The vertical placement of the lids on the 200L drums produced much of the expsoure due to a bolus of air pushed into the drum and then escaping. Changing to sliding the lids on the drums greatly reduced the dust.<\/p>\n<p>This eventually lead to my developming an 8 channel telementry system, with 8 hours of digital data recording &#8211; one of the channels was from a heart rate monitor to pick up the signal from a Polar heart rate band. The system used 430 MHz telemetry and the video from webcams was compressed on the fly and synchronised with the data streams.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-916 aligncenter\" title=\"VEM GU\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.dbohs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/VEM-GU-300x261.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dbohs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/VEM-GU-300x261.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.dbohs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/VEM-GU.png 591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ideally, the process of editing a video should be able to be done at the time of recording, with statistics to show the expsoure attributable to each part of a process.
