Collaborative Visualization System

Collaborative Visualization System

The Collaborative Visualization System (CVS) is a state-of-the-art software package that has been developed, distributed, and supported by 3D Research Corporation. CVS is a package that captures, compresses, records, and distributes computer displays to distributed sites for remote viewing. CVS provides a visualization service to distribute Man-Machine Interfaces (MMI) to remote or local sites in a bandwidth efficient manner and scales with the architecture.

  • Some key features of CVS include:
  • Real-time Control of Bandwidth Usage
  • Loss-less Screen Compression and Re-creation
  • Controlled Access to Individual Screens
  • Non-intrusive Video Replication of Mission Critical Interfaces
  • Record, Archive, and Playback of Screens
  • Playback of recorded streams to promote training and real-time monitoring
  • Can be used in wired or wireless networks as well as long-haul communications across WANs

Collaborative Visualization System (CVS) licenses have been deployed at several customer locations, including Aberdeen Proving Grounds, White Sands Missile Range, on the Future Combat System (FCS) Mobile Test Node systems, on the Future Combat Systems PMOC systems, on Boeing's Common Control Node systems, and at Ft. Bliss on a Training Configurable Node. CVS has been used to capture commander displays within the M1A Abrams Main Battle Tank, Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and Command & Control (C2) High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) in support of field tests.
