Designed for use in aircraft, vehicles, the factory and the laboratory

Take the world's fastest DVR engine. Make it ultra-compact and lightweight. What do you get? IO Industries DVR Express® Blade. The DVR that catches more action in more places than ever before possible.

The Blade's 12V DC power input, low power consumption (45W max.), and optional built-in GPS receiver, ideally suit it for video recording in aircraft and vehicles. Integration into the factory environment is simplified by its small size, just 1U of rack space, and its facility for full remote control by Ethernet.

An embedded system design with no internal hard disk ensures greater reliability and lower maintenance than PC-based DVR systems.

For pure unbridled recording performance, nothing compares. The Blade's DVR engine is powered by three 4Gb fibre channel disk controllers delivering a maximum sustained uncompressed recording data rate of 1.1 GByte per second, direct to hard disk or SSD.

Advanced features include precision time-stamping of video frames in hardware, hardware trigger inputs/outputs with FPGA-controlled timing manipulation, audio recording, and meta-data recording over RS232.
