Dual Video with
GPS Timestamps
|
|
The Issue - Switching between two video
setups for different uses and having accurate timing. |
|
The Setup - ST80 holding a
Mintron (SAC9V) on top of my 12" LX200. |
 |
|
The Watec 802h mounted on the
main OTA and the Power Cord Splitter to power both cameras.
 |
|
|
|
Here's the Solution - Radio Shack #15-1983
4-1 Video Selector Switch
 |
|
This Switch "Coverts Composite Video to
S-Video" With a proper cable, you
can record the Luminance from *ANY* video camera, not just one
that has S-Video OUT. This will be the next test, as I have not
done that here. "Input 1" already is the Luminance from the
Mintron.

Watch the video, as I switch from the
Mintron video stream (with the crosshairs) to the Watec video
stream (no crosshairs and the timestamps just keep on trucking along.
Dual Video Timing

Now I can record events, such as Geosats,
with the ST80. Then slew to the Moon and record occultations.
All with the press of a couple buttons. |
