The configuration is indicated on a label on the rear of the OLED display.

If an Auto Track Map element has been added to the scene currently loaded in the Video VBOX, the OLED can be used to specify which track layout to display.
Once a GPS location is detected, the VideoVBOX will display a circuit layout for that location –
e.g. If Silverstone location detected, Silverstone GP, National and International layouts will be displayed.

The Video VBOX can store up to eight scenes. They are loaded by placing all files in the root folder of an SD card and inserting them into a VVB. The user can select the scene using an OLED display as shown below.
NOTES
- If the user tries to load more than eight scenes, the Video VBOX will reject all the scene files and write an error message to the SD card.
- Scene selections cannot be added to with single scene files. The whole group of scenes must be loaded at a single time.
By default, the Video VBOX is setup to communicate with the OLED display via the Serial Port. You can change this to work with the DriftBox using this option.
