The TuffCORD Video Data Recorder can record all video types, act as a network file server, a mission or flight test data recorder, and a mission data loader. Uncompressed HD-SDI video has become increasingly more desired for precision video analysis and real-time decision-making. With an HD-SDI interface and a market leading Delta Digital Video encoder, the TuffCORD gives users the benefits of both uncompressed video and compressed video. The TuffCORD also has expansion capability for additional Ethernet and other bus types, including MIL-STD-1553B, CAN bus, and more.

Designed for Information Assurance

The TuffCORD has been designed from the ground up to provide cybersecurity capabilities that meet the real-world needs of operators.

Performance and Capacity

Gigabit Ethernet has become the default networking technology for onboard data storage applications, and the TuffCORD provides two 1000Base-T interfaces, as well as expansion capability for options for video and other bus types, including MIL-STD-1553B, CAN bus, and even WiFi networking.

TuffCORD provides a single high-capacity, high performance removable memory module, with capacities from 240GB to 4000GB (4TB) and higher, as memory technology matures. 

Each memory module offers raw performance in excess of 250MB/second sustained, providing a recording duration of more than four hours even at the maximum operational rate.

Open System, Trusted Environments

The heart of the TuffCORD is a standardized, rugged pluggable processing module, integrating the CPU with memory and conventional I/O interfaces such as PCI Express, USB, Ethernet and serial ports. 

The TuffCORD uses an Intel AtomTM “Bay Trail-I” family CPU that features 64 bit processing and, critically, the “AES New Instructions”. Using validated software modules, this capability facilitates high-speed encryption and decryption in accordance with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, FIPS 197) and therefore a part of a FIPS 140-2 solution.
