ANT-1771 Smallest Lightest UAV Drone Micro Encoder / Decoder

Weighing less than 43 grams

BRAY, England, November 12, 2015 -- Antrica, a worldwide supplier of H264 video encoding and streaming solutions, today unveiled the ANT-1772 UAV MICRO, its latest multichannel encoder for airborne and ground Drone encoding and streaming applications over IP. As the world's smallest dual-channel H.264 HD/SD encoding or decoding solution, weighing less than 43 grams.


The ANT-1772 Micro sets a new standard of performance for manned and unmanned airborne platforms, unmanned vehicles, and other robotic units. The ANT-1772 consumes less than 4 watts of power for 1080p30 encoding plus simultaneous PAL /NTSC encoding.

"With the market for unmanned flying and ground Drone systems growing exponentially, developers increasingly need miniaturized, low latency, low data rate, lightweight Video encoding solutions."

ANT-1772 UAV MICRO features simultaneous low-latency streaming of two sources from HD-SDI and analog composite signals ,together with 2 way serial data, audio and Micro SD card recording on board.. The miniature 45 x 45 x18mm board can be integrated easily into a drone design and offers extended temperature and voltage range for operation. As well as encoding the unit can act as a hardware decoder with HD-SDI, Micro HDMI and Composite outputs.

"Antrica has been providing an extensive range of video encoding and decoding solutions to a variety of applications and markets for over 15 years. The ANT-1772 is Antricas first solution specifically designed for the UAV Drone market and meets new standards for miniaturization " said Les Litwin Sales Director of Antrica.

ANT-1771 UAV MICRO is available as a PCB module for integration into UAV systems. The unit will be on display during the ISE show in Amsterdam February 2016.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
