US FIGHTER PILOTS TRAINING ASSISTED BY ZANDAR FUSIONPRO MULTIVIEWERS
February 1st 2005
Dublin, 1 February, 2005 - Zandar FusionPro MultiViewers have
been installed in the 115 Fighter Wing of the United States Air
Force, at Truax Field in Madison, Wisconsin. The training facilities
are being used for tactical training exercises for F-16 fighter
pilots. The installation was completed in 2004.
The Zandar FusionPro MultiViewer is a display processor which
renders multiple video and computer graphics to high resolution
displays. Image resolutions of up to SXGA (1280 x 1024 pixels) achieve
pristine image quality through a flexible combination of source
input format options, an advanced video processing engine and dynamic
phase adjustment for accurate pixel mapping, critical for applications
such as aircraft training.
With the integration of the Zandar equipment, pilots are able to
view a whole sequence of different images and scenes from cockpit
simulations to tactical in-air and combat scenarios. Images are
displayed on four plasma colour monitors.
JAM Electronics, Inc. was contracted by IDL Solutions, a provider
of audio visual solutions for government and military command centers,
to deliver a challenging new multi-source display system. For this
installation, IDL Solutions relied solely on the expertise of JAM
Electronics system integration and product selection to create a
turnkey solution for the 115 Fighter Wing.
Michael Spalding of JAM Electronics comments, “The US Air Force
needed a solution that would allow the viewing of all sources at
any time on any of the four plasma displays in either room. They
also preferred to select combinations of sources at random on any
of the displays. The Zandar product line has once again maintained
seamless integration within our configuration. By incorporating
an Extron Matrix Switcher as the final destination of all the sources,
we were able to send the multi-window layouts from the Zandar FusionPro
in many different configurations.”
He adds, “As a systems integrator in a high technology sector,
our clients always expect leading edge solutions. The Zandar FusionPro
units were chosen because of the high picture quality. They also
gave us the flexibility needed on a project of this importance and
are very easy to operate and customize for integration with other
RS232 control systems, such as the CUE touch control system”.
Deirdre Smith, CEO of Zandar Technologies states, “The pilots,
who are amongst the world elite, rely on the very best technologies
to carry out their challenging roles and Zandar is an integral part
of their vital training equipment. Once again Zandar products have
proven to be prime choice in MultiViewer systems with the United
States Air Force F-16 pilots amongst its extensive list of discerning
clients.”
