Advanced architectures for high bandwidth video transport

Modern systems are starting to include a wide variety of sensors and camera systems for applications such as night vision, degraded vision, and other sensors. Systems that require multiple coordinated sensors (including sensor fusion) used for ISR, navigation in degraded environments, or infrared countermeasures are constantly trying to increase throughput to carry higher resolution images and video in real time. The need for ever higher throughput challenges system designers on every level, including the physical interface. Simply moving video efficiently from point to point or within a network is a challenge. ARINC 818, the Avionics Digital Video Bus, continues to expand into high-speed sensor applications because of its low latency, robustness, and high throughput capabilities.
