Eagle-2 is the latest in the line of high-performance radar scan converters from Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. Eagle-2 provides improved performance and support for high-resolution screen displays up to 2560 x 1600, including 2048 x 2048, making it the perfect choice for high-end radar display applications.
Radar scan conversion on the Eagle-2 is performed using the field proven White-Powell algorithm, combining the best features of both forward and reverse scan conversion. This powerful algorithm ensures that there are no holes or spokes in the displayed image, even when zooming-in at long range, and that all single point targets are displayed. Radar data is passed to the card via high-speed PCI-X bus transfers. Data can originate either from a Curtiss-Wright Osiris radar input card or via network from a radar video server such as Curtiss-Wright’s RVP radar video processing product.
A key feature of Eagle-2 is the ability to accept a DVI graphics input signal, for mixing with the scan-converted radar. During video keying, the Eagle-2 is able to place the video from the graphics card, on a per-pixel basis, either as an underlay or as an overlay to the radar image. This feature is typically used in multi-layer display applications to allow target symbols to be presented as overlays and maps to be presented as underlays.
