I run a video camera in my race car, and I use a box to allow an inset picture from a second source. The inset shows me in the driver's seat, but I'd like to rig up a third camera pointed behind the car and I'd like a button I could hit in the cockpit that would switch the video source for five seconds, and then automatically return to the first view. In other words, the normal inset image is the driver, but when I'd hit the button, that view would change to the rear-pointed camera for five seconds, and then automatically return to the original setting.
I am as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to electronics, but it seems like it should be possible to make an A/B switch for the rca lines from each camera and then somehow come up with a switch that is timed to only change to the B input for 5 seconds before returning to the A camera.
Does anyone want to help a guy out? Here's a video clip that shows what I'm stuck with now. When I want to show the rear-pointed view (like after I overtake another car), I have to edit in a full-screen image from a second camera and recorder. What I would prefer is to have the rear-view image appear in the same inset box, rather than taking up the whole screen.
Thanks in advance.
