VSC-80B Designed for your cockpit

Building on the success of the TEAC V-1000AB-FU-matic Airborne Video Tape Recorder (AVTR), used to record and playback the AH-64's non-standard 875-line FLIR, TEAC has now designed the high-resolution VSC-80B video system. This system combines TEAC's V-80AB-F Hi-8mm 525-line airborne video recorder with Merlin Engineering's precision scan converter, producing a 60% improvement in image quality and resolution over the existing video recording system.

Not only is the advanced VSC-80B system a 100% form, fit and function replacement for the original V-1000 without any modification to the AH-64 paltform, it can be installed on a wired aircraft or moved to another aircraft in less than 15 seconds. All the user has to do is unplug the old system and plug in the new one…drop it in and fly. Delivered weight is approxiamately 18.5 pounds, a saving of 4-10 pounds.

Now available - Image Transmission

The VSC-80B is an updated version of our VSC-80A which allows the user to upgrade to the AIR-RIT (Airborne Integrated Recorder and Remote Image Transceiver). Either the VSC-80A or VSC-80B are drop-in replacements for the V-1000AB-F.

Maximum versatility

FLIR or Day TV images from video sensors can be captured as fast as 4 per second and viewed immediately on the cockpit display. If desired, captured images can be selected for transmission, cropped, deleted, or saved for later transmission. Images received from ground stations or other aircraft can also be immediately viewed on the on-board display and retransmitted when required. Using iamge compression, transmission time of a quality iamge is less than 15 seconds.

The VSC-80B meets the next generation operation needs of the AH-64

  • Reliable operation in severe military environments, including explosive
  • 2 hours recording time vs. 60 minutes
  • Scan-converted 525-line video recording with high-quality video imaging
  • Inexpensive and readily available Hi-8mm or 8mm videocassettes
  • Compatibility with low-cost commercial playback equipment
  • Minimum size and weight
  • High reliability, maintainability and supportability

Combining the strengths of two technology leaders

Recognizing the expanding operational video requirements of the Arny and the limitations imposed by the existing AH-64 AVTR, the TEAC/Merlin system includes a standard 525-line V-80AB-F Hi-8mm and a scan converter that converts the 875-line RS-343 video signal to an RS-170 "standard" 525-line format prior to recording.

By down-scan converting an 875-line signal to 525 lines, a standard video recorder can record and reproduce the 525-line signal at 400 TV lines of horizontal resolution that an 875-line signal will reproduce on a videocassette recorder. Using a scan converting system, the signal can also be converted back to the 875-line format for playback in the cockpit on existing AH-64 video displays. Also, the videotape may be left in the 525-line format or converted back to the 875-line format on the ground.

Environmentally sealed and MIL-qualified

The ruggedized VSC-80B is environmentally sealed and MIL-qualified. It meets or exceeds MIL-STD-810D environmental, salt/fog, and sand and dust requirements as well as MIL-STD-461C EMI/RFI tests. MTBF exceeds 1,000 hours. Not only is the VSC-80B mission-ready and environmentally proofed, it will provide the user with the lowest possible life-cycle costs.

Guaranteed production and global logistics support

Consumer video products may change configuration frequently or be entirely discontinued from production after only a few short years. TEAC, however, guarantees production, configuration control and full logistics support for the life of an avionics program. TEAC can make this guarantee because the VSC-80B is not repackaged, consumer video technology, but totally designed, developed and built by TEAC. TEAC is your partner any time, anywhere in the world.
