1. Description and operation
1.1. Product description
The video camera BlackBird 2 is designed to generate a video signal a various of
formats:
 3D SIDE BY SIDE – video format of the stereo pair
 INTERLACED 3D – interlaced stereo image
 3D dual channel video – dual channel mode stereo image
 2D video – single video image (right or left video sensor)
Through the use of high-quality image sensors and a FPGA chip for video processing,
the BlackBird 2 generates a stereoscopic analog video signal in real time. The small
size, support for input supply voltage in the range of 5V to 15V and a large choice of
video outputs makes the camera versatile and easy to use.
For the wireless transmission of stereo image from the camera to your 3D monitor or
3D video goggles, you can use an analog video transmitter

, to transmit via Wi-Fi
network, use a Converter AV to Wi-Fi. Recording is done via the capture card or DVR.
Areas of use of the BlackBird 2:
 FPV (first person view) - as a steering camera to a radio controlled
quadrocopter, model airplane, car or robotic platform
 Video surveillance - as a stereo security video camera
 A system of computer vision - for stereo image capture and its subsequent
processing (i.e. VR)
Only the BlackBird 2 can be used in one of the many applications with a need for a
true stereo video signal.

The BlackBird 2 can transmit stereo images using one or two analog video transmitters, depending
on the size of the stereo image. Recommended frequencies for an analog video transmission are:
5.8GHz, 2.4 GHz, 1.2GHz or 900MHz.
