Description
The OBE/CAM/002 is a rugged FTI camera which uses H.264 compression to deliver two channels of video over an Ethernet network. It can be seamlessly integrated with the Acra KAM-500 data acquisition product line or used as a stand-alone system.
The OBE/CAM/002 can be connected directly to an Ethernet switch, removing the requirement for a dedicated Acra KAM-500 compression module. As there is no need for dedicated hardware compression, SWaP (Size Weight and Power) is minimized.
The OBE/CAM/002 has two compression streams; a primary stream for recording, and a secondary preview stream for telemetry. The preview stream is more highly compressed, reducing the telemetry bandwidth required for transmission of data to the ground.
As with Ethernet switches and network recorders, the OBE/CAM/002 can be set up and configured using DAS Studio 3. Video data captured can be replayed using commercial off-the-shelf software. The OBE/CAM/002 can synchronize time with a PTPv1 or a PTPv2 Grandmaster. This allows the acquired video to be timestamped using the same mechanism as all other parameters in the FTI network.
The OBE/CAM/002 records full 1080p HD video (1 to 30 fps) and compresses video at source. The OBE/CAM/002 uses a high quality Kodak CCD sensor mounted in a rugged housing.
