The ARINC 818 protocol’s flexibility accommodates diverse sensor types and architectures. It supports the consolidation of multiple video streams on a single link, which is ideal for systems requiring efficient bandwidth utilization. Additionally, ARINC 818 enables channel bonding, a feature that divides high-resolution video streams across multiple links, ensuring smooth data transmission for large and complex video payloads.

By facilitating the seamless integration of advanced sensors and cameras, ARINC 818 ensures aerospace systems deliver the high-quality, real-time data essential for situational awareness and decision-making. Its robust, low-latency performance makes it an essential component for modern avionics and mission-critical imaging applications.
