The solution is part of Harris Corporation’s portfolio of products, systems and services supporting the Department of Defense global information grid. The Centrio multi-viewer is a breakthrough multi-image processor that will feature superior graphics, architecture and integrated test and measurement tools and provides capabilities suited to defense and intelligence communities.

Centrio will allow users to create different views of the world and fuse them into one image that can be routed anywhere, making video analysis a shared work tool among organizations. The multi-viewer will enable users to build a distributed visualization of data sets, shared through one display and routed to other locations in real time.

The Centrio multi-viewer can be connected to many networks and integrate data from more than 512 video or audio inputs, thermal sensors, x-ray machines, surveillance cameras and more into one visual package. When Centrio is connected to a network, it can automatically notify users by PDA, cell phone or other mechanisms that an event has occurred.

Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications, said: Centrio has already gained early market recognition within the broadcast industry as a cost-effective solution for streamlining complex, large-system multi-display monitoring applications. Its innovative architecture and functionality also make Centrio ideal for network operations, command and control centers, training facilities, tactical operations centers or other places that require dynamic access to a large number of inputs and multiple displays.
