STACK Solid State Digital Video Recorder

Compact & Rugged High Quality MPEG2 Digital Video Recorder...

For high quality video recordings on the move, the miniature Solid-State Digital Video Recorder (DVR) from Stack provides the optimum solution and is specifically designed for use in harsh environments. The DVR employs broadcast standard MPEG-2 video compression to record high quality real-time video and audio direct to a PC flash card. This card can be removed with ease and played on a PC or laptop using a standard media player application.

The Stack DVR is housed inside a ruggedized and sealed enclosure, specifically designed and manufactured to protect the unit in harsh and extreme environments. The unit is compact and durable with no moving parts (other than the sealed flash card access door), and is capable of operating where normal VCRs or DV recorders are not. Recording in harsh environments, such as continual shock and vibration and extreme climate conditions is now entirely possible, making it ideal for all mobile and on-vehicle video recording applications.

A data overlay feature is also provided so that date and time may be stamped onto the recorded video. Recordings can be archived direct to DVD for playback on either a PC or a DVD player.

The DVR has been introduced specifically to complement our range of motorsport products. However, the Stack DVR can be used as a stand-alone, harsh environment, solid-state Digital Video Recorder for use with other video systems, wherever mobile video recording is required. We can also supply the DVR with a video kit incorporating a bullet CCD camera, and even a full Synchronized Video or VCR Video Overlay Data Acquisition System.
