SLOC-based video technology

Sony Corporation has announced it will incorporate the new Intersil Security Link Over Coax (SLOC) technology into a number of its 2011 IP camera models, which will further enable the adoption of IP video surveillance. The SLOC technology, developed by the Intersil Techwell team, allows simultaneous transmission of analogue CVBS video and digital IP video over a single coaxial cable, enabling megapixel IP cameras to operate on existing CCTV coaxial infrastructure at distances of up to 500m.

576 Sony Corporation has announced it will incorporate the new Intersil Security Link Over Coax (SLOC) technology into a number of its 2011 IP camera models, which will further enable the adoption of IP video surveillance.

The SLOC technology, developed by the Intersil Techwell team, allows simultaneous transmission of analogue CVBS video and digital IP video over a single coaxial cable, enabling megapixel IP cameras to operate on existing CCTV coaxial infrastructure at distances of up to 500m. This hybrid surveillance system supports latency-free analogue CCTV as well as networked IP surveillance functionalities. The SLOC device will be incorporated directly into Sony's security cameras, providing customers with a flexible solution that allows latency-free live viewing and traditional real-time PTZ control.

"We are pleased that Intersil's new technology will enable us to offer new value to our customers by bringing an HD network camera solution to their existing SD infrastructure," says Takashi Honda, deputy senior general manager, Visual Security Solution business division, Sony Corporation.

    Axis Communications has been an innovator in surveillance camera technology for over 20 years, and visitors to the company’s booth at the ITS America Annual Meeting can see just how advanced the systems have become. As the company points out, all surveillance cameras were analog 20 years ago. They delivered video via a coaxial cable to a recorder that stored the video on a tape. It was in 1996 that Axis Communications invented the network camera, which made it possible to connect a video camera directly to

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
  • IP technology the route to efficient multi-agency control rooms
    February 1, 2012
    As IP-based technology makes its presence felt in the control room sector, it makes for greater economies of scale and also offers a migration path for many other traffic management technologies. So says Barco's Guy Van Wijmeersch. Efficient control room collaboration and decision-making is only possible if operators and decision-makers have easy and timely access to information. In many cases, that information also needs to be accessible to multiple users at the same time. This is certainly so in the case
