Media Desk HD was developed for the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009. Made of carbon fibre, it is the control centre for an array of HD cameras and microphones and integrates HD video editing, video compression, storage as well as video and data transmission over the satellite.

HD Delay Line

Historic footage from the camera is continuously cached in memory. When activated by a “Crash Event” the video cache is recorded to Flash disk followed by a pre defined number of minutes of live video. Re-triggering extends recording.

The HD Delay Line is designed to operate in conjunction with the Livewire rugged waterproof day/night camera. The combination of camera and HD delay line offers a low power ‘always on’ system.
