VideoSyncPro-based Import

As displayed in the picture, the sensor data recording starts any time BEFORE the video recording starts.

The key to success, lays in the cable that connects the VideoSyncPro recording station with one of the input channels on the sensor data recorder.

Everything else is than handled by VideoSyncPro.

The recorded sensor data is only of interest to us from the moment the video recording started. That is why we only need to import the data starting from the synchronization marker, inserted by Mangold VideoSync Pro the moment the video recording started.

IMPORTANT: Per default, the VideoSyncPro signal is send to a channel called PushButton, but it can be named anything else. You need to know the name of the channel that hold the syncing signal used in your setup!
