XMC-270 Frame-Grabber:
The XMC-270 is a VITA 42.3, PCI Express® XMC form factor, ruggedized, high-performance video frame grabber with output capability. The XMC-270 supports high resolution digital and analog, including legacy interlaced analog video formats. The XMC-270 is based on the Xilinx® Virtex®-5, a high performance Field Programmable Gate Array with advanced serial connectivity and a built in PCI Expess core.

The XMC-270 comes with a comprehensive software application interface to control and utilize the capabilities of the hardware. This software can be used standalone or integrated with Curtiss-Wright Graphics Software Suite. Support is provided for VxWorks™ and Wind River Linux™ with Curtiss-Wright PowerPC™ and x86 single board computers.

PMC-724 Frame-Grabber:
The PMC-724 mezzanine module is a ruggedized IEEE 1386.1 PMC Frame Grabber providing high-performance image capture capabilities. The PMC-724 Frame Grabber captures both analog and digital video input formats and supports high speed transfer of the captured images to system memory (e.g. basecard or other PCI-accessible memory). Applications such as target tracking and UAV image capture are ideally suited for the PMC-724 where analog or digital video data is gathered in realtime then transferred to a basecard

Graphics Products from Curtiss Wright Controls, PMC, XMC, VME Form Factors:

	PMC-285 Graphics Card: T he PMC-285 fulfills a conceptually simple capability that has often required a complex and relatively costly solution based on a graphics-processing unit: it takes two video inputs and mixes one input with the other. Mixing or blending of the video is managed by color keying or alpha-channel and is controlled via a simple software interface. The main features includ: the capability to: mix, blend, scale and window RGB and DVI inputs intoa single DVI output; to convert HD RGB analogue input to DVI output; and to use it as a 2x1 switch to select either RGB or DVI output.
	PMC-281 MPEG4 Video Compression: Real-time MPEG4part10 H.264, dual channel with frame rates up to 1920x1200, encoding or decoding simultaneously at resolutions to 1080p30 / 1080i60. Utilises on board ASIC for low power operation.		XMC-280 JPEG 2000 Video Compression: Acquires and displays two channels of high definition video 1920x1200 @60Hz. Designed for very low latency and resilience to errors.
	XMC-710 rugged graphics card: PCI Express based dual output graphics with video capture capability. Utilises the NVIDIA G73M. Support safety critical applications and path to DO-254, DO-178B.		PMC-706 Graphics Card: This IEEE 1386.1 Graphics PMC will provide a platform for customers to design, develop and deploy high-performance graphics sub-systems capable of supporting high-performance, dual headed synthetic graphics output.

		Other products from Curtiss Wright include: VME/ VPX SBCs DSP and FPGA processing Networking IO Data Recording Rugged Military Grade Chassis
PMC-704 Graphics Card: Dual Video Capture Dual Video output Full X11, X extensions.	Sabre VME Imaging Platform: PPC with 2xATI-M9 graphics VDUs giving a hosted X server on card, multi-head, multi-layer graphics.

Video Windowing, Recording and Distribution:
	Cobra Ax : High-performance, multi-input, video windows processor that can accept up to 12 videos per card and select up to 4 for display as windows on a high-resolution, digital flat panel or analogue display. Video inputs can be TV, RS170, RS343, STANAG or hi-resolution computer video up to 1600 x 1200.
	Sentric 2: High-definition video recording systems that capture, compress and store multiple channels of high-resolution analogue or digital video, composite TV, network video and audio in digital format. Fully integrated into Curtiss Wright Controls Video Distribution System (VDS) family of products providing the capability to record and replay network video.

VDS Video Distribution System:
VDS product family from Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing that provides all the elements required for high-performance video distribution over IP networks. VDS digital distribution systems allow video from any source to be captured, compressed and distributed to any display or recording station over local or wide area networks, using JPEG2000 or MPEG compression techniques.

VDA Video Amp:
The VDA is a line replaceable unit (LRU) developed in order to replicate RGB analogue video so that one video source can be routed to two destinations – for example, routing the output from a computer to two consoles.

RADAR Interface, Scan Conversation Hardware and Software, Tracking and Plot Extraction:
	Osiris Dual Channel RADAR interface: Osiris is a high-performance, dual channel radar interface board that accepts and processes analogue and digital radar signals and provides a PCI interface to applications. Osiris comes from a long history of radar interface products at Curtiss-Wright (formerly Primagraphics), with interfaces to support many legacy and modern radar types.	Eagle RADAR hardware Scan conversion: Eagle-2 provides improved performance and support for high-resolution screen displays up to 2560 x 1600, including 2048 x 2048, making it the perfect choice for high-end radar display applications. A key feature of Eagle-2 is the ability to accept a DVI graphics input signal, for mixing with the scan-converted radar.

	RVP RADAR Video Processor: Curtiss-Wright has a unique range of capabilities in the field of radar acquisition, display, distribution and tracking, and has successful installations world-wide in a diverse range of market sectors. These include air traffic control, vessel traffic systems, aircraft groundmovement, coastal surveillance and naval tracking systems.
	Software Scan Conversion: Embedded Computing radar product providing ultra-high radar scan-conversion performance using unique GPU accelerated algorithms. Utilizing the power and performance of today’s modern COTS graphics offerings, Soft Scan can provide unrivalled scan conversion performance with minimal CPU utilization.
