A new video from Intellisense Systems demonstrates how up multiple inputs can be mixed, combined, and organized on one avionics display.
Short for “video fusion,” vFusion is the revolutionary technology that enables multiple video inputs to be combined on one avionics display. With vFusion, operators can integrate and organize up to four ARINC 818 inputs (SXGA format) or two ARINC 818 and two DVI inputs so that indicators, radar, sensors, and live video can all be shown on one screen.
Intellisense has previously shown off this technology at expos, tradeshows and conferences. But now, a new video exhibits vFusion’s many features in just two minutes.
This video demonstrates vFusion’s capabilities on the LAD-2008, a large area display with an active area LCD with 2560 × 1024 resolution and multi-touch screen technology. It includes four SMPTE-424M inputs, two ARINC 818 fiber inputs, and two DVI-D inputs, so up to eight sources can be ingested onto a single screen. The demo shows how all eight sources can be organized in one display.
With vFusion, engineers can multiplex, tile, layer, scale, or crop four native video sources to best fit the pilots’ or crewmembers’ needs. These sources can be oriented into vertical tiles or completely customized into various sizes. Inputs can also be organized with picture-in-picture with pinch-and-zoom capabilities, just like a smart phone. vFusion enables customers to lay out and resize these inputs as they see fit.
Additionally, users can overlay one input over another with chroma keying. Drag one video source over another and select the background color to remove. Thanks to this technology, maps and radar can be combined and organized intuitively.
Not only does vFusion make it easier for pilots and operators to view the information they need, but it also offloads externals processors from aggregating all this information. Like all of Intellisense’s innovations, it improves processing speeds, reduces weight, and greatly improves operational efficiency. And thanks to its open systems architecture, vFusion can ingest future software enhancements and higher resolutions, resulting in prolonged service time and lower lifecycle costs.
