CCTV system is based on the track video system with special cameras being installed on the circuit and the
management of these cameras from race control room with related software and video wall built to race control
room.
Al Kamel engineers prepare a Track Camera Plan locating the cameras on the circuit to be able to have a vision of
all track, pit lane and runoff areas which is necessary for race direction. The signals from the cameras sent over a
fiber optic cable to main technical node, from where the signals going to be send over video distribution amplifiers
to LCD monitors on video wall of race control room and also to digital recording system and video matrix.
The cameras will be operated from race control room by keyboard and one hand joystick.
The recording of the image from the track cameras is managed
