Meeting the video recording demands of Bloodhound

07 November 2014

With Bloodhound SSC’s objective of reaching 1000 mph to smash the current world land speed record, extraordinary demands are being placed on the video system being developed by Stemmer Imaging to produce and record video data for both engineering and broadcast purposes. The Gecko image recording and compression application from Vision Experts has been specially adapted to meet the demands of this remarkable project.

Stemmer’s Mark Williamson, said: "The Gecko system was a natural fit for the system since it connects to industrial vision cameras using Stemmer Imaging’s Common Vision Blox imaging toolkit. In addition, by adapting the software, it offers a great deal of flexibility – a significant number of Gecko systems delivered have some level of customisation for the application.”

Three identical vision systems have been built. One is with the Bloodhound team, one is with the Stemmer development team and the third with Vision Experts. In this way each new development can be verified on three independent systems.
