2.2 System Overview
The SCOTTY BlueBox delivers superior full high definition video and audio,
even over satellite or other challenging networks with bandwidth constraints
and high latency.
The system supports both common videoconference standards and SCOTTY
proprietary, highly optimized communication protocols. By providing bi-
directional low latency real time communication, unidirectional live video
streaming and video recording for store-and-forward applications, many
different application requirements can be fulfilled. Parallel data channels
enable bidirectional communication of supplementary data and also remote
control of cameras and other equipment. The SCOTTY BlueBox is designed for
demanding environmental needs.
The platform supports a wide range of video interfaces like Composite, HD-
SDI, HDMI, DVI, and VGA with resolutions of up to 1080p60. Highly adaptable
audio interfaces support a wide range of signal requirements. Flexible data
interfaces support various data sources and sinks to be integrated in the
communication system.
The mechanically very robust platform also provides standard PC interfaces
like DVI/HDMI, LAN and USB. An internal solid state disk is used for the
operating software and is available for storage of user data. The SCOTTY
BlueBox is based on a PC platform running Microsoft Windows. The proven
SCOTTY Teleporter provides a flexible, highly configurable user interface.
Excellent EMC characteristics allow employment in setups required to fulfill
Zone 1 – NATO SDIP 27 Class B (AMSG 788).
SCOTTY sees this platform as a building block for highly adapted, optimized
systems; selecting the required hardware and software modules and fitting
them into the optimal mechanical structure will result in optimized, small,
light and low-power solutions.
