Compact, High Bit Rate Recorders with Modular Signal Interfacing and Choice of Media
With up to 256Mbit/s total system datarate, these recording/reproducing systems employ media contained in interchangeable cartridges, allowing the user complete freedom of choice between tape, rugged disk and solid state drives at any time during the life of the equipment.
The D5000 media cartridges feature a standard SCSI data interface with optional FireWire and Gigabit Ethernet download interfaces.
These provide high-speed output to other Heim reproducer systems and ensure efficient download and distribution of acquired data direct from the recorded media.

Airborne recorders take GPS onboard
Heim Data Systems has released an integrated 20-channel L1+L2 GPS receiver for its line of high performance airborne recorders.
The D5000 mainframe has three signal module slots that can accommodate any combination of the D Series signal interface modules, including analogue, MIL1553, PCM, ARINC429, Ethernet, voice, serial, parallel, video and others.
The D5000 range is enhanced with new high channel capacity signal modules that can be configured with up to 75 channels in a single mainframe.
Automatic built in test and monitoring facilities ensure that all interfaces are correctly calibrated and operating normally with a minimum of operator intervention.
Complete with an integral 10MHz reference clock and IRIG time code reader/generator, the D5000 Series can also synchronise to external IRIG and GPS time sources.
Fully synchronised channel sampling and packet recording functions ensure high resolution, high accuracy time tagging and consistent channel-to-channel phase relationships for any interface configuration.
These systems are compatible with both Heim data format and the IRIG106 Chapter 10 standard.
The user has permanent access to configuration and control functions through front panel controls, backed up by remote control available through integral computer and discrete contact interfaces.
The D5000 Series will provide a digital recording replacement for both legacy tape based video and avionics data acquisition systems, combining both functions into an economical single box solution with greatly enhanced management and correlation of the data during analysis.
