DGy™ Digital Recorder

DGy™ codecs record, transmit, or stream high scan rate images. These codecs set a new standard in terms of image quality, using JPEG2000 compression to achieve visually lossless digital recording. Models are available in single channel or dual channel configurations, with or without disk drives.

The DGy system captures and compresses real time computer imagery, radar, sonar, FLIR, X-Ray, and HD video at up to 30 fps at 1920 x 1200 resolution. The JPEG2000 wavelet-based codec provides results superior to the more common DCT based compression schemes.

The DGy line includes four models. Models 201 HD, 201x and 401x include a removable hard disk and an optional fixed hard disk, offering from 8 to 32 hours of recording per drive. Models 301x and 501x use external network attached storage, such as a RAID, for centralized storage and retrieval. Models 401x and 501x can record two inputs at half rates, with fully synchronized playback.

DGy codecs can be used in conjunction with our multicast video server (MVS) to provide a complete multi-channel streaming solution in complex environments.

All DGy codecs offer standard JPEG2000, plus interframe compression for multicast streaming across networks where higher compression rates are necessary to reduce bandwidth. The codecs also support file transfer to and from a remote computer or file server using standard ftp protocol.

The codecs offer an unparalleled feature set, including external time code synchronization (IRIG-B or Network Time Server), event marking, and random access. Multiple units can be interconnected to support simultaneous, synchronized recording of multiple channels. Remote playback on a PC is supported using a JPEG2000 plug-in to the Windows Media Player. Exclusive features include, the concurrent record and replay option which allows review of imagery while digital recording is still in process.

The DGy codec's combination of superb image quality, rich feature set, and robust performance make it the ideal solution for demanding, mission-critical applications.
