US-based Delta Digital Video is to supply video encoders to Saab Australia for integration with the CCTV system on Anzac-class frigates operated by the Royal Australian Navy.

Model 4480E H.264 HD/SD encoders will allow multiple sources of combat system and other video to be converted and input into the CCTV network, to be delivered into the operations room and throughout the ship.

George Nelson, vice-president and general manager of Delta Digital Video, said: ‘Performance is all that matters when it comes to designing and engineering video encoders to be deployed on shipboard, UAS, manned ISR aircraft, helicopters, ground vehicle platforms.’

The 4480E is compliant with off-the-shelf video players and most decoding hardware. ‘Extended temperature operation makes it ideal for shipboard applications,’ Delta Digital Video claimed.

Saab Australia is part of the Warship Asset Management Agreement Alliance that is conducting a major upgrade to the Anzac class.

Shephard Defence Insight notes that this Anzac Midlife Capability Assurance Program (AMCAP) began in June 2019 with HMAS Arunta. HMAS Anzac  joined the programme in June 2020 and will be followed by HMAS Warramunga
