Setting a new record for Gigabit connection frame rates, the H-EM solidifies AOS Technologies' position as a world leader in this industry. A complex algorithm has made it possible for the company to achieve this technical feat.
The H-EM 501 connects directly to an airborne computer via a single Gigabit Ethernet cable. Supplied software enables users to quickly configure the camera for specific needs and conditions. At the highest resolution of 2 megapixels, the camera can record at 90 frames per second (fps). Lower resolutions allow for high speeds and therefore more visual information – at a minimal resolution of 800x600, the H-EM 501 is capable of 300 fps. The camera complies with the current GigE Vision Standard, a global interface standard that enables fast connections and broad interoperability.
The housing and components of the H-EM 501 have been engineered with the defense industry in mind. The camera is compact and light, weighing in at less than a pound. Likewise, the camera can be mounted in the tight spaces typical of most aircraft. Performance testing confirms that sudden changes in temperature and humidity caused by rapid altitude changes do not impact the camera's function; the camera holds up equally well against shock and vibration.
Though small, the H-EM 501 more than delivers on expectations. AOS Technologies has developed a comprehensive software suite to accompany the camera, which gives users access to an assortment of functions, configurations and analytic tools. The camera can be programmed to trigger via motion detection or other signaling method, at which point it begins circular buffer recording. Motion analysis software powers the H-EM 501's auto tracking feature.
Recordings longer than a few seconds can be streamed directly to a disk by way of the Gigabit Ethernet link; depending on available space, several hours of video can be captured in this way. Users can export video to all of the standard movie file formats for playback on virtually any system or device.
The principle applications for the H-EM 501 are airborne store separation testing (missiles and other ballistics) as well as airborne countermeasure observation and testing. Monochrome, full color and near infrared versions of the camera are available to better suit a wide variety of discrete applications.
AOS Technologies is spearheading the transition to digital film technologies in the defense, aerospace, automotive and other industries. The H-EM 501 represents the future of such technologies within its niche. The company is confident that the camera's obvious advantages over film-based high-speed cameras will result in its rapid adoption.
