RodeoPLUS builds on the capabilities of our Rodeo DVR, adding key features for advanced power-users. You get the same capability for RAW recording from high-performance video cameras, but the media is now more easily removable and available in higher capacities.
The removable SSD can be quickly taken away for safekeeping or to download the video at a separate location. Time sync options have been expanded; IRIG-B timecode can now be directly connected or an optional GNSS receiver can be installed to provide satellite-based timing and position logging. The new chassis is rack-mountable and has more internal cooling to support higher ambient operating temperatures. All together, these features make RodeoPLUS ideal for the most demanding video recording applications, especially test range recording, space launch imaging and other precision video instrumentation tasks.
Timing can be everything when it comes to video analytics. Understanding the precise time when a frame is captured allows a better correlation of imagery to other data sources, such as telemetry systems, environmental sensors, or other DVR systems in other locations. RodeoPLUS includes an IRIG-B (AM) timecode input as a standard feature, able to synchronize with many formats of IRIG timing signals found in major test facilities and on airborne platforms. As well, an optional high-accuracy GNSS receiver can be installed, allowing independent synchronization with not only GPS, but also other international satellite navigation systems. Position data can be logged with video recordings for mobile capture applications. Click the button to the right to learn more.
Three RodeoPLUS DVRs fit conveniently together in a standard 19″ equipment rack, taking up just 2U of height. With a range of different rack towers or rugged portable rack cases on the market, RodeoPLUS DVRs can be deployed in fixed or portable mounting scenarios. The available rack shelf accessory (P/N 2USHELF) facilitates rack mounting with sturdy rear extension arms and can be installed in racks from 18″ to 33.5″ depth.
RodeoPLUS features an FPGA-based recording engine supporting a recording rate of over 2 GBytes/sec to an internal high-performance solid state drive. This drive stores recordings until they can be transferred through the 10GbE interface for further processing. Today, the maximum storage capacity for RodeoPLUS is 16TB, though higher capacity storage will be available in the future. This allows long clips (or many shorter clips) to be recorded before the storage fills up. Video files are stored in a RAW format using the native bit depth of the camera’s output, up to 16-bit quality. Color video is not demosaiced until further into the workflow. With RodeoPLUS CoaXPress, lossless encoding is employed during recording, providing more efficient storage and smaller file sizes, for longer recording times and faster file transfer times than fully-uncompressed files.
