1. Supported Data Channels & Formats

    • How many radar input channels? Does it support AIS/ADS‑B/track data?

    • Does it support network video streams, audio, navigation messages?

    • Example: the RDR supports primary radar video, track reports, AIS, ADS‑B, NMEA‑0183, ONVIF/RTSP video.

  2. Synchronization & Replay Capability

    • Must time‑stamp all channels so during replay you can correlate radar returns, camera video and other streams.

    • Replay should allow jumping to timestamps, event markers, exporting segments. RDR includes timeline display with thumbnails and event markers.

  3. Storage & Scalability

    • Large storage capacity since radar + video + multiple channels generate high data volume.

    • Ability to schedule recordings, auto‑delete old sessions, archive. Example: RDR supports session scheduler & auto‑deletion.

  4. Input/Output Interfaces

    • Check physical and network inputs (ethernet, serial, SDI, etc) and outputs for replay.

    • For radar video replay you may need specific output cards (RDR uses HPx‑310 output card for analog radar replay)

  5. User Interface & Control

    • Easy user interface to monitor status of channels, quick look, ensure data is being recorded correctly.

    • Remote control capability (via network or web interface) is a useful feature. RDR supports local GUI, network and web interface.

  6. Deployment & Environment

    • Consider whether it’s a field deployable unit or a rack‑mount lab system.

    • Ensure ruggedness, reliability, power backup if needed for tactical/military use.

    • Also check for local support, compatibility with local radar formats, integration with your existing systems.
