The vCam-5 control module from Vivax-Metrotech Corp. comes preconfigured to work with Lateral Assessment and Certification Program and Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program software packages. By using the module’s RS232 and video composite sockets, the needed two-way communication to run the software on a PC or CATV trucks computer is achieved. The communication between the control module and PC allows for the text overlay to be sent to the module and to control the distance counter. On the other end, the PC receives raw video, date, time and distance out from the control module. 800/446-3392; www.vivax-metrotech.com.
