Help on issues you run into with LapTimer; in case you have a question on how to use LapTimer, use the forum "Using LapTimer" instead

Hi,

That's intended in case you select "Master" as the "MultiCam Preset" in LapTimer's Settings. In case you want to keep your own settings, select "Use MultiCam Settings" instead.

From the doc (Video Documentation on http://www.gps-laptimer.de/documentation):
MultiCam Video Preset

As mentioned in our MultiCam scenario, LapTimer can be used to control the video preset not only for its own video recordings (LapTimer ‣ Administration ‣ Settings ‣ Video ‣ Resolution), but for MultiCam too. The setting can be found in LapTimer ‣ Administration ‣ Settings ‣ MultiCam Control ‣ MultiCam Preset. The reason we have added this setting is it allows the user to optimize memory and energy usage, and transfer size of footage recorded. As an example, if you know you will use the front wheel footage from our sample scenario as a picture in picture video only (i.e. not as a master video), it makes sense to record it in single density from the beginning. There are three settings available: Picture in Picture optimized video settings for later use as a picture in picture video, Master will set the video to allow a later use as a master video, and None does not change the video settings selected in MultiCam itself. Use the last setting value in case you want to set an individual video preset in MultiCam or the external cam itself.

Besides selecting the resolution, this settings defines the role of a video recorded too. So if you select Picture in Picture for the MultiCam device, it will be added as PiP to lap associations. Otherwise it will be the master video.
