Some say you can’t get enough of a good thing, but in a slightly different vein, Cambridge Pixel showed us that you can improve an already-good thing. The company has added audio and video capability to its SPx AV software, a toolkit of components useful for radar in command and control, security, UAV, and airborne radar applications. With the updated product retaining its former nomenclature, the SPx AV software library now features video and audio distribution, capture, and recording savvy. The software library affords video and audio quality of service control, network streaming, compression, and real-time video display providing underlay, overlay, and watermarks.
Suited to radar video distribution, radar visualization, target tracking, and plot extraction, the SPx AV software additionally supports H.264 video compression on GPUs, to proffer the real-time display of several layers of video and graphics.
Meanwhile, the software utilizes an open-systems approach but allows user customization at the same time. And users of the former version of the software don’t need to ditch what they’ve got: The new version can be used alongside it for multifunction display and sensor distribution technology utilization.
