Podium Live Data Overlay on Video

Hi there, just ordered my Mk3 unit today. I was playing around with the idea of somehow using the data that is relayed back to the pits via 3G to overlay data on live footage.

This will seriously boost sponsorship attractiveness as it is a selling point having more airtime due to cool gauges, etc.

Is this at all possible with an API in the future?

Hi, Thank you for the suggestion. Live data + video is something we're looking at for 2018, we think you'll like what we'll offer.

We will also be releasing an beta API for Podium in the future; no ETA on when that may happen.

Thanks for your interest!

Great news! If you ever need a beta tester, you know where to find me :P

We have had more than one local film crew showing interest in our DashWare overlayed videos, asking if we can show data real time. This will also be a nice selling point of the upcoming PodiumConnect system.

Cheers.
