1039 Advanced Micro Peripherals' modular, rugged IP streamer/server is designed for remote video monitoring applications in defence and critical infrastructure. The Hydra system supports up to nine channels of video streaming along with a single audio input channel. It has been designed and tested for both fixed and mobile applications in the toughest conditions, making use of military grade MIL-DTL-38999 connectors (with dust covers), input power protection for compatibility with vehicle power systems and infrared reflective paint. The system was also created as a modular solution to facilitate integration of other functions and application code to meet the requirements of specific applications.

The standard IP streamer/server system can be quickly configured over a LAN connection using a regular browser with the operating parameters for each video channel being set individually or as a group. Furthermore, the image quality and bit rate can be optimised to suit the available network bandwidth.

    For many, Ethernet- and IP-based networks are the cast-iron solution to ITS's communications needs. However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre

    Moxa provides clear vision for Caldecott Tunnel’s Fourth Bore
    Caldecott Tunnel’s new Fourth Bore is utilising a bespoke high-capacity monitoring and communications network from Moxa. The Caldecott Tunnel connects Contra Costa and Alameda counties in Northern California and traditionally it has suffered severe congestion - especially during peak hours. Opened in 1937 as a twin-bore arrangement, by 1964 the increase in traffic volumes led to a third bore being added. Shortly after the third bore was opened a tidal flow was introduced with the centre bore alternating in

    World's first hardened H.264 video server
    Optelecom-NKF has announced the Siqura C-60 E-MC, its new flagship encoder, as the world's first hardened, multi-format quad-streaming video server. The Siqura C-60 E-MC is capable of streaming H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and MJPEG simultaneously. Each stream is optimised for its purpose, for example using high-quality H.264 or MPEG-2 for live viewing, low-bandwidth H.264 or MPEG-4 for storage and low-resolution MJPEG for web applications or mobile devices such as PDAs.
