VRD1-CC Turnkey Video Solution
The VRD1-CC is a fully HD-capable turnkey solution for video format conversion, scaling and switching. These functions are complemented by video compression, recording and network distribution.
As the hub of a video system, the VRD1-CC is controlled over Ethernet from either a supplied API or a browser-based GUI.
The number and type of video inputs and outputs and the number of compression channels can be altered in customer-specific versions permitting the VRD1 to be optimized for a very wide variety of applications.
Supplied as a sealed rugged unit, the VRD1-CC is suitable for deployment into harsh environments.
An example use case is shown in the downloadable datasheet. To learn more about how the VRD1-CC could be the heart of your next application, please contact your Curtiss-Wright sales representative.
