This was recorded by a computer running Linux, using ffmpeg. Embedded Intel system with fairly stock cameras. "the first open source linux box running on the surface of Mars" "thank you to the open source community for allowing us to use your amazing software" Per their press conference today, in the Q&A section. https://youtu.be/gYQwuYZbA6o?t=4025 https://youtu.be/gYQwuYZbA6o?t=4025

The DSU runs the Linux operating system, along with additional software to communicate with the EDLCAM sensors, perform the EDL data collection sequence, manage the data storage and compress the collected data files.

The two DSUs are almost identical to each other and communicate with each other through a gigabit ethernet link. The rover DSU includes a 480 GB solid-state flash memory drive (SSD) for data storage, provides a gigabit Ethernet link between both DSUs, and implements the high-speed serial communication protocol to communicate to the rover computer.
