Airborne Innovations’ MicroraptorHD is a very compact high definition digital video link designed for applications requiring minimal size, weight, and power.   It combines a dual camera interface, a bidirectional digital video and command and control link which can be used as a primary or backup vehicle data link, and high performance H.264 video compression up to a full 1920×1080 resolution at 30 frames per second.

MicroraptorHD is an enabling technology for high definition video transmission from some of the smallest micro air vehicles.  Larger vehicles can benefit from the  minimal size, weight, and power requirements.

The multiple camera interface allows systems such as daytime + infrared camera combinations to be connected.  Multiple combinations of imager interfaces are supported, from micro HD camera modules as small as 10mmx10mm, to component analog HD / analog SD, Sony HD Block Camera digital interface, DVI, and camera specific digital video interfaces.

Communications interfaces include ethernet, serial, and CAN bus.   Camera gimbals can be directly connected to the system for SD+HD video transmission as well as command and control of the gimbal.  Multiple boards can be connected together for multiple simultaneous HD and/or SD video channels with a single radio.

The board can be used in combination with a Microhard Nano Digital Data Link or as a standalone ethernet based video compression board for use with external datalinks.

A digital video expansion port allows for future advanced features.

A microSD storage card enables high quality video and metadata recording on board.

The system has been designed with requirements and feedback from a number of commercial and military customers.

Custom solutions are possible.
