Before revision: Although simplired , ADVB retains attributes of Fibre Channel that are beneficial for mission-critical applications: High Speed / High Reliability / Low Latency / Flexibility / High-Performance / Uncompressed Digital Video Transmission Benefits of ARINC 818 (ADVB): Low Overhead Real-time transmission of video signals at high data rates (high bandwidth) Low-latency Uncompressed Digital Video transmission Flexibility - not tied to any one physical layer or video format Opportunity to standardize high-speed video systems High reliability - 2 layers of error checking available Networking capable Multiple video streams on a single link Multiple timing classes defined Suitable for mission-critical applications (up to DAL A) Background In aircraft, an ever-increasing amount of information is supplied in the form of images, this information passes through a complex video system before reaching cockpit displays.
