only one scene should contain the CAN data. By following this method, there will be no ghosting of the data when you overlay the 2 video files and data sets for the post-processing. |
