MC-VCM by Great River Technology

Great River Technology's Multi-Channel Video Converter Module (MC-VCM) is a versatile solution for integrating older video systems and sensors with high-resolution LADs, HUDs, and EO/IR sensors.


Up to 8 bidirectional channels with options for 12x12:

  • ARINC 818 conversion to/from: HDMI, DVI, 3G/HD-SDI, NTSC/PAL, STANAG 3350, HOTlink, Ethernet, RS-170, CVBS

  • Incorporate multiple protocols, assign one per channel (e.g., 2 channels 3G/HD-SDI, 2 channels NTSC)

  • Link rates: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5.0 Gbps, 6x, 8x, 10.0 Gbps

  • Video concentrator to ARINC 818 or Ethernet (1-10) GbE

  • Optional configuration: Can be used as a platform to develop custom applications. You can access the FPGA to incorporate proprietary image processing or sensor fusion algorithms.

Recently shipped configurations:

  • 5 HOTlink bonded channel inputs with a concentrated Ethernet output/ Command, control, and status interface on Ethernet using UDP/IP packets.

  • 4 ARINC 818 inputs with 4 HD-SDI outputs. Command, control, and status interface on Ethernet using UDP/IP packets.
