Modular Solutions For Radar Video Processing And Display

Radar Processing and Scan Conversion Solutions for Windows and Linux/X11

Radar Compression, Recording and Distribution

Cambridge Pixel provides solutions for real-time radar, video and graphics applications. We provide off-the-shelf radar acquisition, processing and display solutions from our SPx product family for applications in naval command and control, air traffic control, vessel traffic and air-borne radar applications.

We offer a unique set of skills and experience in the processing and display of primary radar, including acqusition, network distribution, clutter processing, target tracking and software scan-conversion in PPI, A-Scan and B-Scan display formats. The SPx radar processing family takes full advantage of high-performance, multi-core processors and graphics platforms, reducing maintenance costs and dependence on specialised hard-to-replace custom hardware.

The SPx Toolkit is designed to be flexible, extensible and open. We offer a comprehensive range of radar processing modules that can be combined as needed, plus you can write your own modules to provide specific processing functions not covered by the standard library. The SPx framework handles the data flow and provides the input and display components. Our SPx Scan Converter is a powerful and highly flexible display tool for presenting real-time radar displays. It provides real-time fading and supports multi-channel scan conversion allowing different radar inputs, or alternatively different processed videos, to be displayed simultaneously in multiple colours.

HPx-100 PCI Radar Interface Card

The new HPx-100 Radar Interface card provides an easy and cost-effective acquisition solution for primary radar video.

The card interfaces to analogue or digital radar signals and captures primary video for processing and transfer across the PCI bus. A powerful on-board FPGA allows local processing before transfer to the SPx software driver. The HPx-100 is available as a PCI card with accompanying low-level drivers for Windows and Linux, or may optionally be preconfigured into a server for distribution, recording, plot extraction and tracking.
