Yup. If you have an aim system and want to capture the audio using a chatterbox. I'm interested in the original item the OP posted. This one interfaces with a racing radios system and is quite a bit more money.

Ah, got it. Matt's original post morphed into my Smarty/chatterbox thread.
Apologies for the confusion.

Default Ordering the 4m Cable

Peter, even though I have a SC-HD coming my way, I would like to order the V0256300 cable (CAN + Jack Cable for Smarty Cam External Microphone). I believe this is the 4m version. Please let me know how best to get funds to you. Thanks and I hope you and your family enjoyed a wonderful Christmas!

Toby, I haven't had those since the HD came out, but if you'll check with Roanoke, Virginia distributor, they may be able to help. I'll ask around as well. Speak to Mike or Cameron.

Peter,

Please let us know when they make that cable available for the SCHD. In the meantime, if it's not ready for the start of the season, what would be needed? You are all talking chinese to me, so I need this explain like I'm 6 yo.

Thanks

c.

Peter, as it turns out, Pegasus Auto Racing has these cables in the 4m length in stock. I ordered one from them today! Found a convenient place to mount the TVC-15 in the car and am all set once the cable arrives. Thanks for your assistance on this.

I/O Port has recently added some items to our menu. Customers have been raving about our Radio to Camera Interface, the TVC15. Priced at $199.95, the 10% discount applies. This unit will allow you to record the communications between the driver, pit crew and spotters with your in-car video camera. The ambient sounds in the car are also captured with a remote microphone. It works with all brands of race radios utilizing a standard 5-pin connector harness (or 4-conductor IMSA or NASCAR connectors are also available at an extra charge).
Imagine hearing all of the spotters’ information, the pit crew’s comments, and all of the driver’s intended (and unintended) comments. The ambient sounds in the car will be clean, without all the wind noise common with many cameras’ built-in microphones. Use your in-car video for sharing and for driver and crew improvement. Your in-car videos will sound so much better!
The sale is for Internet orders only. Upon checkout, watch for a place to enter a coupon code. Type in 'SALE2013' and your savings will be taken off your total at this time.
not too shabby. i broke down and ordered one.

Resurrecting an old thread here....

Rick, Jerry or Peter..... any recommendations on placement of the external mic in a Cup Car? I'm going to install my TVC-15 in line with my radio and connect to my older SmartyCam this weekend in preparation for the Club Race at College Station. And never having enough "toys", I *also* plan to plug in my SmartyCam HD and get two versions of video. I've updated the firmware on both cameras and the MXL dash to current versions, and have a DataHub to plug in the various pieces and parts.

So now all I need is a suggestion on mic placement. Anyone care to offer up their experiences?

For those interested in a DIY solution using a GoPro and a I/O Port TVC-15, you can find a how-to starting from page 20 here:

I don't know - haven't had the pleasure of placing a mic in a Cup car!
In my 993, which has full (RS) interior and both front seats, I literally laid the mic on the rear seat cushion, which seemed to work as well as anywhere else.
I think it is important to keep it away from wind noise, but even that problem can be minimized with foam around the mic. Perhaps also not laying right on a metal panel.
But beyond that, all I can suggest is that you experiment.
Or better yet, Peter will probably have a suggestion or 2.
Have fun at the race; apparently you also like to plug stuff in (me too).

No problem. I've probably learned more from that issue than I have from about 6 books I've read. Great primer on a lot of subjects.

Appears as though external audio will be an option in the new SC GP HD.

That's a very attractive option.
