Solid-State Video Solution For high quality video recordings on the move, Stack’s rugged Solid-State Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) provide the optimum solution and are specifically designed for use in harsh environments found in Motorsport.
Stack's digital video recorders employ broadcast standard MPEG-2 video compression to record high quality real-time video and audio direct to a Compact Flash (CF) card. The card can be removed with ease and played on a PC or laptop using a standard media player application. Recordings can be archived direct to DVD for playback on either a PC or a DVD player.
Stack DVRs feature a rugged machined aluminium housing 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 CF 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 demanding recording applications. Its anti-vibration and shock-resistant abilities make Stack DVR's uniquely resistant to extreme conditions encountered in Motorsport.
The new Stack range of DVRs has a model to suit your needs: choose from variants offering up to 4 camera inputs, higher bit-rate options for broadcast quality recordings, models offering completely sealed units to IP67, extended operating temperature ranges, and extended recording capacity.
Stack DVRs provide superior high-quality video recording in real time over a wide range of bit rates suitable for different applications - up to 15 Mbps is available, quality equivalent or better than DV tape.
Stack's PRO-4 incorporates an integrated 4 input video multiplexer to allow any format of up to 4 cameras (composite PAL or NTSC) to be recorded simultaneously on one screen with fully programmable scaling, crop and positioning.
For high quality, multiple camera input video recordings on the move, the miniature solid-state PRO-4 Digital Video Recorder (DVR) provides the optimum solution and is specifically designed for the motorsport environment. The DVR employs broadcast standard MPEG2 video compression to record very high quality video and audio direct to a Compact Flash (CF) card. This card can be removed with ease and played on a PC or laptop using a standard media player application. Recordings can be archived direct to DVD for playback on a standard DVD player.
The PRO-4 DVR has 4 camera inputs and a 4-input multiplexer, allowing virtually any combination of 1 to 4 camera images (composite PAL or NTSC) on one screen, with configurable scaling, cropping, positioning and picture-in-picture.
Unlike less sophisticated products, Stack’s multiple camera input DVRs give the user full control over all screen elements.
Together with comprehensive recording set-up using the DVR Configuration Utility, standard across all models (see right), the advanced Custom Display Utility provides full control of each picture’s size and position, together with picture cropping and overlay.

The system includes pre-set display modes - all editable. Camera identification shown on-screen is also fully configurable.
The Custom Display Utility gives complete control of each picture’s size, position, picture cropping and position. Simple click and drag changes each input channel.

The PRO-4 DVR is housed inside a rugged, fully waterproof enclosure, specifically designed and manufactured to protect the unit from the motorsport environment. 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.
The PRO-4 DVR can be used as a stand-alone multiple camera DVR, or as part of a fully Synchronized Video-Logger system, complete with modular data acquisition from 8 to 128 channels.
Being a fully waterproof unit, and operating from 0-70ºC, the PRO-4 DVR is ideally suited for all types of motorsport, from Formula 1 to karts, bikes to boats, and many more applications.
Up to 4 camera inputs with programmable scaling, crop and positioning.
5 Fixed bitrates (4 to10 Mbps) + Variable Bit Rate
Intended for the more demanding motorsport applications, especially in wet and/or high vibration environments, the PRO DVR is a fully waterproof unit, utilising 3 Motorsport AS connectors. The PRO DVR has all of the features of the PRO-4 DVR above, sharing its extended temperature operating range (0 to 70ºC) but with only 1 camera input.
The PRO DVR is suitable for cars, bikes, boats, karts - in fact all types of motorsport and more.
The Clubman DVR is perfect for all forms of club and semi-professional motorsport. Like all models in the Stack DVR range, the Clubman DVR is a rugged, solid-state unit that will give reliable operation year after year. The Clubman DVR offers high-performance coupled with outstanding reliability.
Each Stack DVR comes complete with harnesses, including camera and mic power outputs, record control switch and status lamp. The externally visible bi-colour LED status lamp indicates record status, CF card “free memory” status and common error conditions. A comprehensive user guide is also included.
Video Kit We can also supply the DVR with a video kit incorporating a bullet / lipstick camera (CCD) high-resolution and amplified microphone kit providing the highest quality video and audio signals, to match the recording high quality of Stack’s Digital Video Recorder range.
CF Cards We are happy to supply Harsh Environment Compact Flash (CF) cards in various memory sizes and industrial or commercial grades. Please contact your dealer/ distributor for details.
Data Overlay The PRO-4 DVR has built-in date and time overlay stamp capability but by adding a Stack Data Overlay module a range of real-time performance data along with engine parameters and driver activity channels can be overlaid on the recorded video picture.
The user-configurable Alarm Conditions enable the driver to identify vehicle parameters which should correctly operate within specified ranges. In the event of this operational range being exceeded an alarm (such as Low Oil Pressure) will be raised to alert the driver.
Synchronized Video Logging The Stack Synchronized Video-Logger System enables up to 256 channels of data from any point on a vehicle to be recorded synchronously with video from as many as 4 cameras and 2 channels of audio.
The system uses a unique approach to enable data from our Display and Data-Logging Systems to be continuously synchronized with video and audio recorded using a standard camcorder or video recorder. For high vibration and restricted space applications, Stack's range of harsh environment DVRs are the perfect video and audio source.
