System info

Player software

All my Real Life Videos are running with TacxFortius (Tacx i-Magic / Flow / Cosmos with Upgrade VR-Interface), Tacx Trainer Software (TTS, all versions, Bushido with Upgrade PC) and Tacx Videoplayer. There is also the GPS data on the DVDs, so Real Life Training is possible (but not together with video — this isn't allowed by Tacx).

Please notice the hints on my Tacx Software Supportpage if you are using the Tacx Trainer Software.

My videos are also running with Daum ergometers. You can download the required software from www.ergoplanet.de. Futher information can be found on my Ergoplanet Supportpage.

My videos are supported by the UniVET System training software. Following the instructions you can train on KETTLER, DAUM, CycleOps and Cyclus 2. More detailed information can be found here on my UniVET Supportpage.
