SES Multi-Channel Data and Video Recorder
The MVDR is a customisation of the S3DR-BE data recorder, designed to record up to six full resolution channels of video, audio and data. It has been designed to meet challenging environments, such as those found in fast jet aircraft. Data is recorded on a Memory Cartridge, which is then removed and processed with SES REVEAL software to provide synchronised playback of all recorded video channels.

Standard Configuration

SES Multi-Channel Video and Data Recorder: Support
SES provide a number of optional support items to maximise the potential of the S3DR-MVDR platform, including:

REVEAL is a partner product to the S3DR-MVDR data recorder. It allows the user to extract and manipulate data from a removable memory cartridge and prepare the cartridge for reuse by the S3DR-MVDR. REVEAL is an application for Microsoft Windows that provides a wealth of features for extracting, interpreting, visualising and analysing data captured using an SES data recorder. Key features of the tool include:
- Convert data to a variety of formats to allow analysis with domain specific tools
- Interpret data to demultiplex or decommutate a data stream into its constituent parameters
- Archive data to hard disk, CD or DVD for later analysis or long term storage
- Visualisation of data to allow visual analysis within REVEAL using a framework that supports real-time and fast-time playback where suitable hardware is available
- Declassification of S3DR data storage media
- Annotation of recorded data with supplementary data, for example Form 725
The architecture of the application allows for easy customisation of the application to suit bespoke requirements, for example introduction of a new component to output data in a new format. Alternatively, the underlying components can be reused to provide a bespoke application to automate the extraction and processing of S3DR data cartridges.
