4 Consilium VDR system
The Consilium VDR is a distributed system that consists of a number of units
connected to each other through Ethernet. There are three categories in a VDR
system; input units, control units and storage units. A typical VDR system contains of
a number of input units, a control unit also called the central, one remote control unit
placed on or in the vicinity of the bridge and one or several storage units.

The input units are divided into four different categories:
Audio input – Audio Mixer Unit (AMU)
Video input – Video Grabber Unit (VGU)
Serial input – NMEA Unit (NMEA)
Digital/Analogue input – Signal Converter to NMEA I/O modules (Signal converter)
The system is configured from an external PC running a VDR configuration tool. The
result of the configuration is a file that is stored in the central and used by the system
every time it starts up. Make sure that correct time is set on the PC (laptop).
The input unit capture and compress external sensor data according to the
configuration, supervise the inputs and sends the data to the central. The central
records and supervise the data flow, packs the recorded data into a file each minute
and send the data file to the storage unit. The storage unit acts as a circular buffer and
the storage time depends on the storage capacity and the storage file size. Minimum
storage time is 12 hours.
