The XM-DVR Pro with Director and Multi-View Plus 2 System

The XM-DVR Pro with Director and Multi-View System is the most versatile onboard video system on the market.  This dynamic system allows for up to four (4) cameras to be recorded as two separate video files incorporating picture-in-picture, data, and camera switching.  The Plus 2 system includes everything you need to begin recording with two cameras.  With plug and play installation and simple operation, it makes recording video of your flight a snap!

The XM-DVR Pro with Director and Multi-View Plus 2 System includes a digital video recorder, picture-in-picture processor, camera switcher, two (2) bullet cameras, and many accessories.  The recorder is a Datatoys XM-DVR Pro. It is both rugged and compact while still maintaining the highest video quality and doing so on two separate video and audio channels.  The Director Camera Switcher accepts four cameras and via the command of a rotary switch, selects one of the four camera signals to be recorded by one the XM-DVR Pro channels.  The Director also passes through all four camera signals which are then sent to the Multi-View Picture-in-Picture Processor.  The Multi-View accepts the four camera signals and creates one picture-in-picture video stream to be recorded by the other XM-DVR Pro video channel.  The Multi-View also has the ability to overlay accelerometer and optional GPS data on the picture-in-picture video.  The cameras are the Datatoys Sony 580 Line ExView HAD CCD Bullet Camera, which offers a waterproof design, small size, and the highest resolution available in a bullet camera.

With this system two video files are recorded.  One of which is full view of one of the two cameras, selected via a rotary switch in real time.  The second being a picture-in-picture view from the two cameras with optional data overlaid on top of the video. 

The XM-DVR Pro records two (2) channels of video in up to three (3) times the quality of a DVD.  Video is recorded to a removable compact flash memory card, or optional solid state drive.  Once recorded, video can be viewed on a monitor or downloaded to a PC, burned to a DVD, viewed, or uploaded.  The XM-DVR Pro can be connected to virtually any power source, accepting 10-32VDC, which powers the recorder, The Multi-View, The Director, the cameras, and accessories through one simple connection.  The system can be hardwired, connected to our optional Li-ion battery pack, or connected to power with the optional cig plug adapter.  The XM-DVR Pro can be configured to start recording on power-up or on the command of the optional start/stop switch.

The Director is a camera switcher which allows the user to select one of four cameras using a rotary switch.  The Director connects directly to four cameras and then outputs one signal, designated by the switch, which is then recorded by the XM-DVR Pro.  In this configuration, The Director also passes through each of the signals of all four cameras, which can then be sent to the four camera inputs of The Multi-View.  The near-seamless switching of cameras allows for one constant video recording with changing camera views and with the use of the Multi-View, you will see what all four cameras recorded on one screen.  Initially designed for flight tours, the Director can edit video in real time eliminating the need for post production editing.

The Multi-View Quattro-b accepts video from up to four (4) cameras and seamlessly converts them into one output so that you can maximize the action all on one screen.  Along with having 19 available choices picture-in-picture layout, there is a +/-9G vertical accelerometer overlay, and an option for GPS coordinates, altitude, and speed overlay using the Datatoys external GPS sensor.

The Datatoys 580 Line Sony Bullet Camera can be mounted in the cockpit, wing, tail, or strut of the aircraft.  It's light weight, small size, and waterproof design allow for permanent mounting exposed to the elements.  The 580 is optimized for aviation applications with a fast light response and anti-blooming technology. This allows for direct sun light exposure with out damage, all while retaining image quality.

Many options and upgrades are available for The XM-DVR Pro with Director and Multi-View System.  The Plus 2 System can be upgraded to the Plus 3 & 4 System by adding Plus Packs.  Optional cable lengths of one, two, three, four, six, and ten meter are available.   There is a wide range of audio input cables of which include a general aviation headset adapter and helicopter headset adapter.  Optional monitors are also available for the viewing/reviewing of video.

The XM-DVR Pro with Director and Multi-View System are currently in use with aerobatic pilots and flight tour operators looking to get the most out of their flights.  The capabilities and quality of the XM-DVR Pro with Director and Multi-View System, make it the most advanced airborne digital video system available.  For more information or custom requests, contact a Datatoys representative at sales@datatoys.com,  (800) 210-8017 or via live chat.
