Reconfigurable data distribution system
First Claim
1. A reconfigurable data distribution system, comprising:
- a stream generator configured to receive data from a plurality of distinct operational platforms and encapsulate the received data into data packets, the plurality of distinct operational platforms being associated with components operating on the distinct operational platforms;
a switch configured to translate first control data received from an input device using operational information comprising one or more control values and output the first control data to at least one of the components associated with the plurality of distinct operational platforms; and
a processor configured to integrate the encapsulated data from the plurality of distinct operational platforms, output the integrated data to a display, and control the components, regardless of the distinct operational platforms, using second control data.

Abstract
Systems, methods and computer programs products for a reconfigurable data distribution system are described herein. An embodiment includes a stream generator that receives analog data from a plurality of sensors. Data received from sensors, for example, may include video data received from an externally mounted camera on an armored vehicle. The stream generator converts analog data received from the sensors into a digital format that can be transmitted to a router. The router forwards the data in the digital format to a display processor. The display processor formats the data received from the router for display on a display device. The display processor may also receive data from other peripherals, including but not limited to, a touch screen device or a keypad.
