Digital Video Recording Module (DVRM)

The Digital Video Recording Module (DVRM) is a compact rugged Digital Video and Data Recorder, as well as a Data Transfer System (DTS). The DVRM is designed for use as either a panel mount or "hot plate" mount unit, on Airborne or Ground Vehicles. Capable of recording critical mission video and data for long periods of time, the DVRM provides a very reliable source of video and data recording and transfer. When operating as a DTS the unit is controlled over either the Ethernet 10/100 BT or Mil-Std-1553 channels.

The use of a rugged "disk-on-key" as the recording media provides a low power, light weight solution for applications requiring low-cost reliable data storage. Debriefing recorded data is accomplished by either physically removing the Disk-on-Key from the recorder and inserting it into a PC based Debriefing Station, or by downloading the recorded data over the Ethernet channel. Debriefing software is provided using the Integrated Debriefing Environment (IDE). The IDE software package provides synchronized video and data on the same PC screen. Alternatively, recorded video and data can be viewed on separate screens.
