System information

Real Life Videos

All my Real Life Videos contain an altitude and speed profile, so that the player software can control the resistance of the training role, as well as the playback speed of the video is adapted to the current training situation.

As the only RLV producer I offer a free update service on the control files. Therefore also owners of older videos will benefit of ongoing improvements of my production process, as these old RLVs will be adapted.

I am very proud that I am the only manufacturer able to offer a perfect synchronized video across different platforms. Due to the production process of the control files no other manufacturer was able to provide this (control files generated for Tacx systems system aren't 100% in sync on other systems — or they are not in sync on Tacx).

My RLVs can also be played on the DVD — if the playback software supports this.

Player software

If you own a trainer without pc-connection, you can use the Video Player from Tacx to view the videos at your pc. Find more information on my Tacx Software Supportpage.

All my RLVs are running with the blue TacxFortius software, all versions of the Tacx Trainer Software and the Tacx Videoplayer. There is also the GPS data on many DVDs, so Real Life Training (Google Earth) is possible (but not simultaneously 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. Detailed information and the required setup program can be found here on my UniVET Supportpage.

Also Kettler World Tours 2.0 supports now my Real Life Videos. All informations, and the required setup program can be found on my KWT 2.0 page.

Trainers and Ergometers

For because of the variety of trainers and ergometers please see the manufacturer websites what training equipment is supported (that is independent of my real life videos).

Youth protection

Other

The videos run only on some DVD players, which is very brand depending. It is best to first download e.g. the Challenge Roth demo and install it for Ergoplanet. The video is then located in the selected destination directory (which can of course be changed). Burn this avi-file to a DVD and try it out on the DVD player.

We use DVD-R blanks for our Real Life Videos. Please ensure compatibility with your player (espacially BD-players).
