Multi-Viewer Provides High Fidelity Display


The latest in the SuperView family of multi-viewers from RGB Spectrum, model 5000 offers real-time performance with up to 12 windows. The SV5000, housed within a 3RU enclosure, is ideal for any application requiring high fidelity display of multiple images on a monitor or projector. In keeping with RGB Spectrum’s standards of performance and value, the SV5000 delivers realtime performance regardless of the number of inputs and outputs, at any resolution. The model 5000 is based on a custom high performance architecture rather than a PC, with faster updates, more display flexibility, robustness and security. Real time display of inputs is guaranteed under all conditions, without any dropped frames. The SuperView 5000 offers a scalable system that can be expanded to as many as 12 inputs. Input alternatives include RGB/DVI, analog video and HD-SDI. Each input can be sized and positioned anywhere on the screen, as well as panned and zoomed to emphasize areas of particular interest. Display alternatives are virtually infinite, and include quad split, side-by-side, picture-in-picture, and overlapping windows.


Crowbar Attacks Digital Forensic Challenges

Crowbar from ManTech Cyber Solutions International is a unique digital forensic tool designed to perform critical functions needed by the law enforcement and military digital forensics community. Crowbar deciphers personal identification numbers on multimedia flash memory cards typically used in mobile phones, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, and other devices. Crowbar addresses several forensics challenges. For example, many traditional forensics tools will identify a PIN-locked flash memory card as “corrupt” without indicating that the card may be PIN-locked. Crowbar is able to determine if a memory card is PIN-locked, corrupt or damaged. Before Crowbar, the only way a military, law enforcement or civilian government investigator could unlock these storage devices was to obtain the PIN from the owner, or manually guess at the PIN. Crowbar gives investigators access to data stored on PIN-locked secure digital or multimedia card flash memory cards by rapidly attempting to determine the PIN.

Crowbar is a user-friendly, portable, handheld device that is designed for tactical field operations. Crowbar delivers results by saving precious fieldinvestigation time by attempting to crack PINs faster and more efficiently than could be done manually; creating forensically sound images of unlocked cards for further examination back at the lab; and serving as a write-blocked card reader for unlocked cards.
