5574 Traficon has unveiled Viewcom/E Max, its latest innovation for the US market. This module performs all primary functions for communication and transmission of traffic data and alarm events issued by VIP vehicle presence detectors.
New for this communication module is its more powerful processor, bringing higher computing performance and the addition of MPEG-4 video streaming functionality.
Bill Klyczek, VP of Traficon USA, explains: "Although our customers are very satisfied with the detection performance of our video detection products, an increasing number of people are also requesting MPEG-4 compression to view live video on their PC displays and video walls. Bringing in high-quality images at the TMC simply makes visual verification much stronger and allows the operator to take quick decisions to better monitor and control multiple intersections across the city."
This Viewcom/E Max module in operational mode provides streaming video at 30fps using a relatively small bandwidth. Multiple clients are able to view the streaming video simultaneously. Using a standard Internet browser, the module can easily be managed over the TCP/IP Ethernet network, thereby facilitating remote administration. This means users have easy access to a number of functionalities such as streaming video, real-time traffic data reports and can accomplish set-up right from their desks.
