Airport video distribution system
Camdata designed and manufactured a video and communication system for Jersey airport.
This distributes video to both staff and customers, containing flight and weather information
Airport serial data distribution system
Camdata provided MSLC communications cards to many UK airports, owned by the British Airport Authority to distribute passenger information. This used long distance RS485 interfacing allowing cabling lengths of up to several kilometres between PC and display.
Air traffic control data input system
Camdata was
commissioned to design and manufacture of a large quantity of keypads
and communications multiplexers for the West London Air Traffic Control
centre. The keypads allow the air traffic controllers to select the
image associated with a specific “stack”, where aircraft await
permission to land. The multiplexers collect data from 100+ keypads and
act as a store-and-forward mechanism for the dual mini-computers
controlling the system. The system has multiple levels of redundancy.
The images show the multiplexor and the keypad.
Aerial recognisance computers
For Zeiss Optics, Camdata designed the TT-L computer for the RMK TOP
large format aerial recognisance camera. This was based on
the Microscribe 600 computer, running CP/M (the precursor to MSDOS) and
in 2007, it is still widely in use throughout the world
Airport fog detection terminals
This was based on the Microscribe 600 computer, running CP/M (the precursor to MSDOS) and is still widely in use throughout the world.
Runway Lighting
A system was introduced by a Nottingham systems supplier in the late 1980s that allows control of the runway lighting at London’s Heathrow airport. This has two main benefits: lighting on the taxiways can be illuminated only when needed (saving electrical power) and aircraft can be “led” around the airport by switching lights on in front of the aircraft during taxiing. In 2003, Camdata started replacing the original CRT based terminals with LCD units. Form, fit and function compatibility was retained.
Programming devices for Airbus
Camdata provided handheld terminals used by Airbus during wing manufacture. This is at the Chester factory and is part of the quality control process.
