Cambridge Pixel Unveils Multi-Channel Radar Data Recorder

CAMBRIDGE, England, August 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

       
        - Records/replays primary radar video and associated tracks, as well as AIS, ADS-B,
          IFF and NMEA-0183 navigation data from ship and aircraft transponders; versatile and
          fully-featured solution for radar testing or mission analysis 

    Cambridge Pixel (http://www.cambridgepixel.com), an award-winning developer of
radar display and tracking subsystems, has unveiled its multi-channel Radar Data Recorder.
This versatile and fully-featured record and replay solution can record primary radar
video and associated tracks, as well as AIS, ADS-B, IFF and NMEA-0183 navigation data from
ship and aircraft transponders. Network packet messages including H.264 video streams and
camera data can also be recorded.

    The Radar Data Recorder is designed for both session recordings, for example during
expensive radar trials or system testing to capture data for later review, and for
continuous recording in deployed systems. The product captures a wide range of data types
and formats simultaneously within a synchronised data file structure, time-stamping and
recording direct to fixed or removable storage media.

    Up to three radars may be recorded as either radar signals - digitised using Cambridge
Pixel's HPX-200 card, or ASTERIX CAT-240 network video, with other specialised or
proprietary radar network formats also supported. On replay, the video may be output as
radar signals or as ASTERIX data.

    David Johnson, CEO of Cambridge Pixel, said: "Radar is an increasing feature in both
military and commercial surveillance solutions whether on naval and coastguard ships or
for border security, airport, air base or infrastructure protection. As a result, system
developers need a versatile record and replay solution that can handle the multitude of
input data types and formats and then display them to the operator in a sensible and
synchronised way."

    Cambridge Pixel's Radar Data Recorder may be controlled through a local user-interface,
across a network, or through a web browser. The Windows-based user-interface permits
configuration of the recording process and visualisation of the data being recorded. A
timeline is used to display the progress of the recording or replay, with visual
indications of the data being recorded, including any errors or missing data.

    "Our sophisticated user interface makes defining channels simple and intuitive, and a
'quick look' feature allows the operator to see and have confidence that data is
successfully being received and recorded," added David Johnson.

    "We have also incorporated a range of indexing tools to make review and analysis of
any recorded session straightforward. For example, a visual timeline display shows the
status of each channel as well as periodic snapshots of the radar video. Event markers
(location, user-defined, or system events) can also be recorded on the timeline to give a
complete picture of the session for post mission analysis."

    The Radar Data Recorder is available as a software application or as a fully
configured recording sub-system in a 19" rack-mount unit.

    Cambridge Pixel's technology is used in naval, air traffic control, vessel traffic,
commercial shipping, security, surveillance and airborne radar applications.
