CS <strong>COFDM</strong> Digital <strong>Video</strong> <strong>Products</strong>Cobham Surveillance has introduced a new family of <strong>COFDM</strong>(Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed) digital videoproducts called SOLO, with domo technology at their core. Theseproducts support narrowb<strong>and</strong> (1.25MHz <strong>and</strong> 2.5MHz) <strong>and</strong> full DVB-Tcompliant (6, 7, or 8MHz) channelisation. This line has specificallybeen developed for worldwide customers in the law enforcement<strong>and</strong> military markets, <strong>and</strong> for the manufacturers of UnmannedGround Vehicles <strong>and</strong> Unmanned Aerial Vehicles who supporttheir missions.Digital technology has made rapid advancements in key areas overthe past few years. Notably the size, weight, power consumption<strong>and</strong> cost have dropped by about 30% per year. Cobham now offersdigital systems that represent good value to users <strong>and</strong> are a betterfit for operational requirements than analogue systems. It alsodevelops specific implementations of <strong>COFDM</strong> technology for thepublic safety <strong>and</strong> military markets.Cobham Surveillance is committed to working with customers ondeveloping products that meet specific needs, <strong>and</strong> invites you todiscuss your requirements with its team.The benefits of digital transmissionThe migration from analogue microwave systems to digitaltransmission offers several key benefits to users:Better Performance - By using digital modulation <strong>and</strong>compression techniques, digital microwave provides superiorperformance in non-line of sight <strong>and</strong> high multipath applications.Unmanned Ground Vehicles operating in buildings or urbanenvironments, as well as low flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, willbe able to transmit dramatically clearer video with less break up toremote receive stations. Covert surveillance cameras no longer needto have a clear line of sight to the receive location to have goodpicture quality. Unlike analogue, digital video picture quality is noisefree regardless of distance• Efficient Spectrum Utilisation - Digital video systemsoperate in a fraction of the spectrum utilised by typical analoguetransmitters, offering up to 8 digital video streams in thespectrum previously used to transmit a single analogue channel.Cobham SOLO products support 1.25MHz or 2.5MHz channelsin the narrowb<strong>and</strong> configuration or 6-8MHz channels in the fullDVB-T compliant configuration. This compares to up to 25MHzfor a typical analogue channel. In addition, digital channels canbe located adjacent to each other without a guard interval.Analogue systems tend to bleed over their allotted spectrum,requiring several Megahertz of separation between channels at aminimum.As regulatory agencies worldwide reallocate spectrum, it’s clear thatdigital transmission enables more users to co-locate channels in anincreasingly crowded RF spectrum.• Secure Transmission Using Encryption - Digitaltransmission enables the secure transmission of video by usingAES128 or 256 bit encryption. There is no penalty to the userin terms of performance. Analogue systems don’t offer thiscapability as a feature. Analogue “cut <strong>and</strong> rotate” encryptionmodules are expensive, often doubling the price of a system,<strong>and</strong> not nearly as effective in securing the video data stream. Inaddition, they add to the size of both the transmitter <strong>and</strong> thereceiver. Digital offers true encryption with no additional sizepenalty. In the case of the Cobham receiver, AES encryption canbe carried on over the <strong>IP</strong> network• Set up for Internet Access - Many customers are lookingat how to access their video from anywhere, at any time, overthe internet. Digital transmission makes it easier to send dataover the internet, avoiding the need for a separate analogue-todigitalconversion. Cobham receivers have been designed to offerinternet connectivity by means of an optional TCP/<strong>IP</strong> Ethernetnetwork interface, accessed via a convenient RJ45 connection.SECTION 1 – Technology <strong>and</strong> ApplicationsFor further information please contact: domo.sales@cobham.com 03
