ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. Ruggedized graphics/video company Eizo Rugged Solutions has released its Condor GR4 3U VPX 3G-SDI capture board, a rugged single-slot graphics/capture board with four 3G-SDI inputs and outputs that the company intends for use in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications such as avionics, manned and unmanned video streaming, and security/surveillance.
Selwyn L. Henriques, president and CEO of Eizo Rugged Solutions, said of the offering: “The Condor GR4 3U VPX card is the perfect solution for today’s ISR market that is transitioning to 3G-SDI. Our ISR customers typically have three or four sensors per gimbal and have been demanding a single-slot, SWaP [size, weight, and power]-conscious card that does everything – ingest information from the sensors, output this high definition data over 3G-SDI, process it using the GPU, and then encode each stream using the onboard H.265/H.264 encoder."
According to company materials, the MIL-STD-810G-compliant card supports PCI Express 3.0 (up to eight lanes), is available in conduction-cooled and air-cooled variants, and comes with an option of either the Pascal architecture-based NVIDIA Quadro P5000 or Quadro P3000.
