Integrating Video Sources

 You’ve got some new cameras for your helicopter and need to get them working with the existing cameras and displays. No problem: just connect them together with a switch – except they don’t all output the same format. You look for some products but can’t find any that will solve your issues without requiring several additional boxes – what do you do?

Video systems are becoming ever more widely deployed across the full range of platforms, from small ground vehicles through to main battle tanks, to rotary and fixed-wing aircraft and on to UAVs of all sizes. A growing challenge for system integrators is how to get the most effective use out of the proliferating number of cameras being deployed without using too much space and adding significant weight. With the increasing tempo of deployment, multiple video formats, and being able to meet new configuration requirements rapidly, off-the-shelf products are becoming increasingly important.
