DGy 201 RGB Spectrum Digital Image Recorder

The RGB Spectrum DGy 201x / 301x / 401x / 501x Digital Image Recorders 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 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 20 fps at 1600 x 1200 or 30 fps at 1280 x 1024 resolution. The JPEG2000 wavelet-based codec provides results superior to the more common DCT based compression schemes.

The DGy line includes four models. Models 210x and 401x include a removable hard disk and an optional fixed hard disk, offering from 10 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.

All DGy codecs offer standard JPEG2000, plus optional interframe compression for streaming graphics 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. In addition, the concurrent record and replay option allows review of imagery while 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.
