Description

Development and testing of cutting-edge vision-based Autonomous Driving and ADAS systems require lots of real tests in different driving situations encountered under different road conditions. These time-consuming, hard to repeat, costly, and due to the limited number of executed test scenarios unreliable road tests, can be largely substituted with Xylon’s logiRECORDER Automotive HIL Video Logger. This all-in-one data logger enables non-intrusive and low latency recording of raw multi-channel video and network data, data analysis, and synchronous playback of the logged data in realistic Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulations that replicate test-vehicle’s multi-camera video system and in-vehicle data busses on developer’s desk.

logiRECORDER 3.0 and logiRECORDER 3.2 models will no longer be manufactured. The EOS date for last order acceptance: September 1, 2023 or when total inventory is consumed by orders. Factory orders will not be accepted after this time.

The discontinued logiRECORDER models will be actively maintained and Xylon will provide technical assistance following the End-of-Sale (EOS) date. Xylon also offers a hardware kit and services that enable an upgrade of logiRECORDER 3.0/3.2 loggers to the 3.5 version of the device.
