Course: MSG05 Version: May 2014 For Training Purposes Only The Transition Plan  The current MSG Video Drawer will be used to support MSG payloads as it has since  However, with the launch of the VUE and the new HD Video Drawer on SPX4, the MSG Project will begin a new support window for MSG payloads that require HD video science.  Per the current manifest, the VUE’s first user will not be onboard until mid- year Just prior to their ops, the VUE will be installed and checked out. The old MSG Video Drawer will be stowed.  Dependent on timelined science activities, the old drawer may be re-installed to support a payload but more likely will be kept in stowage for one year before being brought home. 5

Course: MSG05 Version: May 2014 For Training Purposes Only General Info  Since 2002, the current MSG Video Drawer has proven to be a major resource for MSG payloads and in fact, was a gift from the Dutch government  The new HD Video Drawer and its associated hardware were developed by MSFC  Either MSG Video System will allow MSG science teams to display, record, and downlink real-time science video 6 MSG Video Drawer (top); HD Video Drawer (bottom)

Course: MSG05 Version: May 2014 For Training Purposes Only VUE Enhancements  The MSG VUE has the following enhancements over the current, standard definition video system:  High speed (frame rate)/high resolution cameras (Prosilica GigE)  High definition video cameras (Flare HD)  High resolution video monitors (Viewpoint)  Digital storage (no tapes) w/increased storage capabilities (6.9 Tb)  Ability to receive compressed data from remote GigE camera on ISS LAN  Improved process. Crew will set-up, route, and power video equipment. All science recording, downlink, playback, camera control, etc. will be done by the ground to minimize crew time. Crew will be able to perform ground ops if required. Video tape exchanges no longer required.  Command and control efficiencies. VUE control software will be similar for crew and ground interfaces. 10

Microgravity Science Glovebox Video Overview Video Software Overview

Course: MSG05 Version: May 2014 For Training Purposes Only MSG Video Drawer Graphical User Interface (GUI)  The MSG Video Drawer Control Software and Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed and based on the Microsoft™ Windows™ 3.1 Operating System and is powered by an Intel486™ disk-on-chip processor  Video Control Software GUI has a main display that has Recorder Control, Camera Control, System Time/Status, Video Source, and SPLC Communication selections. 12

Course: MSG05 Version: May 2014 For Training Purposes Only HD Video Drawer Graphical User Interface (GUI)  The HD Video Drawer Control Software and Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed and based on the Microsoft™ Windows™ 7 Operating System and is powered by an Intel Xenon™ E3-1260L processor  The Crew will nominally use only the Video button option for powering hardware and routing video signal. All other options, File Downlink, Health & Status, Ground Ops, and Log will be handled by MSG OPS. 13

Course: MSG05 Version: May 2014 For Training Purposes Only MSG Video Drawer Key Electrical Items  The MSG Video Drawer is powered by ESEM 4A Outlet 1 which is commanded ON by MSG OPS during MSG Activation.  Cable mating occurs at the rear of the drawer.  Inside the drawer the Crew has access to 1)Drawer Power switch (should remain ON after set-up) 2)Fuse Cartridge (contains all fuses) FRONT PANEL

Course: MSG05 Version: May 2014 For Training Purposes Only HD Video Drawer Key Electrical Items  The HD Video Drawer is also powered by ESEM4A Outlet 1 but because it could draw more power than available through ESEM4A Outlet 1 (280 W), it also uses ESEM4A Outlet 2 (formerly only used by MLC). This causes a change to the set- up of the HD Video Drawer and MLC.  The HD Video Drawer will now be connected to LAP J01 and the MLC will be connected/routed through the HD Video Drawer for input power.  The MLC will also use the Ethernet hub installed in the HD Video Drawer to route/dump MRDL files. The HD Video Drawer will now be connected directly to LAN1. 18

Only the recorded, digital files will be HD.

Course: MSG05 Version: May 2014 For Training Purposes Only MSG OPS Video Commanding 23  The MSG OPS console position is a key participant in effective Video Drawer operations  Using commanding software, MSG OPS can readily make changes to cameras, recording devices, and the routing of video signals on either video system – given an available command window during science activities  MSG OPS builds a specific video command subset for each investigation to maximize command efficiency  Ground commanding minimizes the need for actual Crew time which is a premium onboard Space Station. This approach was a major driver in the design and functionality of the VUE hardware.  With loss of ground commanding, crew can perform same tasks for VUE
