The XSR HD Video Recorder supports up to eight HD video channels at 1080p60 resolution, as well as up to eight composite video inputs. Channels can be individually configured to record compressed and/or uncompressed video at full resolution. Input channels can be monitored live over Ethernet while recording. Simultaneous playback and recording are supported for all channels. Low latency bypass is also available per channel.

The design concept of XSR is based on the use of COTS Open Architecture modules, that allow the unit to make use of the latest generation Intel Core-i7 and Xeon processors. This enables the XSR to keep pace with increasing technological advancement and provides a key mitigation strategy for Obsolescence Management, which helps to protect the user’s design for 10 years or more. The extremely rugged design makes it ideal for deployed applications in rugged or harsh environments.

Removable storage enables instant access to recorded data in a standard PC with a simple USB 3.0 connected docking station without the need to download the recorded data over a slow data drain interface. Industry-standard solid-state drives are used to benefit from the ever-increasing storage densities and cost reductions as the technology evolve. No data conversion is necessary, the video files can be played directly by a standard player like Windows media player or VLC. Currently up to 80TB of solid-state storage is offered per removable data cartridge, sufficient for very long mission duration even when recording uncompressed HD video.

The recorder has a simple C++ API for remote control over a separate Gigabit Ethernet connection. Video control is also available using the optional Galleon CP50 Control Panel.

Galleon Embedded Computing’s quality management system is certified to Aerospace Standard AS/EN 9100 and ISO 9001.
