Frame Grabbers GRAV64 PCI GRAV64 PMC Great River Technology s ARINC 818 cards can both transmit and receive ARINC 818 video. The cards are pre-configured for link speeds between 1 Gbps and 4 Gbps and specific video resolutions. MTRX PCle4 MTRX XMC The cards have a dedicated video (DVI/ VGA) output port for viewing full-motion video (received from fiber) without loading the bus. The cards capture video and header information over the PCI/PCIe bus, up to the throughput limits of the cards.

Video Recorders GRT s video record and playback systems are high-performance machines capable of recording and playing back a single channel or up to six synchronized video streams. The systems can be configured to play back to a GUI or play out through the hardware, creating synchronized ARINC 818 video playout to a cockpit display or cockpit simulator. Record up to eight hours of uncompressed video on multiple channels All frames are time stamped and numbered Frames are stored as TIFF images or as AVI video clips Playback: single step, number of frames, or timeline with in/out points Play out previously recorded video onto ARINC 818 to emulate the video sources within your system High-Speed Recorder Switches Pantera 4x4 Switch for ARINC 818 The Pantera switch allows you to map any 4 inputs to any 4 outputs. It can by used to multiplex several video sources to a single display, or to split a single video source into multiple outputs. It is perfect for use as a line-spy on ARINC 818 links to permit video recording or monitoring. Features include: Easy switch control over a LAN using any common web browser Real-time monitoring of ARINC 818 switch inputs via web browser Factory configuration to desired link rate and FO wavelength Link rates of 1 to 4 Gbps 4x4 Pantera Switch ARINC 818 8x8 and 10x10 Switches Similar functionality to the Pantera switch, but Ruggedized 10 x 10 Switch offering more channels and form factors. 8-channel rack with RS-232 Control 10-channel rack with Ethernet Rack-Mount 8 x 8 Switch Rugged 10-channel flight test shoebox Learn more at www.greatrivertech.com/products
