We have a company that will do the video compression, imaging and control (control of camera pan/tilt gimbal). This is a dual redundancy system. It seems as if we will be using CAN bus for a distributed sensor+actuator control
architecture. So, it goes something like cameras > camera interface board > digital video link > CAN/ethernet/serial. The CAN manages the sensors and actuators. We then have a master controller, ethernet switch and radios.
