VIDEO COMPRESSION DECK FOR A MODULAR FLIGHT PCM ENCODER SYSTEM

Abstract

Overview of video compression modules developed and flown as part of PSL’s flight-proven family of modular PCM components. Wavelet based video compression deck is compatible with PCM Encoder modules, allowing video to be included in instrumentation data stream. Video compression modules allow the user to select video frame rate and video quality, supports 8-16 bits/word, and non-symmetrical PCM matrices. Video Compression and formatting is achieved with a wavelet compression IC and specialized DSP code. Video output is achieved with PSL PCM Decommutator and Video Decompression Module.
