VCS700 - Video Compression System
Airborne Telemetry

The VCS700 is our latest offering in flight proven video compression equipment. The VCS700 has been successfully flown on UAV’s, launch vehicles and test aircraft. The VCS700 utilizes Wavelet compression which provides very high compression ratios with excellent image quality. Wavelet is better suited than JPEG or MPEG to systems which are susceptible to link drop-out. Other applications are virtually limitless … BIA/BDA for munitions, surveillance capabilities for UAV’s, cockpit/cabin video for aircraft, launch vehicle visual verification of deployment of satellites, general reconnaissance.

PCM600 GENERAL

VCS700

VCS700 general specifications, description of base units and system operation. Includes mechanical outlines of various configurations.

AIR UNIT

ABU700

Standard base unit for the airborne portion of the VCS700. The VCU700 contains the power supply, the programming ports, the TM data interface and the formatting circuitry for the unit. In addition, the basic VCU700 contains one VCM710 video interface module.

VCM710/VCM711 Video interface module for four separate video inputs. Inputs are multiplexed prior to video compression. Additional VCM710’s can be added to the VCU700 to provide full sample rate, non-multiplexed video for multiple channels. The VCM711 has time stamp inputs in lieu of TM data.
DSM710 Video storage module which allows the compressed video from one VCM710 module to be stored. Provides 64 MB to 128 MB of storage.
CEM630 &BLK610 Encryption module using the KGV-68B encryption engine, plus a power filter for a telemetry transmitter. Requires NSA approval for use on specified program.
DCM610 Spacer module used to replace the CEM630, typically for foreign sales where the footprint of the domestic encoder must be maintained.
GROUND UNIT
VEU700 The VEU700 is a PCI card which provides the video expansion (decompression) for one video channel. Multiple channels of video expansion require connecting VEC710’s to a VEU700. The VEU700 also provides a TM data output signal.
VEC701 This expansion card is like the VEU700, except that it is the companion card to the VCM711, as well as to the CVA700 airborne product.
VEC710 Additional video expansion card which interfaces to the VEU700.
