EIZO Rugged Solutions Inc., has unveiled the Condor VC300xX, an XMC form factor ultra high-definition (UHD) video capture card suited to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The Condor VC300xX is designed for military C5ISR (command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) applications. With a low power consumption of under 20W, it is ideal for SWaP-sensitive (size, weight, and power) applications such as drones and other ISR platforms.
The Condor VC300xX card can accommodate up to eight SDI video inputs, supporting a mix of 12G, 3G, and HD-SDI resolutions. It includes two CVBS capture channels with independent audio support.
The XMC video capture cards’ multiple SDI inputs, and support for various video formats, enables consolidated video capture from numerous sensors and cameras to support 360-degree situational awareness and tracking.
Its high resolution and low latency make it ideal for mission-critical defense systems, where decisions must be made quickly based on incoming video intelligence.
The Condor VC300xX supports PCI Express, ensuring high-speed data transfer to the host system for efficient, real-time processing and analysis of UHD video.
The XMC card is available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled ruggedized variants, and is designed to VITA 47.3 environmental standards.
John Payne, Senior Product Manager at EIZO Rugged Solutions, stated, “The Condor VC300xX is a single-slot XMC card with the ability to capture and transfer up to eight video feeds simultaneously in real-time, enabling operators to assist in quick threat detection and response.”
