The 1045 Communications Specialties 16x16 Fiberlink Matrix, model OM16, is part of the fully configurable and SMPTE-compliant Fiberlink Matrix family which has the ability to configure the number of inputs and outputs in any fashion up to 16x16 for model OM16 and up to 32x32 for model OM32.

"The ability to order inputs and outputs on a singular basis is a very important feature of the Fiberlink Matrix," says Paul Seiden, director of sales. "Now a customer can purchase an optical matrix with the exact number of inputs and outputs they require giving them the ability to precisely meet their technical and budgetary needs. If a system integrator or a/v engineer has seven input signals that they need to route to 14 destinations, they can purchase a 7x14 Fiberlink Matrix. Traditionally, they would require a full 16x16 matrix for this application, purchasing more hardware than they require." Fiberlink Matrix is fully compliant with the extensive line of Fiberlink products for VGA, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, composite, component and S-video, gigabit Ethernet and much more. Fully SMPTE 297-2006 compliant for data rates up to 3 Gbps, it works with both single-mode and multimode fibre without the need for separate interface cards.

    IP technology the route to efficient multi-agency control rooms
    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

    Machine vision - cameras for intelligent traffic management
    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:

    Transportation applications move to machine vision’s mainstream
    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
