  Dashboard camera recommendations

  Posted by Dave Horoschak on December 16, 2018 at 6:20 pm

  I have an upcoming project and could use some advice on finding a suitable camera.

  I need to take live video of the touchscreen on a car’s dashboard, send it over SDI to display on a projector.

  I’ve been experimenting with a Marshall CV350 (https://www.lcdracks.com/servers-cameras/HD-SDI-cameras/CV350-minicamera.php) which isn’t bad, except I have problems getting the exposure set correctly so it doesn’t blow out the light parts. More troubling, it’s grainy at low light levels and I have problems with the picture rolling or flickering at lower brightness levels, I assume it has something to do with the refresh rate of the touchscreen but adjusting the shutter speed doesn’t seem to help.

  Has anyone done this successfully before? Or can anyone recommend a source for more information on the best gear and setup to make this work?

  It’s preferable that the camera have SDI out, but I can work around it as long as I can convert the output to SDI for a 100′ run.
