VPIDM
The VPIDM combines the basic concept and capability of the PRISM card and the upgrades include an improved pilot vehicle interface and a compact flash card for image upload and archive.
VPIDM is designed for all applications with space limitations onboard the platform but with available areas within other LRUs.
| Interoperability |
Will communicate with almost anything |
| Video Interface |
Composite, NTSC, RS-170A, RGB, PAL, SECAM, F16 targeting pod |
| Radio Interface |
- Two primary channels on board with 2 expansion channels, each channel can be configured for Analog(FSK, ASK) or digital (NRZ, ASK, Synchronous or Asynchronous) interface.
- One multipurpose serial port which can be configured for RS-422 or RS-232. This port can be used for an interface to the flight computer as a replacement to the 1553 port or can abe used as interface to a digital radio.
