Host of new products for IndigoVision IP video range

IndigoVision has recently developed a number of new products and enhancements for its complete IP Video solution.  These included the 9000 series of IP Video products supporting H.264 and an Internet Streaming Server.The 9000 range includes updated versions of products currently available in the 8000 range: transmitters, IP domes and Networked Video Recorders (NVRs).  The new range provides the same high quality, low-latency video that has been consistently delivered by 8000 MPEG-4 based systems but with a reduction of up to 50% in bandwidth and storage requirement - or to put it another way, 9000 based systems can deliver significantly higher video quality for the same bandwidth.  IndigoVision partners can therefore deploy a complete end-to-end IP Video solution based on the latest H.264 compression technology.The Internet Streaming Server software plug-in allows a standard web server to stream live video over the Internet from any camera in an IndigoVision solution.  Developed following customer demand, this feature has many useful applications, for example delivering traffic camera feeds for local news websites.  The plug-in is simply installed onto a PC web server that is connected directly to the IP Video network.  The web server can then stream the selected live video simultaneously to as many as 10,000 Internet users without the need to install any proprietary software on the user's PC.‘Control Center', IndigoVision's class-leading video and alarm management software has also been updated with a number of new user features to accommodate the 9000 range.  IndigoVision will be selling the new 9000 products alongside the existing 8000 range, providing a wider choice of solutions to the end user.  Importantly, the new 9000 range is fully compatible with the current 8000 products, ensuring that any existing IndigoVision installations can be upgraded with products from either range.

The MPH100 Series provides a ruggedised standalone mechanics. The same encoding functionality is available as MPH400 Series that provides more installation options for rack based indoor deployments. System integrators will appreciate the small footprint of the MPH400 Series as a single 19” 3RU MPH rack can support at most 32 video channel inputs. Operational redundancy is supported by dual-powering. The MPH Series is available as a single video or dual video input model. For network connectivity the series contains alternative models with either electrical or optical interfaces. The standard operation supports fast Ethernet speed but has an option for Gigabit Ethernet level by a licensing scheme. The optical operation is supported by a versatile set of SFP transceivers to meet various network cabling requirements. Reliability is the second name of the MPH Series. It meets the compliance requirements of the EN50121 Railway standard as well as the NEMA TS2 standard widely used for ITS applications. The mechanical design is custom-made to meet the high performance criteria in harsh environments, and low cost of ownership is further guaranteed by the industry-leading figures for power consumption per functionality.

Geutebruck's software features impress visitors
Geutebruck's software features impress visitors

A constant stream of end-users and potential sales partners made the ISC West show very successful for the Geutebruck Security team. "Everyone was extremely impressed with the maturity of the product offering" reported Carl Raubenheimer, the company's Executive Vice President. "Interest was pretty evenly divided between all our exhibits but there was universal excitement with our software functionality."Both the GeViScope and the new GeViStore-IP video server-plus-storage solution support the use of Geutebruck's fast, efficient video encoding which gives normal, latency-free control of PTZs and speed domes, as well as delivering constant picture quality whatever the content. Besides well-known functions such as camera position authentication and dual channel streaming, it also offers lesser known ones such as ‘dynamic live streaming' (DLS) and 'fading long term memory' (FLTM).DLS establishes a feedback loop to ensure that the only picture data which is encoded and fed into the system is exactly what the display currently needs to meet the user's requirements and no more. It therefore minimizes network load and enables each display server to handle many more streams. FLTM, meanwhile enables high quality video to be retained for long periods using only a fraction of the normal storage capacity. Configured appropriately, FLTM progressively reduces the frame rate of stored footage over time, reflecting the different timescales in which different kinds of event are discovered and investigated, and the gradual reduction of residual risks. It can therefore slash archive costs without affecting utility or security.

Teleste CFO460 four channel video link provides low cost video transmission
Teleste CFO460 four channel video link provides low cost video transmission

CCTV and fibre optics – they are still dating Today a CCTV system does not necessarily need to be full IP yet. Much depends on the application, the scale of the video system or that the requirement is rather looking at a point-to-point transmission than spreading the signal into LAN or WAN network. The most critical specification requirement is naturally latency. For the vast number of analogue based CCTV cameras with composite video output still in use today, it is evident that the most efficient, maintenance- and trouble-free way of transmission is a basic fibre optic system. The same method is valid for HD video for which the transmitted content is a high bandwidth HD-SDI signal. The answer for deployments with high value on network safety and robustness against intrusion is a hybrid network solution. The so-called First Mile path from the CCTV camera to the nearest network node locating within “safe premises” can be carried out with a fibre optic link transmitting the signals in a secured and safe manner over a specific telecoms cabling or any dark fibre available. Such systems also have good scalability as there are available fibre modems that can multiplex and transmit various services simultaneously (video, audio, data, contact closure etc.). Multiplexing is also possible on the optical layer meaning that several modems can share the same fibre media. With very specific modems and passive backbone components the cabling topology can even be expanded from the typical point-to-point arrangement to support add-and-drop or redundant ring type operation – still only one fibre core is needed. The technology in these systems is based on standard CWDM lasers operating on different wavelengths. Should the application look at real time SD video operation the answer is modern fibre optic transmission. If the IP/Ethernet operation on the outer rim of the system is in control and approved, a modern fibre optic transmission system is an excellent choice for future system migration plans towards IP video. A specific fibre optic modem can support both analogue and digital IP cameras fluently by having the necessary interfaces to both worlds. Typically this is enabled by introducing a Fast Ethernet 10/100Base-TX interface available next to other interfaces reserved to analogue operation. In Teleste’s CFO fibre optic products, there is an implemented Ethernet support on the fibre modems that can be utilised for any type of IP based communication whether it´s video, LAN, industrial or VoIP related. The performance supports 100 Mbps operation in a Bridge Mode. Lately the CFO series fibre modems have also been harnessed with versatile SFP optical transceivers. In practise this means installation- and service-friendly approach by having a single modem model that can be equipped with the most suitable SFP transceiver depending e.g. on the cabling and distance requirement.
