The gimbal’s pitch angle ranges from -120° to +120°, and its roll angle ranges from +25° to
- 25°. The roll function is automatic, so that it rolls in the opposite direction as the AV,
allowing for the camera to remain horizontal in roll and pitch up to 25°.
The electro-optical portion of the camera is a 64 Megapixel CMOS image sensor combined
with an 80-degree horizontal field-of-view (HFOV) lens. The EO camera takes 4624x3472
video as well as 16 MP resolution still images in JPEG or TIFF format. Optical video from
the camera is stored in the AV’s on-board flash memory or SD card.
The infrared portion of the camera has a 34-degree HFOV and captures video in a 640x512
format. The IR camera also has a built-in shutter for automating non-uniformity
correction, which reduces image blurring and artificial ghosting. IR video is stored in on-
board flash memory or SD card in 640x512 format.
The EO/IR camera module provides simultaneous EO and IR video streams to the AV CPU,
formatted as an H.264 elementary stream video within a MPEG2 Transport Stream. Either
optical or IR video can be selected to be transmitted over the radio link in a compressed
format. Transmitted optical video is sent in a 1024x768 scan format. Video latency to the
GCS has been minimized to ensure safe operation in confined areas.
10.1.10 MICRO SD CARD AND CARD SLOT
The I/O port cover door swings open to expose the I/O ports. The port on the left is a Micro
SD card slot. Teal’s Field Repair Kit includes one 128 GB Micro SD card and one SD card
adapter that can be used to store and transfer media files from the AV.
Using the Micro SD card for storage is not a secure
method of transferring confidential media files, but
currently is one of the limited options for doing so.
Understand the risks of losing the content of the SD
card if the AV is lost or not recoverable.
The microSD card provided in the kit is already formatted for AVS use. Other SD cards
might need formatting for compatibility.
To format the SD card on the AVS:
1. Make sure the AV and GCS are connected.
2. Insert microSD card.
