New HPx-200 Radar Interface Card
Expanded Radar Interfacing Options
Cambridge Pixel's new radar interface card, HPx-200, expands the options for interfacing to commercial and military primary
radar systems. The new card is form-fit-function compatible with the established HPx-100 card and for most situations will be a direct replacement. The card is fully supported with Cambridge Pixel's SPx library, SPx Server and RadarView.
New capabilities of the HPx-200 include expanded interfacing capabilities allowing RS422, opto-coupled or software configurable signal thresholds to be set. An optional end-of-range signal is now supported, allowing video returns to be truncated on receipt of a signal. The card also features increased resolution to 12 bit sampling and the option to capture two 8-bit videos simultaneously.

RadarView Gets Map Display Feature Enhancements
RadarView, Cambridge Pixel's PC-based radar visualisation software, has been enhanced to support a built-in vector map as an underlay to the radar video. This map database provides full world coverage with a 40m resolution and is available as standard with all versions of RadarView. Multiple layers of radar video may be scan converted and blended with the map.
We are in final stages of testing the latest set of RadarView display enhancements which will include AIS target display. This will allow RadarView to display primary radar video, primary plots, tracks and secondary-derived AIS or ADS-B overlays.

COTS Journal Article
In this month's COTS Journal (May 2011), Cambridge Pixel's David Johnson describes how a modern
open-systems approach to radar display system provides significant cost savings for naval command and control displays.
By using general purpose hardware and a flexible open software structure that is open to change, systems integrators can develop advanced, flexible real-time radar displays while reducing lifetime costs.

New Royal Navy Ships get Cambridge Pixel Radar Solution
Cambridge Pixel is pleased to be supplying its SPx software-based Radar Scan Conversion and HPx-100 Radar Acquisition hardware to BAE Systems for deployment on the Type 45 Destroyer and QE Class Aircraft Carriers.
In a contract worth in excess of
$1,000,000, Cambridge Pixel will supply BAE with software and hardware components from its SPx product family. The solution will provide a video server to receive
the ship's radar videos and compress them for distribution on an Ethernet network. At each client console,
Cambridge Pixel's software scan converter handles the display presentation of the radar video and supports the mixing with the application graphics. BAE Systems chose Cambridge Pixel's solution after a thorough assessment and comparison of available products.
