The CPT-207 Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is one of a long line of Airborne Video Recorders developed to support Caledonian Airborne Systems
Scorpio Mission Systems employed on a wide range of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in the maritime surveillance role. These recorders have
been employed for the recording of Caledonian’s own mission computer’s video output; however the hardware is equally capable of working as a
standalone unit interfacing with multiple video interfaces including composite video from electro optical systems plus associated mission audio.
The latest generation has kept pace with the transition from standard to high definition video and is capable of handling video encountered in
current state-of-the-art mission systems.
The CPT-207 DVR is the smallest, lightest, lowest power, and simplest member of the Scorpio family of recorders offering recording of up to
full HD resolution video with associated audio.
