Up-to-date ATC equipment meets all requirements concerning air traffic safety by the innovative use of the state-of-the-art technology. ATC facilities enhance the flights safety as they provide the controllers with information of air movements from radars, flight plans, and air-ground data-link messages. When the radar data obtained from multiple primary and secondary radars is processed, it presents the aircraft position and other related information, such as aircraft callsign, aircraft category, altitude, ground speed, etc. on the radar display. Using this information ATC staff controls the approach/departure, terminal and en-route traffic. Epiphan's DVI2USB Duo frame grabber is a powerful tool that allows recording, monitoring and replaying this critical data in real-time from multiple air traffic control equipment.
Transferring Data from STARS Equipment
Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) provides controllers with important operational information related to flight data, aircraft positions, and weather. The system presents the information to air traffic controllers on high resolution color displays. It allows technical operations personnel to control and monitor system resources.DVI2USB DUO is capable of capturing any radar data from the STARS video output, compress it and transfer onto a computer where it can be saved or broadcasted over the network. Image capturing resolution up to 2048x2048 provides accurate recording weather and air traffic data. DVI2USB DUO can capture either single-link or dual-link DVI signals.
Image Capturing and Recording from ASR-11 Digital Airport Surveillance Radar
DVI2USB DUO can be used to capture and record information from Raytheon's ASR-11 Digital Airport Surveillance Radar. This radar system contributes to significant improvement in situational awareness for both controllers and pilots. It is deployed at terminal air traffic control sites. According to the requirements the radar data and control tower conversations should be accurately recorded, archived and maintained by the ATCs. DVI2USB DUO has the consistent, intuitive interface that is very easy to learn. This device uses Epiphan's compression algorithm providing lossless captured images. This information can be managed after capturing since web admin interface allows access to the recorded information at the touch of a button.
Powerful Solution to Record and Archive ATC Data
DVI2USB DUO incorporates the up-to-date techniques for data capture. This device is engineered to function in diverse civil and military aviation centers ensuring reliable ATC tower event monitoring. Featuring high quality image capturing capabilities, this system is ready for the most demanding applications. DVI2USB DUO is a valuable tool for accident investigations. It can provide information that may be impossible to obtain by any other means. When used in conjunction with other information gained in the investigation, such devices are playing an important role in determining the probable cause of an aircraft accident.
