Record Real-Time Data Over 10 Gigabit Ethernet
When your source sends UDP packets over 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Conduant records that stream straight to disk. Ethernet is the pipe that carries your real-time data, RF, radar, imaging, or any digitized source, from the instrument into the recorder, point to point.
- Records the UDP stream from your real-time source, at full rate, with no dropped packets
- A direct point-to-point path from the instrument to the recorder
- Uses the 10GbE interface your source hardware may already have
- Continuous write to removable NVMe, so a long capture offloads fast

Ethernet is the pipe for your source data
This is a way to get your real-time source data into the recorder. Your instrument sends its digitized stream as UDP packets over 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and Conduant writes those packets straight to disk. The recorder is not inspecting the network or the traffic on it. It is capturing the source data the packets carry, at full rate, with none of it dropped.
UDP from a real-time source
Your source streams digitized data as UDP packets. The recorder writes that stream to disk as it arrives, with nothing dropped along the way.
A direct point-to-point link
In most cases the source connects straight to the recorder, so the data has one job on that link, which is to reach the disk.
An interface you may already run
Ethernet hardware is everywhere. If your source already has a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port, that port is a ready way to feed the recorder.
StreamStor® Cobra Recording System
The StreamStor Cobra takes the UDP stream arriving over 10 Gigabit Ethernet and writes it continuously to removable NVMe over a peer to peer PCI Express path, with no host or file system in the way to introduce a gap. Whatever your source is sending, the recorder captures it as it comes in.

- ✓Captures whatever your source sends, at the rate it sends it, with no dropped packets
- ✓A long capture is a matter of storage, sized to the run
- ✓Removable NVMe offloads fast between runs
- ✓The SDK covers .NET, C#, C++, C, LabVIEW, and MATLAB, and the system runs commanded over a network link
Full Cobra specifications sit on the product page. The sources this carries are covered on the radar and EW and RF and spectrum pages, and the other transports on the Xilinx Aurora and ODI and Interlaken pages. Or browse all recording solutions. How the recorder holds a rate end to end is on the high-speed data recording page, and capacity options with the storage and drive modules.
Built and supported in Longmont, Colorado
Conduant has built recording systems since 1996, with hundreds of installations behind it. Design, build, and support happen in the same building, and the engineer who designed a system answers the phone about it.
- ✓Records out of the box. The system captures your source stream on delivery, with no acquisition software to build.
- ✓Tested at rate before it ships. Assembled, run at the rate it was ordered for, and verified in Longmont before it ships.
- ✓No dropped packets. The write path is built around the incoming rate, so the source stream lands complete.
- ✓Reach the engineer who built it. Support goes to the design team, with no ticket queue and no forced contract.
- ✓Custom builds in as little as 30 days. When the standard configuration does not fit, Conduant builds to the requirement.
- ✓Made and supported in the United States. [[ITAR: Ken's exact compliance wording goes here verbatim.]]
Common questions
How does recording over 10 Gigabit Ethernet work?
Your source sends its digitized data as UDP packets over a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link, usually point to point into the recorder. Conduant writes that stream straight to removable NVMe over peer to peer PCI Express, so the source data lands on disk at full rate with no dropped packets.
Is this a network analyzer or packet capture tool?
No. Conduant does not analyze networks or inspect traffic. Ethernet is the transport that carries your real-time source data into the recorder, and the recorder captures that source data. The network itself is not the subject.
What sources can send data over Ethernet?
Any real-time digitized source that can output UDP over 10 Gigabit Ethernet. That covers RF, radar, imaging, EW, and other streams, the same sources handled on the application pages. Ethernet is one way to get that data to the recorder, chosen when the source already has a 10 Gigabit port.
Where does the recorded data go?
The stream writes to removable NVMe storage modules, so a long capture holds continuously and offloads fast between runs. Capacity is configured to the length of the capture.
