PESA demonstrates simplified Command and Control of Uncompressed Full Motion Video at WEST 2011

Jan. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- PESA, a U.S. manufacturer of professional grade video and audio distribution solutions will exhibit our Vidblox™, Quadbox™, Cattrax™, Cougar3™, Jaguar3™ and Panthera™ products to support switching, conversion, multi-window processing, and transmission of advanced full motion and uncompressed video signals at the AFCEA WEST 2011 Show, January 25-27. Co-sponsored by AFCEA International and the U.S. Naval Institute, WEST 2011 is the largest event on the West Coast for communications, electronics, intelligence, information systems, imaging, military weapon systems, aviation, shipbuilding, and more.

PESA uses broadcast television technology to allow commanders the ability to share uncompressed full motion video via routing switchers, multi-window processors and computer-to-video conversion solutions for mission critical command and control centers and tactical operation centers. At the core of these solutions is a powerful, standards-based, signal distribution system that correlates activities from video cameras, digital recorders, television satellite feeds and computer imaging systems to bring enhanced response and analytic capabilities of real-time video analysis. All of PESA’s products have been engineered for high reliability and simplified setup and calibration. This ensures PESA equipment can deliver perfect video images for real-time situational awareness and actionable intelligence with minimum manpower support.

Quality imagery is one of the largest concerns for defense and intelligence agencies worldwide and that’s why some of the most prestigious military and government command centers have already selected PESA to deliver these innovative video solutions.  With PESA’s advanced technology, distribution of live and near real-time transmission of uncompressed video allows operators to analyze images with on-demand and on-the-fly access. For over three decades, PESA equipment has been active in highly secure C2, C4ISR, and TOC facilities with minimal to no support required from outside personnel.  Once the equipment is configured, signal control is completed via a serial interface, network control, or physical pushbutton control panel.

Thanks to high quality products such as our Vidblox™ fiber and coax extenders that provide video image scaling, VGA to DVI digital signal conversion, and shared video source management in a small footprint package, PESA saves you installation space and valuable time during setup and configuration.  The military is becoming increasingly reliant on high resolution video to dissect visual intelligence information and transform it into a useable defense weapon. Since PESA products are based on the SMPTE industry standard for television broadcast, quality issues like inconsistent image quality, noise, and image degradation are virtually eliminated.  PESA Panthera™ offers a series of compact, multi-window video image processors that provide up to 64 simultaneous images to be displayed on a projector or monitor wall display. With PESA’s Quadbox™ , Cougar3™, Jaguar3™, and Cheetah3™ video switching and routing solutions, signals can be routed to and from on-site conference rooms and other designated buildings or TOC’s through coax or fiber optic cabling insuring high security content distribution for up to 1024 video sources to 1024 video displays. PESA’s network-based Cattrax™ software ties everything together on a network and enables full control of devices, such as cameras, recorders, computers, and switchers, from any location.

“We are excited to provide military and defense customers with an improved method of handling their command and control and situational awareness of valuable real-time video assets,” said Dan Holland, Vice President of Product Marketing. “The PESA family of uncompressed, standards-based video products offers a total command-and-control solution that’s fully featured and user friendly. Our products give contractors, military and government users the flexibility and control they need to create high-tech, high-quality video signal distribution systems.”
