A new video-synchronized multichannel biomedical data acquisition system

This data acquisition system records video frames onto a video tape, and simultaneously acquires biomedical data along with video time codes onto a computer hard disk to achieve a 30-min video-synchronized data recording with a summed data rate of 2.16 Mbit/s. A time-code-bridge file created during acquisition matches each video frame-start with the corresponding index number of the acquired data. The mean synchronization accuracy of the system is 0.22 ms.
