Next-Generation Video Recording & More
SHOTOVER ION 2
The ION 2 is a compact, rugged, and reliable geospatial video recorder purpose-built for airborne and rugged operations. It supports simultaneous recording of four HD-SDI video channels, along with audio and KLV or other metadata and has multiple HD-SDI outputs. With real-time H.264/H.265 recording and playback, ION 2 ensures consistent, high-quality capture of mission-critical video and data. The front panel includes intuitive controls, a built-in screen for menu navigation and video review, and convenient front-access SD and USB ports for direct recording.
It's much more than a DVR, however -- with ARINC 429, RS-232 and RS-422, Ethernet, and other ports available, it can control radios or other mission equipment through Python scripts you write or perform encoding/decoding/transcoding and streaming over multiple protocols using Starlink, Cellular, or Ad-Hoc mesh networks such as those from Silvus and Persistent Systems.
ION 2 Features
More than a DVR - encode, decode, transcode video and convert ARINC/Serial/Ethernet protocols, control radios and more.
Automatically trigger recordings based on events such as Weight On Wheels or hoist cam activation.
Record four channels of HD-SDI video simultaneously. (Or multiple Gig-E vision or USB cameras)
With built-in video scalers, framerate conversion, plus flexible encoding parameters, ION 2 is a great solution for any video problem.
Monitor recordings and review video on the device in real-time, even while recording.
Embed ANY metadata into the transport stream (GMTI RADAR data, AIS, ADS-B, etc).
Never miss the action – ION’s configurable record buffer captures video prior to the record button being pressed.
Charge your iPad via 20W PD and connect to aircraft Ethernet with a single cable.
Know where your video was recorded: Capture KLV MISB/STANAG 4609 compliant metadata delivered over VANC, HANC, UARTs or Ethernet. Files are compatible with ESRI FMV plugin and much more.
Upgradable to run our Airscape augmented reality mapping system at any time.
Use inexpensive SD or USB/USB C memory to capture hours of HD quality video with metadata.
Stream video using UDP, TCP, RTP, SRT and other protocols - to Earthscape or your own server.
Flowgraph-based graphical programming includes support for inline Python code - write your own plugins to control radios and other avionics.
Built with Cybersecurity in mind -- Hardened Linux computer with USG STIGs and firewall protection for downstream devices.
