Depending on the nature of the host remote platform and desired application, our RocketCam™ Analog Video System (AVS) content can be returned live or recorded on board for delayed viewing by the end user. Our RocketCam™ Digital Video System (DVS) utilizes advances in video compression and channel coding to go beyond the AVS and provide enhanced sensor suites, improved bandwidth fidelity and data integrity, and operational flexibility.

If you're in need of improved situational awareness from a complex system operating in an extreme environment, consider Ecliptic's RocketCam™ Analog Video System (AVS).

Whether the system is in space or other demanding air, land or marine environments, the standard RocketCam™ AVS will return one or more live video streams to project stakeholders. An AVS option allows for onboard recording of the same content as a backup to the live feed.

RocketCam™ AVS provides engineering- and PR-quality situational awareness within a small, rugged, cost-effective package, avoiding the need for high-end and expensive science-quality imaging systems.

RocketCam™ is the world's leading brand of such onboard imaging systems — the same trusted technology employed successfully on dozens of projects since 1997.

If you're in need of improved situational awareness from a complex system operating in an extreme environment, consider Ecliptic's RocketCam™ Digital Video System (DVS).

Whether the system is in space or other demanding air, land or marine environment, the standard RocketCam™ DVS will return live or delayed images — as one or more video streams or as a series of stills — to project stakeholders. Standard DVS features allow for onboard recording of content for true store-and-forward return capability, when it's convenient to do so.

RocketCam™ DVS provides engineering- and PR-quality situational awareness within a small, rugged, cost-effective package, avoiding the need for high-end and expensive science-quality imaging systems. The DVS incorporates advances in video compression and channel coding to provide enhanced sensor suites, improved bandwidth fidelity and data integrity, and operational flexibility.
