VIDEO STATUS OVERLAYS
The MX-15i system presents video images with a combined graphical overlay. The overlay contains four types of
user feedback information:
•
graphical aids for aiming and steering orientation
•
system alerts or warning messages
•
status information about the turret or payload sensors
•
status information about the aircraft’s and the target’s geographic positions
Each imaging sensor can be configured individually to either remove or restore various elements from the overlay
display. However, system alerts or warning messages cannot be disabled and will remain displayed in the video
output until cleared by the operator.
Note: The system will not display overlay graphics for optional functions that are not present.

2.2.1 Tracking & Orientation Graphics
Tracking and orientation graphics are the primary overlay graphics an operator will use to assess image aiming,
turret orientation and zoom position. There are four tracking and orientation graphics:
•
Center Reticle marker – a reference point that denotes image center and aiming of the line-of-sight (LOS).
•
Turret Position scales – azimuth and elevation reference scales that report the turret’s current position.
•
Next Zoom markers – a reference indicator for Field-of-View (FOV) that previews the next zoom area for
step-zoomed sensors.
•
Relative Zoom status bar – a reference scale that displays the current FOV relative to the optical limits of the
sensor.
