Single and multi-channel H.264 video servers

The X-Stream series of H.264 video encoders and decoders from COE Group includes a single channel boxed encoder, and two and four channel encoders which may be box-housed or rack-mounted. The range also includes a dual-channel decoder, the X-Stream 200D, capable of decoding H.264 streaming Ethernet video for use with analogue devices. By rack mounting X-Stream encoders in a standard X-Net rack, as many as 56 channels of analogue video may be encoded and transmitted across an IP Ethernet network from each ra

The X-Stream series of H.264 video encoders and decoders from 512 COE Group includes a single channel boxed encoder, and two and four channel encoders which may be box-housed or rack-mounted.

The range also includes a dual-channel decoder, the X-Stream 200D, capable of decoding H.264 streaming Ethernet video for use with analogue devices. By rack mounting X-Stream encoders in a standard X-Net rack, as many as

56 channels of analogue video may be encoded and transmitted across an IP Ethernet network from each rack chassis.

Additional daughter boards are available for the two- and four- channel encoders. COE claims this enhancement makes these encoders the world's first direct-to-fibre H.264 IP encoders. Additional features such as video loop-through and dual-redundant port connections are also enabled by the addition of the daughter board, providing unparalleled flexibility, according to COE.

The onboard analytics engine of X-Stream encoders is powered by COE's intelligent video analytics package. Analytics uses complex algorithms to identify and alert surveillance operators to a wide variety of rules. These rules include detection of abandoned objects, unauthorised access, vehicle tracking and more.

Designed in keeping with the X-Net fibre transmission range for use in demanding industrial and transport applications, X-Stream video servers with analytics have already been deployed for a comprehensive upgrade of 8,000+ cameras across Seoul's Metropolitan Subway network.

    Latest in IP video technology from Axis
    Axis Communications is here at the ITS World Congress to demonstrate the latest innovations in IP video technology, something the company is uniquely qualified to do. Twenty years ago, all surveillance cameras were analogue and delivered video via a coaxial cable to a recorder that stored the video on a VHS tape. Axis Communications says that when it invented the network camera in 1996, it made it possible to connect a video camera directly to a computer network. The shift from analogue to digital technolog

    Monitoring traffic flows is set to become an even bigger challengebut a revolution in camera technology can help, as Patrik Anderson explains. By 2025 almost 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas and in those cities there will be an estimated 6.2 billion private motorised trips every day. In order to manage this level of traffic growth, traffic management centres (TMCs) will need to both increase their monitoring capabilities and be able to detect traffic problems quickly, efficiently and r
