Ruggedised video streamer/server

Advanced Micro Peripherals has introduced a modular IP streamer/server for remote video monitoring applications in defence and critical infrastructures. The Hydra system supports up to nine channels of video streaming along with a single audio input channel. The system 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 an

1039 Advanced Micro Peripherals has introduced a modular IP streamer/server for remote video monitoring applications in defence and critical infrastructures. The Hydra system supports up to nine channels of video streaming along with a single audio input channel. The system 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 the 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 suite the available network bandwidth.

    Machine vision offers new solutions to old problems
    The transportation sector is set to benefit from a far wider range of machine vision technology. While machine vision techniques have been applied to traffic management applications for some years, in some areas there can still be a shortage of knowledge about what the technology can offer transportation professionals. The image processing and interpretation functions of machine vision enables control room staff to be immediately alerted to occurrences requiring attention which, in turn, enables each person

    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

    Steve Lane, Commercial Director at Triteq, talks about the successful deployment of ZigBee in Barcelona where a low-cost wireless metropolitan network for location and citizen services was established. The project, he says, demonstrates ZigBee's effectiveness as an urban communications system solution ZigBee is based on the IEEE radio frequency standard 802.15.4 - 2006 for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN), which provides a license-free radio frequency for a flexible, robust private wireless network.

    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
