Thru-Sight Video (TSV) System
The TSV is a vehicle-appended system that provides video and audio recording of gunnery or tactical engagements in real time. The TSV is designed to support training at all proficiency levels during dry- or live-firing engagements.
TSV Components
The TSV consists of two subsystems: the audio and video recording (AVR) subsystem and the after-action review subsystem.
AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDING SUBSYSTEM
The AVR subsystem simultaneously records, on videotape, the commander's sight picture and the oral responses of the crew during training exercises. The AVR subsystem is contained in two transit cases and is the part of the TSV system that is appended to the vehicle.

AFTER-ACTION REVIEW SUBSYSTEM
The AAR subsystem is a stand-alone component of the TSV system that may be set up anywhere a 110/220V power source is available. It is used to replay the videotape recorded by the AVR subsystem while debriefing the crew.
| Note. | The TSV operator's manual describes the components in detail, to include installation instructions. |

TSV Capabilities and Limitations
CAPABILITIES
The TSV provides the trainer with the capability to capture the oral commands of the crew and sight picture of the gunner's primary sight extension (GPSE) on a standard high-density VCR tape. The system can be used with TWGSS to further enhance the amount of data available to conduct an AAR of a crew.
LIMITATIONS
When attached to the GPSE, the TSV causes an approximate 3 to 5 percent reduction of the tank commander's field of view.
Training with the TSV
The TSV system enhances both gunnery and tactical training. It should be used whenever training is being conducted and the system is available.
