Targeted at the aerospace and defense sector, the SPMC/DPMC-214 speeds and eases the integration of the CANbus and MilCAN data communications protocols into embedded systems deployed in harsh environments. Offloading the host card from the detailed handling of CANBus or MilCAN protocols ensures the PMC-214 provides more processing capacity on the hosting card for other applications.

Available in both air- and conduction-cooled versions, the card provides four CANBus ports or four MilCAN ports along with Utility Bus (optional) and 16-channels of TTL I/O, using dual ColdFire MCF5485 processors. It uses a 32-bit 33-MHz PCI bus and 5 V at 1.2 A.

The SPMC/DPMC-214 is interoperable with a wide range of host and carrier cards that provide support for PMC cards. Software support includes BSPs for popular operating systems such as BSP Support VxWorks 5.5.x/Tornado 2.2.1, VxWorks 6.3/6.5 Workbench 2.x, Linux and Windows.

About Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing

Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing is the industry’s most comprehensive and experienced single source for embedded solutions, ranging from Processing, Subsystems, Data Communication, DSP, and Video & Graphics to the most advanced board level components and fully integrated custom systems. The Embedded Computing group serves the defense, aerospace, commercial and industrial markets and is part of Curtiss-Wright Controls Inc.

The surveillance solution includes wireless and wired IP cameras, network video recorders (NVR), and a peer to peer server application - Insightserver2; all designed to work in a plug-n-play manner, and available as an affordable package.

The wireless IP Camera of the Mistral Smartvue® system provides high-quality video using megapixel sensors and also supports two-way audio communications. It uses a combination of the latest 802.11n wireless standard and advanced transcoding, to transfer the recorded video and audio streams to viewers, through the NVR.

Each NVR can support a maximum of 20 cameras; and can store up to a month’s video/audio; the highest in the industry. It can also be connected to external storage devices like JBOD, NAS, SAN, using its eSATA3 or Gigabit Ethernet connectors; ensuring almost limitless storage to users with high-capacity needs. The NVR provides a web-based user interface for configuring the camera network and viewing the recorded/live video.

Video management is provided through the InsightServer2; a carrier grade peer-to-peer server, that provides remote access to cameras across multiple NVRs spread across the world. It facilitates the management of millions of users, cameras, and network video recorders from a single interface..

Key Highlights

• Easy Installation: The patented plug-n-play design of the Mistral Smartvue® system with self configuring video networking; ensures that almost anyone can install it. None of the networked surveillance solutions currently available in the market; provide this ease of set-up.
• 802.11n Wireless Connectivity - The Mistral Smartvue® IP surveillance solution is based on the latest 802.11n WLAN technology offering higher throughput and longer range; as compared to 802.11b/g standards.
• Compact Size - The IP camera offers a patented and award winning design small enough to fit in the palm of a hand; and can be fit easily in places where other cameras cannot be placed.
• Megapixel Sensor - The camera uses powerful 2 megapixel sensor to capture exceptionally detailed video images, 6 times the detail of a VGA camera. It also supports an automatic low light mode for 1.0 lux night-time performance.
• Media Formats Supported - The solution supports H.264, MPEG4, JPEG and G.711 formats. H.264 video compression allows the solution to use close to 5 times less bandwidth than most other network cameras; thus facilitating savings in bandwidth and storage space.
• Enhanced Storage - Standard with 1Terabyte storage, the NVR offers the highest storage capacity, for similar featured devices, in the industry.
• Integrated 2-Way Audio - Featuring a built-in two-way audio including a mic and speaker with a carrier grade VOIP server, the IP camera facilitates two-way communication with remotely located users.
