The X300 can be fed GPS data and embed coordinates into imagers for location identification and
real-time mapping playback in PCLink.
The X300 can receive GPS data through the
RS232 connector and embed the data into recorded
images. GPS data includes positioning and speed and users can optionally turn these ON or OFF.
When turned on, the data will be recorded with each image.
The X300 is compatible with the standard NMEA-0183 GPS protocol. A suitable GPS serial unit can be
wired to specific pins on the X300
RS232 connector .
The X300 can p5V to the GPS mouse through the
RS232 connector . Only GPS units which
operate at this voltage and draw no more than 200mA should be used.
EMBED GPS POSITION – When set to YES will embed the position information in recorded images.
EMBED GPS SPEED – When set to YES will embed the speed information in recorded images.
SPEED UNITS can be set for miles per hour (MPH) or kilometres per hour (KPH).
NB: If the user chooses not to embed GPS data then it will not appear on the screen during
playback in PCLink . However the data is still included in the XBA files, therefore the speed dials
will still be shown in PCLink.
