Product Description

Evenlode Lite is the latest offering in the Evenlode Video and Data downlink family. The system offers an entry level end-to-end video downlink solution for aircraft Integrators requiring a video downlink for ISR aircraft upgrades or capability uplifts. Evenlode Lite retains all of the reliability and performance expected from the Evenlode ISR video downlink family.

Evenlode Lite retains all of the reliability and performance expected from the Evenlode ISR video downlink family. An Evenlode lite, consists of an Air Data Terminal (ADT) used to downlink a single video, audio, GPS, KVL metadata*** and telemetry data from the air platform to the Ground Data Terminal (GDT).

Evenlode Lite is a series of equipment from the Evenlode Data Link range providing capability for a range of Information Exchange Requirements; equipment may be deployed for police, border guard and search and rescue
applications. Evenlode Lite has a defined upgrade path; from Evenlode Lite to Evenlode I, II and Evenlode III as user requirements develop building on previously installed hardware. Evenlode Lite operates on several fixed frequency bands, utilising Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) technology with enhanced modulation techniques. COFDM has been chosen for this Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) system because of its broadcast quality capability and tolerance to multi-signal paths.

Evenlode Lite utilises the latest H.265 ECS video/audio & data encoder and decoder offering multiple video formats and resolutions across an ultra-low latency link securely with sub-cipher or full AES-256** encryption.
The Evenlode Lite ADT equipment is DO-160G certified and may be installed as a fixed stackable unit or as individual modules in the aircraft, employing a single 2dBi transmit antenna. Evenlode Lite Ground Data Equipment is delivered in a single softcase enclosure employing a single 7/8dBi* receive antenna. Declaration Design Performance and Interconnecting Diagrams along with user and installation manuals are included in the Evenlode Lite solution.
