Skyquest launch helicopter mission
displays solution
Skyquest Aviation, the UK design & manufacturer of airborne mission equipment, has announced the introduction of a new range of ultra high resolution aircraft mission displays to compliment the new technology stabilised cameras entering the surveillance market.
In addition, Skyquest have designed a unique video distribution system which takes the feed from the stabilised camera system in its highest resolution (including digital video and high definition video if available from the sensor) and routes this through a single cable to any number of on-board video displays and video recorders.
Skyquest claim that by using the system an airborne observer can call onto his display any number of video or computer inputs to give him total flexibility over the images he wants to view. Importantly the images will be displayed on his screen at their fullest resolution bringing new levels of information and detectability to the crew.
From an installers point of view the new system offers savings in complex video cable looms. A single cable is all that is required to be routed to each device. Once connected to the video distribution system the user has access to any signal feed going into the router. Feeds typically include multiple camera inputs, video playback, moving map, radar & video uplink.
To further enhance this new generation of video display Skyquest has integrated full remote control for two video recorders from the mission display. Confirmation lights on the display show the status of any attached video recorders and allow rewind and playback during flight.
