TuffCORD: Capturing HD-SDI Uncompressed Video in harsh environments.

When it Comes to Capturing the Best Quality Video, the TuffCORD is tough to beat!
Uncompressed HD-SDI video has become increasingly more desired for precision video analysis and real-time decision-making. With an HD-SDI interface, Ampex's TuffCORD Video Data Recorder gives users the benefit of zero video data losses, true color, and smooth edges for advanced analysis (multispectral, auto-ID via machine learning, etc).
​Built for harsh environments, the TuffCORD also meets a variety of operational needs to include functioning as a network file server, mission/flight test data recorder, or a mission data loader. It has expansion capability for additional Ethernet and other bus types (MIL-STD-1553B, CAN bus, etc.)

Sometimes Compressed Video is not enough:

• Smooth edges become “squares” making analysis less accurate
• Transient objects in only one frame can be lost
• Color flattening reduces the number of shades
• Quality is lost with each generated digital copy

Raw, Uncompressed Video delivers unmatched quality:

• True shapes enable increased precision
• 100% of the objects in a scene are captured, zero losses
• True color when it matters: multispectral analysis, coherent change detection
• With the best video, automatic ID algorithms achieve the best results
• No loss in picture quality with digital copies
