16:9 Frame 1280 x 720

1080pThe full 1920x1080 pixel sensor is utilized for the 1080p image. The central portion of the imagesensor is utilized to generate the720p image, an even smaller subset is used to generate PAL orNTSC outputs. 1080p has 2x theresolution of 720p and 6x the resolution of standard definition(PAL, NTSC)

THE MX-15 TRUE HD IMAGING BENEFITS

True HD camera - Superior 1080p imaging resolution outperforms competitive 720p systems• 2 mega-pixel EO zoom and spotter cameras

True HD Digital Imaging - Meets the needs of new & legacyplatforms through multiple Digital & Analog output formats• No image degradation due to compression

Enhanced Local Area Processing (ELAP)Real-time image enhancement for EO Day, EO Night & IR• Increases stand-off range• Improves feature detection & recognition • High performance haze penetration• Provides up to 4x electronic zoom

Solid-State IMU-Inside technology• All sensors share highest level of stabilization • No calibration required for LRU swapout• Auto align to aircraft

Multi-Format• Simultaneous digital & analog outputs

Integrated MCU • Installed weight reduced by up to 50lbs• Eliminates 1 LRU• Reduced install and support costs

Charge-Multiplied Night Spotter and Laser Illuminator• 24/7 EO Imaging• 2-3x superior resolution over IR technology• 2x superior resolution over Image Intensifier technology

Multiple laser payloads• Long Range Target Illumination, Pointing and Range-Finding

MX-GEO Gen.3 software suite• Achieves highest target location accuracy • AVGT marries Video and GEO-Tracking to provide robust

target tracking
