2.2 Architecture
This particular VDR is characterized by a distributed data acquisition and conversion model which
allows data to be acquired close to the sensor, converted into the LWE standard within the
interface (i.e. NW 6410 WaveNet Buscoupler in conjunction with NW 64208 NMEA adaptor) unit
or VDR sensor (i.e. microphone) and stored onto multiple recording media.
Since most data is converted and formatted within the interface or sensor itself, CPU processing
or overhead within the Core module is relatively low which enhances the system’s stability.
This architecture allows for flexible configuration and maximum scalability.
