MicroraptorHD, the World’s Smallest Multi-Camera High Definition Video + Command and Control Link
Very compact multiple camera 1080p video link and bidirectional datalink for micro unmanned vehicles.
The system weighs as little as 50 grams including a high performance radio.
Airborne Innovations’ MicroraptorHD is a very compact high definition video link designed for the smallest
unmanned vehicles. It combines a dual camera interface, a bidirectional digitial video and command and control
link which can be used as a primary or backup vehicle datalink, 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
analog HD/SD 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.
A microSD storage card enables high quality video and metadata recording on board. The COFDM radio RF power
output is 1 Watt, with 1-6 GHz radio options available. Dimensions are 116x45x20mm (4.56×1.77×0.78″) with enclosure,
114x43x15mm (4.48×1.69×0.59″) bare board with radio, or 114x43x5mm for the bare board.
The weight is 50 grams unhoused, or 23 grams for the bare board.
See the system at AUVSI 2012 Las Vegas, August 6-9, booth #4136.
