Obviously, if you have an aftermarket ECU you can pipe whatever you want into a DL but it is worth noting.
Also, the Smartycam 2.1 makes it easy but the video quality is garbage compared to basically everything else out. It writes the data overlay onto the video live so it needs the hardware to handle that, Smartycam 3 is coming out soon that does 1080p.

Resolution is low(720p), but the actual video is quite good, and is solid state. If you chucked the Smartycam out of your car at 180mph, it would record the entire tumble.
All you need for the real-time overlay is a Solo/Solo2 DL. Of course you can use other AIM hardware as well.
Real-time overlay is THE selling point of the Smartycam. It's invaluable when you're in a time crunch, and overlays the data precisely without needing you to sync manually.
