High output data rates with PCInt on the EVN MkIV data processor

The EVN MkIV data processor is being equipped with a high data output capability, called PCInt. In its next phase it will allow very high data output rates, up to 160 Mb/s. This functionality is required for the high spectral resolution that will be offered with recirculation. Moreover, VLBI observations traditionally focus on a small patch of sky and image typically a few 100 mas around a bright source. High spectral and time resolution is needed to image a larger area of the sky, up to the primary beam of the individual telescopes. After the upgrade such high resolution data will become the standard product. From the archive of high resolution data it will be possible to image many sources in each field of view around the original targets.
