ION 2 Applications
Aviation
ION 2 provides aircraft with a flexible, high-definition geospatial video recorder packaged into a compact and easy to use unit. Whether you are recording, displaying, or enhancing tail camera, cabin, or hoist video, weather radar, GPS, or something else, ION makes it easy.
Never miss the action with ION’s built-in recording buffer that allows you to capture up to a minute of footage prior to pressing the record button.
Automatically trigger recordings based on events such as weight-on-wheels or hoist cam activation.
Use inexpensive SD carsd or USB memory to capture hours of HD quality video with metadata.
See what is being recorded as it is captured with ION’s 2" [55 mm] diagonal, full-color, night vision compliant display.
Expandable and Flexible
Do more with your mission recorder — Supported integrations and upgrades* include:
Add AIS/ADS-B/AVL information into the Metadata/VANC stream being recorded (specific receiver is required and not included)
Custom symbology – PIP views, custom watermarks, masking symbology
Moving maps – Display open street maps, aeronautical, and topo maps on any compatible cockpit display
Display weather radar on any compatible cockpit display or iPad
Generate Reaper/Predator/Grey Eagle/Shadow/Scan Eagle symbology overlays
Weather Radar
ION lets you maximize the panel-space in your cockpit by doing things that other recorders cannot. Connect ION to an airborne pulse Doppler weather radar system (ARINC 708) and turn any cockpit display into a situational awareness enhancing moving map with airborne radar overlays. Weather radar overlays function independently from ION’s capability to simultaneously record multiple channels of HD geospatial video to low-cost USB or SD removable media, so you can do more with less equipment.
Integration with ARINC 708 airborne weather radar systems including those from Bendix King, Rockwell Collins, and Garmin.
Custom, zoomable moving maps with radar overlay.
Never miss the action – ION’s video buffer captures video prior to the record button being pressed.
Playback and review while recording. See something and want a closer look? Pause and replay while you are still recording.
Have an old composite video gimbal? Convert your legacy gimbal to support the latest digital standards through ION.
Capture recordings with position information that can be integrated with Earthscape.com.
Use inexpensive SD or USB memory to capture hours of HD quality video with metadata.
