he DSRs 400 (Digital Solid State Recording
System) is designed specifically for airborne
applications requiring high data rate and
storage capacity in a small, rugged and
lightweight package.
A sealed, non volatile, solid state (flash) memory cartridge
enables the recorder to operate at high altitude and under
severe vibration and shock conditions typically encountered
in airborne applications. A standard DCRsi interface
rovides plug compatibility in existing DCRsi installations.
Small size and low power consumption makes this recorder
an ideal choice for UAV’s. Capability to dub directly into
a DIS recorder facilitates archiving of data in automated
libraries.
