HD-SDI Ruggedized Cameras for Aviation Applications

In recent years, the security demands for modern aircraft have significantly increased. Among the critical areas for surveillance are cabin, cockpit and cargo, and cockpit door surveillance. Therefore, aircraft video surveillance systems for monitoring and analyzing onboard processes have become a major concern. Imperx provides cost-effective camera solutions that fulfill all customer requirements in this area.

Cockpit Surveillance

Maintaining cockpit security is also one of the functions of cameras, as they provide pilots with an external view without opening the cockpit door, which could potentially endanger the safety of the flight deck.

Typically, cockpit cameras are designed to concentrate on the space just outside the cockpit door and do not cover the aircraft cabin.

Exterior Monitoring

The primary function of cameras showing the aircraft's exterior is to support pilots and is predominantly installed on larger aircraft to aid in their maneuvering around airport areas.

Cameras play a vital role in assisting pilots to navigate taxiways accurately, particularly in tight turns where larger aircraft may encounter difficulties. Imperx cameras can be placed on the tail of aircraft as well as near the landing gear in the nose of the aircraft

In-Flight Entertainment

The presence of exterior cameras on an aircraft is advantageous to passengers since they can access the footage through their in-flight entertainment systems, providing them with an alternative way to view the outside scenery instead of solely relying on the aircraft windows. The main purpose of Imperx cameras on airplanes is to provide passengers with a similar perspective as their pilots during takeoff and landing, particularly when the runway is directly in front of the aircraft.

AVI HD-SDI Ruggedized Cameras for Aviation Applications

The Imperx AVIATION (AVI) camera series is well suited for many aircraft applications such as monitoring/surveillance and crash recording. The most common applications such as UAV piloting, flight guidance, taxi aid, cabin surveillance, cockpit surveillance, cockpit door surveillance, cargo surveillance, in-flight entertainment cameras, Wing tip cameras and much more are just a short list of the aircraft imaging uses that the Imperx AVI Aviation cameras are suited for. Harsh environments are no challenge for the AVI camera line. Industries served such as commercial airlines, military imaging, aerial mapping/guidance and more. Imperx CMOS and CCD camera with rugged designs for aviation applications are developed and manufactured according to D0-160 standards, assuring operational reliability in all aspects.

The Imperx AVIATION (AVI) camera line consists of COTS cameras that have been certified as D0-160. The AVI line includes AVI Indoor and AVI Outdoor models and can be installed in the Imperx Environmental Enclosures. Imperx Aviation D0-160 Policy: Official Aircraft Requirements Policy.pdf.

Image Enhancements

Imperx knows the most important part of airborne imaging is the ability to identify what is being imaged. Imperx cameras have 12-bit look up tables to allow the user to configure the contrast of the image to suit their needs. Whether the user needs simple single knee point corrections through complex 3d LUTs, the camera will do the adjustments on-board. In addition to the advanced look up tables, the camera will handle color adjustments and real time auto white balance, flat field correction and noise correction. For extreme users, Imperx features digital bit shifting to provide the location of the most significant bits.

Environmental Enclosure

The Imperx AVI Aviation HD-SDI cameras can be manufactured in a housing for airborne/aviation applications.
In the available IP 69 housing, the cameras will operate in wet conditions and distances up to 60,000 ft. altitude. These cameras are perfect for use in aviation, aerial imaging and or in areas where temperature and weather is constantly changing. Environmental Enclosure Specifications
