Computrainer Users: ErgVideo 3 Release

[cbjesseeNH]

I did a few months of beta testing for the new ErgVideo 3 software ErgVideo Inc. News

It's really fabulous. The RacerMate 3D rides and Real Course Videos are nice, but if you have a Computrainer and aren't using the erg training features, like the plans on Trainingpeaks and ErgVideos, you're missing a lot of potential training benefits. I'm not associated with the company - just a satisfied customer.

From their announcement:

Great new features include:

• ErgVideo 3 is standalone! No need for RacerMate companion applications CompCS or Multirider.
• It's High Definition Video ready, and all new releases are recorded in brilliant HD!
• Up to 24 CompuTrainer or VeloTrons supported, in any combination!
• Lightening-fast and easy ride setup: you can be riding in as few as 2 clicks!
• Powerful ride designer lets you build more complex ride sequences.
• Easy, visual method to scale the ride difficulty.
• Handlebar controller options to adjust intensity, Start/Stop/Pause and even re-calibrate your CompuTrainer at any time.
• Pre-ride performance metrics analysis built-in.
• Automatic performance file export and reports presentation.
• Faster WMP and iTunes music player operation.
• Training Plans are easier to use.
• Even the logo is new and cool, too!

I ran a multirider session at Turbo Studio today with it.

It is very impressive.

I downloaded the new release yesterday and did a ride this AM (Long Threshold Intervals). I was VERY impressed with the ease of operation. I especially liked the ease of calibrating your CT while in the middle of a video with a push of a button. I also liked how easy it auto-discovered the CT. Later, I tested auto discover with my newly purchased Velotron, and it worked like a charm!

Kudos to the ErgVideo development team.
