  • Sense and avoidance
  • Video processing units for flight simulators

Video Processing Systems

The Video Processing System (VIPS) is a mixed signal platform, which provides a real time hardware and software solution in the aircraft avionics test rig for the Head Up Display. It handles the video processing of the analog input signals arriving from the Head-Up Guidance system or the Electronic Unit and generates a standard digital video stream, which is transmitted over a LAN. The real time video stream is then merged with the video output from the Visual Scenery Generator to perform a a picture-over-picture task.

Validations & Verification

The electronics lab of ISD is capable of handling various tasks such as component screening according to ESCC/MIL standards, ASIC characterization, functional and performance validation of components and PCB assemblies, as well as endurance tests (environmental and radiation verification tests).
