Hi,
I'd like to control 2 GoPro cameras from HLT at once, is this possible?
Also, any plans to make post-processing of videos to add graphic overlays available on the computer instead of my phone? HLT overlays are much preferred over what else is currently available.
Thanks!

Re: Control Multiple GoPros at once
Only 1 Gopro can be connected to HLT...and probably will stay that way until Gopro decides to make a proper API available to the public.
I guess you could go for some kind of chain setup (not tested): Using a Bluetooth device like the Dual XGPS160 you could run for example two iOS devices synced to it via Bluetooth, each controlling one Gopro over Wifi. Network setting of the Gopro need to be different of course. That way you should get 4 videos that are actually aligned properly.
But that's just a wild setup theory and might not even be possible.

Harry is planing on releasing a Mac App at some point. That might do what you request.
Right now you can either export CSV data to your PC and use software like Dashware, Racerender or Trackvision to overlay or you can give green screen a shot. Import a blank green screen to HLT, overlay it with your data and then use it on your PC with some video editing software. Search the forum, some people have done it already with good results.

I have requested a way to connect more than one HERO at a time from GoPro. Let's see what happens. Till then, I'd suggest to manually record video, i.e. start them before you leave the pits. Using the remote control you can start them at the same time, so aligning laps and external footage is as easy as aligning one video.macduff wrote:Hi,

Any updates from GoPro on this front?
Re: Control Multiple GoPros at once
To my knowledge there will be no option to connect multiple GoPros short term.
