1.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The MX-15i system consists of two main components:
• Turret
• Hand Controller
The turret provides hardware and software functions that allow crew members to operate the MX-15i system using
the Hand Controller as the operator controls. External communication interfaces can be utilized to control operation
remotely through aircraft computer systems.
The turret contains a video switching matrix that manages output to external display monitors, video tape recorders
(VTR) and other associated video equipment. Graphical overlays on top of the displayed video provide the primary
method for viewing system status information. Infrequently used status information and other control parameters
are viewed through user menus.
