Geutebruck says using the technology means one processor feeds 100 screens with live MPEG4 video at 25fps.
Traditionally, the volume of data in a CCTV system has been determined by what was required to meet the greatest size and highest resolution needed in the control room.
This has meant large volumes of data, high bandwidth and many display servers. However, ‘dynamic live streaming’ now enables Geutebruck systems to work “the other way round”, says the company.
Software gives the display server control over the size and quality of the image data to be transmitted so the system only transmits the data required by the display windows at that moment – “a fraction of the norm”.
Because no data is compressed, transmitted and then discarded, bandwidth usage is drastically reduced and, with less data to process, each display server can run many more screens
The new technology runs on the GeViScope CCTV platform. A mechanism monitors the display PC to ensure that picture data is not transmitted to it faster than it can process and ‘dynamic live streaming’ ensures that the compression hardware always transmits the image data at the right size for the display window.
The company says the technology solves problems for large new CCTV systems or installations where capacity has become a problem.
