Video Generation and Control System.
Abstract
The purpose of the Video Control Center is to generate, control, monitor and record all standard video signals needed in AFAL/AA's simulation facility. Video signals may be generated live, from video tape, or from movie film. The video signals can be monitored at the console and distributed to a remote location such as the cockpit simulator. Special effects can be used to alter the signal. Cameras are available to observe the pilot's movements during a simulation. This information, as well as all other video signals, can be recorded on tape for future reference. The system can also serve as a training tool in that demonstration and instruction tapes can be produced. For example, the operation of the DAIS computer was demonstrated and recorded using the Video Control facility. The Flying Spot Scanner is designed to simulate a raster type sensor on an aircraft. The scanner is included in this report because it is a source of video and depends on control signals from the Video Control Center for operation. This report is a description of the Video Control Center and the Flying Spot Scanner.
