The Model SSC/300 Stroke-to-Video Scan Converter is a rugged, flight-worthy unit designed to convert cockpit stroke video from XYZ vector to a standard raster video format. The converted video can then be recorded, displayed, switched or transmitted using standard video equipment. Stroke video is generated by a variety of random-deflection devices, including certain radar and sonar devices, spectrum analyzers, and Heads Up Display (HUD) generators. A choice of RS-170 or PAL formats are available. The SSC/300 accepts a wide range of inputs. Separate gain and offset adjustments for X, Y, and Z are provided in the unit to permit calibration. The calibration potentiometers are easily accessed by removing the SSC/300’s front cover. Jumper selectable controls are also provided to invert each vector input or select balanced or unbalanced signals. High quality video is generated by a combination of high frequency sampling and an advanced scaling algorithm. Scaling is an important consideration when converting computer-generated graphics or alpha numerics to a raster format. The SSC/300 is designed to meet the requirements for airborne operation (MIL-STD-810E/MIL-STD-461C). The metal housing, conduction cooling and MIL-rated power converters permit the unit to provide reliable performance even in the harshest conditions.
