RECONFIGURABLE DATA DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

Systems, methods and computer programs products for a reconfigurable data distribution system are described herein. An embodiment includes a stream generator that receives analog data from a plurality of sensors. Data received from sensors, for example, may include video data received from an externally mounted camera on an armored vehicle. The stream generator converts analog data received from the sensors into a digital format that can be transmitted to a router. The router forwards the data in the digital format to a display processor. The display processor formats the data received from the router for display on a display device. The display processor may also receive data from other peripherals, including but not limited to, a touch screen device or a keypad. Furthermore, the display processor may communicate with the sensors and includes all operational information needed to operate the sensors that provide data to the stream generator, regardless of the sensors' operational platform.

1. A reconfigurable data distribution system, comprising:
a stream generator configured to generate data packets encapsulating data received from a plurality of distinct operational platforms the operational platforms associated with components configured to operate on the respective distinct operational platforms; and a processor configured to integrate the data encapsulated in the data packets for display, and to control the components, using operational information comprising one or more control values for controling the components, wherein the processor integrates the data encapsulated in the data packets by embedding first data received from a first component into one or more other data packets including second data received from a second component.
