Next-Generation PBP Monitors with RS232 Control for Advanced Drone Operations
Real-Time Multi-Source Visualisation for Mission-Critical Applications
In today’s fast-moving drone and unmanned systems environment, real-time visualisation and effective multitasking are essential. Crystal Display Systems (CDS) offers next-generation Picture-by-Picture (PBP) monitors with RS232 control, engineered to support demanding drone operations where multiple data sources must be viewed simultaneously on a single display.
Designed for professional drone pilots, survey teams, defence operators, and industrial inspection specialists, CDS PBP monitors enhance situational awareness and operational efficiency by delivering clear, synchronised multi-source imagery in real time.
Key Features & Benefits
🚀 Dual-Source Real-Time Display
CDS PBP monitors allow operators to split the screen and view multiple live input sources simultaneously. Typical use cases include combining live drone camera footage with mapping software, telemetry data, or control interfaces—ideal for mission-critical operations requiring both visual and navigational insight.

Supporting HDMI, DisplayPort (DP), and SDI video inputs, CDS PBP monitors integrate easily with popular ground control stations, video transmitters, and UAV platforms. This flexibility makes them suitable for applications such as:
Surveying and mapping
Search and rescue
Infrastructure and utilities inspection
Defence and security operations
Aerial cinematography and broadcast
RS232 control enables reliable external system integration and precise display management in complex operational environments.
🗺️ Enhanced Situational Awareness
Operators can monitor high-resolution aerial video alongside telemetry, GPS maps, or thermal imaging feeds in real time. This multi-view capability supports faster, more informed decision-making in both field and command-centre deployments.
💡 Ultra-High-Definition Visual Performance
Available in Full HD and 4K resolutions, CDS PBP monitors deliver sharp, detailed imagery for both live video and graphical interfaces—reducing the risk of missed details during critical missions.
